A defining feature of classic Harrison recordings is the high-performance transformer-coupled microphone preamp. The 32Classic MS mic preamp offers up to 70 dB of gain, providing “a full low-end, open mid-range, and super-smooth natural highs”, thanks to the Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer used.
The transformer’s gentle roll-off at each end of the frequency spectrum and delicate phase shift results in a remarkably sweet and musical sound, making it ideal for virtually any source material.
The 32Classic MS also brings the iconic 4-band parametric EQ from the original console to a 19” rack format for the first time. This is accompanied by High- and Low Pass filters that offer a musical 12 dB/octave slope. The High Pass Filter, ranging from 25 Hz to 3.1 kHz, includes a 3 dB resonant peak, while the Low Pass Filter spans 160 Hz to 20 kHz—ideal for eliminating rumble or smoothing high frequencies.
Connectivity wise, you’ve got dedicated Mic and Line XLR inputs on the rear panel and a front-panel input with selectable Instrument/Hi-Z and Mic options. The mic input features utilities such as 48V phantom power, a -20 dB pad, phase flip, and a tri-color LED meter. There are also independent gain controls on both the Mic and Line inputs for precise adjustments.
Output signals can be balanced using the Fader control and Pan controls, or you can engage the 0 dB Fader Bypass and record at unity gain.
Finally, the 32Classic MS is equipped with an integrated mix bus, allowing you to chain multiple units together. You can build your very own modular Harrison stereo summing mixer, ideal as a studio centerpiece or for enhancing any mixing and/or tracking workflow as a “sidecar” to any existing setup.
32Classic Mix Strip is priced at $1999/£1499.00+VAT/€1700.
