Further Details

LIQUID CHANNEL  The Liquid Channel is a revolutionary professional channel strip that can  emulate any classic mic-pre and compressor. Combining radical new  analogue preamp technology with Dynamic Convolution  techniques, The  Liquid Channel fuses cutting-edge analogue design with lightning fast  SHARC DSP. Augmented by fully digital controls and optional remote  software, The Liquid Channel provides the ultimate fluid vintage  collection.   Liquid technology   Rather than creating a similar sound to vintage units, as with modelling  devices, The Liquid Channel samples their sonic behaviour. This is  achieved through Dynamic Convolution™; the application of a unique,  level-dependant set of responses to an audio signal. These measured  responses, sampled at numerous levels and with every possible setting  combination, are applied to the input stream on a sample-by-sample basis  for accurate emulation.   Liquid preamplification   Mic-pre emulation can’t be achieved with software alone. Hardware is  required in addition to account for the physical interaction with the  microphone. As a result, Focusrite invested vast amounts of time and  energy into designing and building the ultimate ‘liquid’ preamplifier,  able to match the input impedance and signal path (transformer or  electronic) of the device being emulated.   Not all vintage units are born equal   Second order harmonic distortion is a beneficial artefact of analogue  circuits (especially tube and transformer-coupled designs) providing the  much loved ‘warmth’. However, often two units of the same type will vary  in the amount of second order distortion produced, so an additional  control for modifying this vintage property is provided. This allows for  precise matching of the Liquid Channel to your own beloved mic-pre.   The best of both worlds - analogue and digital   The Liquid Channel combines a highly complex, massively flexible analogue  front-end with Dynamic Convolution™ processing, which utilises lightening  fast SHARC chips and runs at sample rates of up to 192kHz. The front  panel controls are digital, with tactile rotary encoders; all parameters  can be stored in one of 99 program memories. At the press of button, you  can reload all mic-pre, compressor and EQ settings for an individual  session. If using The Liquid Channel in conjunction with a recording  platform (e.g. Pro Tools), both the session files and The Liquid  Channel’s program memory can be sent via standard data transfer methods,  providing a completely mobile recording session. Perfectly emulated  vintage classics with the power and ease of use of the digital domain.   Infinite expansion and remote control   The USB port on the rear panel allows remote control of The Liquid  Channel, leaving the processor safely racked away. But that’s not all.  The software application also serves as an archiving system for  additional emulations and program memories, and permits downloads of  additional classic units from www.ffliquid.com. So, The Liquid Channel is  infinitely expandable.
