The Presonus Studio Channel is a channel strip that features a tube preamp, a VCA compressor, and a 3-band parametric EQ. The tube preamp section features two knobs: Gain and Tube Drive. This allows you to adjust the amount of signal that hits the tube circuitry, opening up a wide range of sonic options. The VCA compressor section is well-suited to help all different kinds of audio sit nicely in a mix, whether it's percussion with fast transients, or smooth and silky vocals. The parametric EQ features a custom amplifier with a gain control on each of the 3 bands, with a variable Q knob on the mid frequency.

I have a PreSonus StudiLive AR12 mixer. Would I be correct in saying that this sits before the mixer in the chain? So mic into this channel, channel out to the mixer. If so would I bring it in as a mixer channel insert? Thanks everyone!
Hey John thanks for the reply. So I tried that with the mic in the line out in the back of the channel into the line/instrument of the AR12 but I get nothing. It's like the mic doesn't exist? I have phantom turned on and the mute/PFL/AFL etc are all off. This is why the question because I must be missing something but I cannot figure it out. Thanks again for the reply

question
Am I understanding this correctly--the PreSonus Studio Channel has a compressor, but does NOT have a Noise Gate? Meaning that noise gets increased in volume as well? Thanks.
Correct, there is no noise gate or expander in the Studio Channel. Compressors don't increase level (or noise), they only decrease or limit dynamic range. If you don't have your input gain set correctly, that will decrease your signal-to-noise ratio. If you apply compression to a noisy signal, that noise will seem louder because you've brought the input signal peak and noise floor closer together by compressing the dynamic range of that original signal. Hope that helps!
