Joemeek OneQ2 2U Deluxe Channel Strip

The oneQ2 studio channel from Joemeek builds on the outstanding audio quality of the sixQ2 to bring added versatility to both project and professional studios. Designed around a transformer-based mic input and the classic Joemeek optical compressor, the oneQ2 adds musical four-band EQ, harmonic enhancer, and a versatile de-esser to give you full vintage vibe plus the ability to output 24-bit/96kHz digital audio to your DAW. It's 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.
