About Joe Meek Studio Channel

An innovative addition to the audio equipment landscape, the OneQ2 Master Studio Channel is a single channel powerhouse that combines a Mic Pre with Cinemag microphone transformers, a highly musical four-band EQ, and a signature optical compressor. This unique combination is further enhanced by a De-Esser and Enhancer, making it a master channel that stands out from the crowd.

The OneQ2 is housed in a sleek 2u chassis, with an elegantly sculpted faceplate that boasts a clear, easy-to-read layout and a large analog VU meter. This master studio channel also comes equipped with 24bit, 96K A/D converters with word clock input and output, setting a new standard for studio master channels.

The ultra-clean microphone preamplifier uses a top-quality cinema microphone transformer, ensuring world-class sound. The four-band EQ with sweep LM and HM, selectable LF and HF, offers a highly musical sound experience. The full-featured optical compressor includes a compressor link for stereo applications, while the De-esser with Listen Function allows for quick and precise elimination of sibilance.

The OneQ2 also features a large, accurate VU metering for quick monitoring of level and gain reduction. The Iron Switch sends the line input through the mic transformer, adding coloration to the sound. The front panel instrument input can be used as a DI during sessions, and XLR inputs are available both at the front and rear for easy session setup.

The Harmonic Enhancer adds definition without increasing gain, and the 24 Bit 96K Analog Digital Converters with AES/EBU, S/PDIF, Optical and word clock ensure high-quality sound conversion. The microphone input transformer is permanently assigned to the "Mic" Input, with the "IRON" switch optionally sending the "Line" input through the transformer for added coloration.

The OneQ2 Master Studio Channel is like having a professional recording studio in a single box. It amplifies, compresses, and equalizes microphones or instruments, readying them for recording. Simple to use yet extremely powerful, the OneQ2 enhances any microphone or instrument, giving a professional studio production gloss to all performances. It's also highly useful for live work, acting as a preamplifier, optical compressor, Meequalizer EQ, Enhancer, De-Esser, Fader, and A to D Converter Digital Interface.

The Joemeek Digital Audio Interface provides high-quality digital audio outputs and the ability to synchronize to an external word clock. The digital audio outputs are compatible with most digital recorders, Digital Audio Workstations, and mixers. The Joemeek Digital Interface has highly stable onboard master clocks for low-jitter, high-fidelity results.

The OneQ2 Master Studio Channel is a versatile, high-quality addition to any audio setup, offering a range of features that enhance and improve sound quality.
