FOCUSRITE LIQUID CHANNEL
July 2004—The Focusrite (www.focusrite.com) Liquid Channel was designed to address the needs of engineers who couldn't — or didn't want to — transport large amounts of analog mic preamps and compressors from gig to gig. With increasingly complex patching arrangements in modern mixing setups, acquiring sounds via classic gear in a digitally dominated environment can be somewhat of a logistical nightmare. As a result, Focusrite decided to create a solution that precisely replicates the sonic performance of many of these coveted analog devices in a reliable, ultimately flexible, all-in-one package. Besides encompassing a head-spinning collection of classic sounds created through sonic-modeling techniques called Dynamic Convolution, the $3,495 Liquid Channel also offers a vast analog front end configurable for any input stage. The unit comes with 40 mic preamps and 40 compressor replicas; Focusrite promises more models for the future, citing the Liquid Channel's “infinite expansion capabilities.” A digital EQ — based on Focusrite's classic equalizers — is also included. Front panel controls are all digital, allowing settings to be saved in one of 100 memories. Complete system remote control, data management and archiving are provided via the rear panel USB port where users can connect to LiquidControl, Liquid Channel's software application. Offered free of charge, LiquidControl also allows the downloading of additional replicas not present in the factory presets.
