Use the two compressors in series for total dynamics control, process low and high frequencies separately, or introduce harmonic richness with the Bloom and Grit modes. Both circuits feature fully variable Attack, Release, Threshold, Gain, and Blend controls, plus thoughtfully selected ratio options and sidechain filters. A central set of controls allows you to toggle between routing modes, flip the order of processing, and set a crossover anywhere between 50 and 500 Hz.

The Attack, Release, Threshold, Gain, and Blend controls are identical to the FET stage, while the Ratio switch offers 2:1 and 5:1 settings for ultra-transparent leveling or stronger envelope-shaping.

Bass can be cut or boosted by 15dB, middle by 6dB, and treble by 10dB. The Bright switch is a position dependent preset tied directly to the Input Gain control. At lower gain settings, where human hearing naturally loses high frequency perception, the Bright circuit boosts high frequencies and gently rolls off the low end to maintain clarity and presence. As input gain is increased, the Bright effect progressively tapers off, preventing harshness and keeping the tone balanced at higher levels. Using the Bright switch with the EQ lets you simultaneously boost and cut certain frequencies, somewhat enabling the Pultec (boost while cut) trick and a wide range of tonal options.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eDEDICATED REAMP INPUT\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe dedicated reamp input accepts line level signals, allowing prerecorded tracks or stems to run through the tube circuitry for tonal enhancement and harmonic enrichment.

The newly developed elysia Shell Precision Metering ensures that the correct input level can always be monitored. With an adjustable high-pass filter, any unwanted frequencies can be filtered out in advance. The polarity can also be conveniently changed with a long press on the button. The built-in +48V phantom power also supplies the devices that need it with sufficient power.

Both frequency and gain can be adjusted using the six elysia Shell Controllers. The Q factor can be set for each of the four bands, and there is even a shelf filter for the low and high bands, everything is clearly visible and adjustable via the elysia Shell display. The particularly exciting and unique feature is that each band can also be controlled dynamically – a feature normally only known from plug-ins. An intelligent gain function ensures that the dynamic function only reacts to the levels in the set band, regardless of the input level. The elysia Shell Precision Metering again shows its strengths and displays the set intensity and equalizer activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eEASY-TO-USE COMPRESSOR\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eCompression when recording can often be challenging – which values do I need to set and when? The channex | studio compressor simplifies many of these settings for you. Set the threshold, control the attack and release using the one-knob timing control and adjust the level to your liking using the make-up gain – that’s it! Once again, elysia Shell Precision Metering shows its strengths because the gain reduction is visible in the display at a glance. Of course, there are other features that the channex | studio inherits from the elysia compressor family, such as the gain reduction limiter. This limiter allows loud parts to retain their dynamics because they are not compressed any further beyond the set value. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eFLAVOR - COLOR YOUR SOUND\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn the audio world, many are looking for the hardware device to create their own sound.

With the channex | studio, you can now choose from five of these coloring options, mix them together and adjust their intensity individually. Designed for the warm vintage sound, but also modern new sounds are possible with the flavor option. Each option offers up to five different levels of intensity, from off to strongly colored.

For us it was crucial that the recall capability is also available in standalone mode, so elysia made it possible to store up to 23 presets directly on the device. In addition to the local preset storage, there will also be a channex | studio plugin for your DAW that allows you to save the presets to your session. You can name your own presets in the plugin, change their order, and also export or import them. Automation is also possible via the DAW, making it easy to implement even complex applications. This gives you maximum flexibility when it comes to saving your recording session settings and recalling them quickly the next time you need them.

With the three high-quality headphone amplifiers, the channex | studio offers a high flexibility for any monitoring situation. The three independent mixes can be used for the producer, the artist and for the studio monitors. With the elysia Shell controllers you can easily adjust the volume levels for playback (coming from the DAW), the processed microphone or line signal and a built-in reverb for each of the three mixes. The two 6.3 mm headphone outputs on the front have impedance detection to recognize different headphone impedances and adjust the volume accordingly. For communication in the studio, a talkback microphone input with preamp is provided at the back, which can be activated either via the push-button or with a footswitch.
