The ORIGIN, single channel (mono) Class A music recording system offering Twin Topology signal paths on every function — two mic preamps, two EQ’s, two opto-compressors, two de-essers, transformer / non-transformer, metering + numerous I/O functions.
Over 130 Optimized Signal Topologies * Twin Mic Preamps — M-2B vacuum tube or HV-3 discrete solid state
* Twin NSEQ-2 Mastering-Grade Parametric Eqs — vacuum tube or discrete solid state
* Three Opto Compressor/Limiter Paths — TCL vacuum tube, discrete solid state, passive
* Twin Opto De-Esser Paths — vacuum tube or discrete solid state
* Vacuum tube or discrete solid state line level paths
* Input coupling with or without MIT-01 audio transformer
* 1/4” vacuum tube DI input — route via tube or solid state gain path
* Effortless, lifelike musical performance at all levels
* Musically rich vacuum tubes available
* Gold audio connectors, tube sockets, relays and switches
* 3/8“ thick radius extruded aluminum face plate
