Welcome to the Colour Duo
Thank you for purchasing the Colour Duo. Now let’s get oriented.
The Duo is designed to be the ultimate Palette for the Colour format. It is a two-channel, combination mic preamp
and line-level processor. The channels can be used independently or as a stereo pair. The Colour section features
three Colour slots with independent controls, a makeup gain/trim control, and a wet/dry mix knob. Colours can
be swapped via the Duo’s unique drawer feature without having to disconnect or power down the unit.
If you purchased your Colour Duo as a DIY kit, please visit the online assembly guide:
