Summit Audio ECS-410
Channel Strip Everest

ECS-410

Summit Audio's ECS-410 Everest Channel Strip is a distinctly different, four section analog processor and microphone preamp, ideal for tracking, recording, and processing your most important signals. Each section is completely independent with its own fully balanced IO with the ability to route each section together internally with TouchPatch™, a unique and amazingly intuitive routing section.

Four complete products, amalgamated into one master channel strip:

• Mz2- Microphone and Instrument Preamplifier
• Dc1- Dual Mode Dynamics Control
• Fe1- Passive Three Band Equalizer
• Db2- Drive Bus Master Output and Drive Section

Features:

• Discrete 4 section analog channel strip with tube/solid state preamp, passive EQ, dual mode dynamics, DriveBus output, TouchPatch™ routing
• Single touch routing with TouchPatch™
• Each section has independent balanced inputs and outputs for total flexibility
• Completely variable sound from open and pristine to total overdrive
