A Recording Legend in 19" Format
The Harrison 32Classic Mix Strip is an all-analog mix strip designed to bring the renowned Harrison Audio sound and flagship 32Classic console processing tools into your studio—in a convenient 19" rackmount format. Featuring new hybrid-workflow capabilities and an integrated stereo-mix bus for summing, the 32Classic Mix Strip delivers legendary sonic quality, while introducing innovative features to streamline your production process.
Drawing from the iconic design of the 32Classic console, the 32Classic Mix Strip boasts a premium Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer-coupled microphone preamp, character-rich Harrison LP and HP filters with a 3 dB resonant peak, and a silky-smooth 4-band parametric EQ. The original Harrison 3232 console was instrumental in shaping timeless records by legendary artists such as Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, and many others, cementing its place in music history.
Comprehensive Input Section
- The 32Classic Mix Strip includes a versatile input section, featuring dedicated Mic and Line XLR inputs on the rear panel. For added convenience, it also offers a front-panel input with selectable Instrument / Hi-Z and Mic options.
- The mic input is equipped with essential utilities such as 48V phantom power, a -20 dB pad, phase flip, and a tricolor LED meter. Both the Mic and Line inputs have independent gain controls, ensuring precise adjustments and superior performance across both inputs.
Harrison Mic Pre—The Sound of Legends
- A defining feature of classic Harrison recordings is the high-performance, transformer-coupled microphone preamp. True to its heritage, the 32Classic Mix Strip mic preamp offers 70 dB of clean gain to deliver the warm, rich tone that made Harrison famous.
- Expect full low-end, open midrange, and supersmooth natural highs, thanks to the Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer. The transformer’s gentle roll-off at each end of the frequency spectrum and delicate phase shift creates a remarkably sweet and musical sound, making it ideal for virtually any source material.
Characterful LP/HP Filters
- As featured in the original 3232 and the latest 32Classic console, 32Classic Mix Strip’s low-pass and high-pass filters offer a musical 12 dB/octave slope.
- The high-pass filter, ranging from 25 Hz to 3.1 kHz, includes a characterful 3 dB resonant peak, while the low-pass filter spans 160 Hz to 20 kHz—ideal for eliminating rumble or smoothing high frequencies. The real Harrison magic starts when used in combination with the EQ section to tighten the low end and bloom open the top end, without sounding harsh or brittle.
32Classic EQ
- The 32Classic Mix Strip brings the iconic 4-band parametric EQ from the 32Classic console to a 19” rack format for the first time.
- Originally crafted in the 1970s—an era where you had to just get it right on the way in—its frequency bands and proportional Q design were painstakingly developed to offer both broad musical curves and precise sculpting to get the best from any source material or recording scenario.
Integrated Mixbus and Hybrid Workflow Features
- Build your Harrison recording and mixing system one channel at a time with the 32Classic Mix Strip’s integrated mixbus. Designed to enhance workflows and elevate recording and mixing capabilities, the mixbus allows outputs from multiple units to be cascaded together via rear panel ‘summing’ connectors and jumper cables.
- Balance signals using the Fader control, and Pan them across the stereo outputs. Or, engage the 0 dB Fader Bypass and record at unity gain. Perfect for hybrid workflows, mobile rigs, or tracking rooms, the 32Classic Mix Strip’s integrated mixbus delivers the iconic Harrison tone with exceptional flexibility.
Insert Point
- 32Classic Mix Strip includes a balanced Insert Point (located after the mic-pre prefilters) for inserting other processing gear such as a compressor into the signal path of the unit.
Channel Outputs
- The 32Classic Mix Strip provides useful pre and post-fader direct outputs for versatility and enhanced control when feeding a recording device.
32Classic MS Sidecar
- Enhance your mixing and/or tracking workflow by combining multiple 32Classic Mix Strip channels for use as a sidecar to your existing setup. Perfect for drum or instrument buses, it adds the iconic Harrison sound to your sonic palette, delivering warmth, depth, and flexibility to any recording or mixing application.
