Frontliner is armed with a pristine preamp, DeEsser, compressor limiter and equaliser all in 2Us of nineteen inch rackspace. Besides combining to produce an awesome tone assembly line, each processor in the chain can also be accessed via individual analogue ins and outs to patch in external signals and add colouration to a mix.
The Frontliner’s bulletproof signal chain features a discrete semiconductor tube hybrid microphone preamplifier harnessing the spatial warmth of tubes combined with the low noise operation of semiconductors. Both stages operate at 250V giving a huge amount of headroom and flawless transients.
Burr-Brown op-amps have been chosen to regulate voltage from start to finish, and wiring adheres to SPL’s central-star grounding scheme to minimise any potential noise in the chain.
Along with a balanced microphone input, Frontliner also caters for line inputs ideal for adding extra definition to stereo or even virtual instruments. The preamp stage can also be used to liven up quieter signals to prep them for further processing via the DeEsser or EQ during mixing.
Finally a high-impedance TS jack input on the front of the strip also makes Frontliner an awesome choice for tracking Hi-Z instruments such as guitar and bass.
