Aphex 230 - Master Voice Channel Processor
- No Longer Available
The 230 Master Voice Processor from Aphex is a comprehensive channel strip with a tube based microphone preamplifier. Especially useful in the broadcast production environment, the unit allows vocal talent to sound bigger and/or have their voice heard above the crowd.
Very easy to use, the 230 has a comprehensive set of dynamics and equalizer functions, including a compressor and gate, a parametric EQ and both of Aphex's harmonic/frequency enhancers. A send/return insert point provides access to the signal path between the dynamics processing and equalizers.
An analog to digital converter with multiple format outputs (available simultaneously,) and wordclock input and output makes the unit an indispensable tool in the production room, or installed as a permanent, on-air feed through for each special talent, set once and locked behind a security cover.
