Everything Your Signal Path is Missing!

In the studio or onstage, the extremely versatile Aphex Project Channel is the affordable channel strip you need to get production-quality sound without endless knob tweaking. On the input side, you get a warm Class A preamplifier with phantom power, a 70Hz highpass filter, and a -20dB pad. There's even a separate DI circuit to keep your instrument signal extra clean. Next, there's the Project Channel's easy-to-use 1-knob optical compressor, which lets you tame your transients, slam your dynamics, or accomplish anything in between. But that's just the beginning.

Aphex is far and wide known for their Aural Exciter and Big Bottom processors, which spiff up your sound without robbing it of its essential character. Good news - they're both in the Aphex Project Channel! More specifically, the Aural Exciter adds even-order harmonix to your sound, bringing out the clarity of your acoustic instruments, adding air to your vocals, or just generally adding presence to your sound.

Then there's the Big Bottom processor. This sound-sweetening circuitry brings out your bass in a way no mere EQ or compressor can. If you want chest-thumping, hard-hitting low end, then the Project Channel's Big Bottom processor is golden. Top it off with 1/4", XLR, and even digital S/PDIF outputs, and you know the Aphex Project Channel was built for any production rig.
