signal, it was designed to excel in areas where transparent and musical
dynamics control is desired. The beauty of the optical design is its
ability to apply heavy amounts of compression without pumping and
breathing like VCA-based compressors. In many cases you will hear
the results of the compression without hearing the compressor.
The tube-based equalizer was designed to help "fix" the instruments
that give us the most headaches when we're recording: kick, snare,
bass, toms, guitar amps, voice, etc. The two sweepable parametric
bands and selectable shelving bands have been optimized for musical
instruments. The two sweepable bands overlap each other and also the
high and low shelving bands, providing you with the ultimate in
flexibility. This EQ design gives you all the control you need to
effectively alter and dial in great sounds from even the poorest of
sources.

Unpacking

Your Tube Channel was packed with care at the factory. The shipping
carton was designed to protect the unit during initial shipment. Please
retain this carton for use in transporting the Tube Channel, or in the
unlikely event that you need to return your Tube Channel for
servicing.

AC Power Hookup

The Tube Channel has an internal power supply designed to operate at
100 to 125VAC, 50 to 60Hz. Units manufactured for use outside of the
United States have been modified to comply with the required
electrical specifications. Under no circumstances should the power
cable be altered. If the cable becomes cut or damaged, discontinue use
and have it replaced before operating the Tube Channel.

Audio Connections

Audio connections to and from the Tube Channel are balanced XLR
(Pin 2 = Hot (+), Pin 3 = Cold (-), Pin 1 = Ground) and unbalanced
¼" (Tip = Hot (+), Sleeve = Ground).
The insert points between the preamp and compressor and the
compressor and equalizer are ¼" (Tip = Hot (+), Sleeve = Ground)
