The new model 2950 brought a facelift to one of SPL's best-selling products. Now the new SPL design represents the common origin of the channel strips Frontliner, Channel One and Track One.
However, technically SPL did not change anything to continue the success of the Channel One with tried and tested quality.

The Channel One comes with all tools onboard for recording voices, instruments and digital or analog audio sources with the highest sound quality:

- Transistor/tube preamplifier
- SPL's De-Esser
- Compressor/limiter with noise gate
- EQ section
- Headphone monitor
- Options: 24/96 A/D converter, Lundahl I/O transformers

Each stage contributes to the concept as the ideal recording frontend for world-class sounds the easy way: intelligent automation ensures both intuitive and fast as well as musical operation for the finest recording results.

"Until you've tried something that works this well, the words 'smooth' and 'detailed' won't have nearly as much meaning as after playing with the Channel One. If you're wondering where that elusive 'produced' vocal sound is hiding, look no further – it's in here!"
