JoeMeek TwinQ Studio Channel Preamp/EQ/Compressor

The Joemeek twinQ is everything you ever wanted in a dual studio channel - and then some!

JoeMeek started with high quality Burr-Brown IC's for the preamp, added an extremely musical EQ section and an optical compressor for that signature "Meek" sound. Then we included some new and innovative features, like an "Iron" switch that switches the IC front end to a transformer - completely changing the topology of the circuit. It even has 24bit, 96k A/D converters built in.

All of this comes housed in a rugged 2u chassis with a beautifully sculpted aluminum faceplate.

With sonic quality rivaling mic pre's priced thousands of dollars more, the twinQ sets a new standard for dual channels!

REVIEW:

A Tremendous Value! - HomeRecording.com
"In conclusion, this is a very good channel strip. It is far more versatile and a lot cleaner and quieter than it's daddy... The new VU meters are more accurate, respond more rapidly to transients, and in spite of being a little smaller than the old ones, are easier to read.... it's a very nice preamp that can produce a huge spectrum of different sounds, and an asset to any studio"
