Modular Channel 8755 DM-LI

$4,545.00 CAD

Description

The Overstayer Modular Channel 8755DM-LI is a versatile stereo channel strip that blends filters, EQ, compression, and harmonic enhancement in one powerful unit. Designed with a console-like aesthetic, it preserves the fidelity of a full mix while offering the flexibility to push into bold, creative extremes. Its carefully tuned circuits and high-quality components make it equally at home in tracking, mixing, or mastering setups.

The 8755DM-LI adds transformer-coupled microphone inputs with pad, polarity, and phantom power to the already comprehensive feature set. Sculpt tones with wide-ranging resonant filters, musical shelving EQ, and a fully sweepable proportional-Q mid band. Shape dynamics using the VCA compressor with peak/RMS detection, sidechain options, and unique BEHAVIOR control. Engage the independent harmonic stages for subtle coloration or rich saturation. At the heart of the unit is a series/parallel mixer matrix, allowing seamless blending of dry, EQ'd, compressed, and saturated signals with flexible routing. The result is a true modular channel that gives engineers and producers a wide palette of tonal control without compromising signal integrity.

Caractéristiques

Stereo signal path: Designed to handle full mixes with console-level fidelity.

Mic, line & instrument inputs: Transformer-coupled mic preamps (with pad, polarity & phantom power), balanced line inputs, and high-impedance instrument inputs.

Powerful filters: Wide-ranging high/low-pass filters capable of resonating to full oscillation.

Versatile EQ: High/low shelves with selectable frequencies plus a fully sweepable proportional-Q mid band.

VCA compression: With peak/RMS detection, 3 attack/release settings, behavior control, sidechain HPF & external sidechain input.

Harmonics stages: Independently engageable for rich saturation and color.

Mixer matrix: Dry, EQ, compressor, and saturation paths blendable in series or parallel with dedicated faders and mute switches.

Rear-panel I/O: Direct preamp outs, insert send/return, expansion ports, balanced outs, external sidechain input.
