General Introduction
The Gold Channel is designed so that all its main functions are available directly on the front panel: Input select, +48V phantom, gain
setting with PAD, Lo-Cut, Phase Invert, Mute, Soft Clipper and Meter select. These combined with separate bypass buttons for each
processing block and a user friendly display, gives you an intuitive box that is very easy to use, despite the many features.
The Gold Channel is a true dual mono machine with four processing blocks on each channel that can be selected, routed and changed
individually, or if placed in the same routing position, can be linked for stereo operation.
The Gold Channel has three basic modes: 1) Four blocks of processing available on each channel (44.1 or 48 kHz)
2) With one processing block on each channel that runs at double sample rate (88.2 or 96 kHz)
3) Three processing blocks on channel 1 which run at double sample rate (88.2 or 96 kHz)
Gold Channel features:
- Two channels of high-end mic-preamplification.
- Two types of Expander/Gate algorithms that enable
you to use either an over-easy Noise-Gate or a more
comprehensive Expander with additional parameters.
- Two types of Compressor algorithms where TC has
emulated the warm analog sound of vintage
compressors.
- Two types of EQ algorithms that incorporate TC
Electronic’s proprietary SoftSat technology. Easy EQ
is an emulation of vintage EQ’s, plus an Advanced EQ
with additional parameters.
- A De-Esser, which can help remove the sibilant
sounds from vocal recordings.
- A Dynamic EQ which is a De-esser with additional
frequency range and control, enabling you to use it as
a De-popper.
- A Digital Radiance Generator (DRG
TM
) which adds a
tube-like sound to your material.
- R.I.A.A. equalization allows you to connect your
turntable to the mic-inputs.
- M/S encoding and decoding both before and after the
processing blocks, gives you the opportunity to take
advantage of this recording technique, that has been
used for years in the film and broadcast industries.
