<\/a><\/p>\nThe BritStrip console channel strip\u2019s D.I. is also taken from the highly-acclaimed design found in the 73JR II, an all-discrete Class-A JFET (Junction Field-Effect Transistor) circuit fronting the microphone transformer to provide all the colour and weight any present-day demanding engineer could conceivably ask for. Furthermore, the D.I. also includes a passive THRU output to feed a separate amplifier.<\/p>\n As an expanded 73 equalizer, effectively, the BritStrip\u2019s EQ features three Vinkor pot core inductors in the MID band and H.P. (high-pass) FILTER sections, such that the impact is hard to believe with extreme boosts being exceptionally musical. Moreover, the MID band is great for sculpting fat and punchy snare, kick, guitars, vocals, and anything else! No need for subtlety \u2014 as is the case with most EQs \u2014 since the BritStrip does not sound \u2018phase-y\u2019 or lose headroom in extreme settings. Indeed, its inductor-based low-pass filter, directly taken from the 73 design, lets users control out of range low end without affecting the quality of sought-after frequencies. Furthermore, the BritStrip\u2019s HIGH SHELF and LOW SHELF settings have been extended to include a bell mode, making them more versatile.<\/p>\n Veering into compression territory, its implementation in the BritStrip renders it perfect for tracking, thanks to the BLEND control and elaborate SC. (sidechain) FILTER flexibly giving instruments \u2018record-ready\u2019 dynamics to provide performers with a \u2018finished feel\u2019 in real time. The compressor section provides plenty of sidechain flexibility, with five frequency choices and an external sidechain (SC. EXT) option. Owners of two BritStrip console channel strips can even LINK their respective compressors, creating the ultimate stereo tracking solution!<\/p>\n Further flexibility abounds as the BritStrip allows for compression and equalizer routing, with pre-compression EQ\u2019ing making the compression detector more sensitive to the boosted frequencies and less sensitive to those cut, while post-compression EQ\u2019ing makes the compression detector unresponsive to the EQ settings.<\/p>\n Saying all that, then, as the culmination of 50 years of analogue design, BritStrip is surely specified to nail the sound of yesteryear\u2019s iconic recordings for present-day demanding engineers as a British-spec discrete Class-A console channel strip with a Successor-like compressor, conveniently housed in a single-space 19-inch rack- mounting chassis that looks and feels the part.<\/p>\n The BritStrip is shipping and available now via RAD Distribution in the US (http:\/\/www.raddist.com\/heritage-audio.php<\/a>) \u2014 with a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) of $2,499.00 USD \u2014 and elsewhere \u2014 with an SSP (Standalone Selling Price) of \u20ac2,499.00 EUR (including VAT) \u2014 via Heritage Audio\u2019s growing global network of dealers (https:\/\/heritageaudio.net\/where-to-buy-international\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
