OVERVIEW

Push the big iron with Joe Meek' sixQ2 studio channel

The sixQ2 studio channel from Joemeek brings outstanding audio quality to both project and professional studios. Designed around a transformer-based mic input, musical three-band EQ and the classic Joemeek optical compressor, the sixQ2 gives you full vintage vibe plus the ability to output 24-bit/96kHz digital audio to your DAW via S/PDIF or optical connectors. It' the perfect way for project studios to add some major sonic muscle and for larger studios to offer a broader range of options to customers.

Joemeek Q series studio channels provided ultra-clean, world-class mic pres combined with amazingly musical EQ, built-in high-quality digital converters, a unique ˜IRON™ transformer-coupling switch to add some special sonic coloration and the famous Joemeek optical compressor. The Q2 series offers several upgrades from the original spec with a new top-quality Cinemag mic transformer, more headroom, and the ability to route the line input through the mic transformer for the type of euphonic effects that only come from finely tuned audio components.

FEATURES
  • Ultra-clean microphone preamplifier with Cinemag transformer
  • œIron switch sends line input through mic transformer to add color and vintage vibe
  • Highly musical 3-band EQ with sweepable lows and mids
  • Full-featured optical compressor from vintage smooth to completely over the top dynamics effects
  • Balanced and unbalanced I/O to interface with any system
  • 24-bit/96kHz digital converters with both optical and S/PDIF connections
