SPL RACKPACK Rack Recording Strip and Live Modules
New RACKPACK Modules, PHONITOR Headphone Monitoring Amplifier, FRONTLINER Channel Strip And Processing Rack
NEW RACKPACK MODULES Last year SPL has launched the RackPack modular system and started with two different preamps and the Transient Designer as the first modules. This year the RackPack is extended with six new modules, so that studio and live engineers can choose from a wide variety of processors to configure individual RackPacks.
1. Full Ranger – Passive EQ with coil filters for the whole frequency spectrum 2. Bass Ranger - Passive EQ with coil filters for the bass range 3. Vox Ranger - Passive EQ with coil filters for the vocal range 4. TwinTube – Combined saturation and presence tube effects 5. DeEsser – Works with phase cancellation instead of traditional compression 6. DynaMaxx – set & forget compressor, updated for the RackPack
EQ Modules The EQ modules are designed as passive, graphical EQs and optimized to certain instruments or processing ranges: center frequencies, amplitudes and bandwidths are adjusted to the specific task, and each filter is based upon individually selected coils. The Full Ranger module is the necessary exception in this concept. With ISO frequencies to process the whole frequency range, the Full Ranger can be used as as a versatile addition to the specialized versions. Soundwise it makes a lot of sense to optimize the EQ modules to their tasks, but it also allows to configure highly specialized EQ systems without having to decide for a final state – there is always the option to upgrade an existing package with further EQ modules. SPL already announced further specialized modules, i. e. for processing of lead instruments and drums. Availability of Ranger modules is scheduled for June 2008.
TwinTube Module The TwinTube module is a tube effects processor to apply typical tube sound effects to any signal. Tube saturation can be regulated to add subtle to heavy harmonic tube distortions for more punch and rougher sounds. The Harmonics control allows for moving signals up front in a mix or to ennoble the top end in general with the nice touch of tube harmonics. Both effects can be used separately or simultaneously and in common. SPL recommends studio and live applications primarily in single track processing. Availability of the TwinTube module is scheduled for May 2008.
DeEsser Module Just like the standalone version, the de-esser module for the RackPack system is based upon phase cancellation. An additional feature of the module is a manual frequency control in the range from 4.5 to 9 kHz, which can be used alternatively to the standard auto sibilance detection. Availability of the DeEsser module is scheduled for June 2008.
DynaMaxx Module The simplicity of the dual-channel standalone DynaMaxx version also characterizes the new RackPack module: with just two controls, Compression and Make Up Gain, the DynaMaxx surprises with its disarmingly simple user interface. According to SPL, developer Vincenzo Triolo has done a great job when he transferred the original circuits to the extremely compact module format – controversies about the better version are still going on at SPL. Availability of the DynaMaxx module is scheduled for June 2008.
PHONITOR 120V Headphone Monitoring Amplifier
SPLs innovative product history is reason enough to expect new ideas when their engineers engage themselves in a new issue, and the field of headphone amplifiers with the brandnew Phonitor as the result of SPL's development engagement makes no exception. The name already implies the key feature: SPL announces that with the Phonitor headphones become a full alternative to monitoring speakers. To allow for control of sound impressions comparable to speakers in a room, the Phonitor offers new parameters such as Crossfeed, Speaker Angle and Center Level. Based upon SPL‘s unique 120 V technology which was initially developed for their mastering product series, the Phonitor aims at high-end users to fulfill highest demands in sound quality. It is SPL's flagship of a new sort of headphone amps they call Headphone Monitoring Amplifiers. The company plans to launch further units in standard technology soon, e. g. a RackPack module. Availability of the Phonitor is scheduled for May 2008.
FRONTLINER Recording channel and compact analog processing rack
SPL's new channel strip combines Preamp, De-Esser, Compressor, EQ and Tube Output for a fully featured recording channel. But often the particular stages would also be a great addition to an engineers mixing tools arsenal – and that is why SPL has spent dedicated I/Os to the sections of the new Frontliner. Each stage can be used separately and for example be routed via a patchbay to insert the whole toolbox into a studio environment. The Frontliner features a hybrid, Class A preamp design with discrete solid state stage and a tube section with switchable drive settings. It is positioned as the top of the line product in SPL's range of channel strips. Availability of the Frontliner is scheduled for October 2008.
