has put its 20 years of experience into the production of the company’s first channel strip. The JZ Track, produced by SPL in Germany to JZ specifications, was on display. It is a 1U mono unit pre-amplifier carrying a de-esser, compressor/limiter stage, output stage with metering and a 3-band EQ stage. Linking the compressor to a second JZ Track compressor will allow for the coherent stereo operation of two units. The company will also offer an optional A-D card with SPDIF and ADAT outputs. “When JZ Microphones asked us to make a special channel strip for them we were excited and proud at the same time,” says managing director of SPL, Hermann Gier.
