SPL Audio Track One MK3

This channel strip provides consistently superior sound

The ever-popular SPL Track One MK3 channel strip, now in its third version, has been completely revised with increased specifications and a more straightforward design optimized for today’s recording studios. Track One MK3 consistently offers outstanding sonics, improving vocals and instruments from any source, whether mic, line, or DI. The excellent mic preamp gives enough of a boost for your microphones and instruments, and SPL’s renowned De-Esser is included to control sibilant voices. The SPL Track One MK3 channel strip allows you to optimize your dynamics with the compressor/limiter and sweeten your tone with the 3-band EQ, resulting in radio-ready sound.

Your option for quick, high-quality recordings

We speak with many artists at who need to be able to generate excellent recordings rapidly – guitarists and bassists for hire, engineers doing radio ads, and so on. The SPL Track One MK3 channel strip is unique in that it allows you to quickly tune in outstanding sound from almost any source. The built-in processing is ideal for adding extra studio polish without the need to patch in other processors or route audio through plug-ins.

Capture better voices with the built-in De-Esser

The SPL De-Esser is regarded as a vital instrument in many studios, and it is included directly in the SPL Track One MK3 channel strip. It is noted for reducing harsh sibilance from vocalists in a natural, melodic manner, producing transparent results even in severe settings. The SPL De-Esser’s automated threshold-adjusting capability is extremely beneficial. It adjusts for a singer’s shifting distance from the mic by applying de-using even when the signal is lower so that compressing afterward does not pull lower sibilants back up to level.

Compressor/Limiter regulates dynamics and gives character

The Track One’s compressor/limiter is a basic one-knob design that uses temporal constants (including attack and release) that are automatically adjusted to the input signal, enabling simple set-and-forget operation. Pressing the Limiter button activates the compressor’s limiter mode, with the compression knob controlling the threshold. Like the compressor, SPL’s soft limiter is subtle and produces consistent, highly melodic effects. A separate makeup gain knob is included to ensure optimum gain structure in your signal chain.

Combine the two for stereo-functioning

For optimum studio versatility, get two SPL Track One MK3 channel strips and connect them for stereo compression. You’ll be able to record stunningly wide stereo recordings and achieve real stereo compression with just one set of parameters. Best of all, the EQs will remain separate, allowing you to fine-tune the stereo image by selecting slightly different EQ values for each side.

Whether you’re a studio engineer, musician, or content creator, this device ensures your audio signals are captured and reproduced with exceptional clarity and minimal noise, allowing you to focus on creativity without technical distractions.

The core strength of the Track One MK3 lies in its meticulously engineered internal linear power supply, featuring a shielded toroidal transformer. This design significantly reduces electromagnetic interference and power-related noise, which translates to cleaner analog audio signals. For the user, this means your recordings maintain their integrity, free from hum or unwanted artifacts that can degrade audio quality. Additionally, the selectable mains voltage options (230 V AC / 50 Hz or 115 V AC / 60 Hz) make this interface versatile for use in various geographic locations without the need for external converters, ensuring consistent performance wherever your studio is located.

In terms of audio input and output capabilities, the Track One MK3 offers impressive specifications tailored to professional use. With maximum input gains of 28 dBu for line-level signals and 12 dBu for instrument-level inputs, you can confidently connect a wide range of devices, from synthesizers to guitars, while maintaining optimal signal strength and clarity. The input impedance of 12 kΩ for line inputs and a high 1 MΩ for instrument inputs ensures that your gear interacts with the interface in a way that preserves tonal nuances and dynamics, crucial for both recording and mixing. The low output impedance of 50 Ω supports stable connections to a variety of monitoring and processing equipment, maintaining signal fidelity throughout your signal chain.

Another critical aspect of the Track One MK3 is its wide frequency response, spanning from 10 Hz to 180 kHz at -3 dB. This extended range goes well beyond the standard audible spectrum, which means it captures ultra-high frequencies with precision, preserving the full harmonic content of your sound sources. This level of detail is invaluable when working with high-resolution audio formats or when subtle sonic characteristics are paramount. Additionally, the device’s exceptionally low noise floor, with A-weighted noise levels reaching as low as -97.5 dBu at 20 dB gain, ensures that even the quietest signals are captured without intrusive hiss or background noise, allowing for cleaner mixes and more dynamic recordings.

Practical considerations such as power consumption, which maxes out at 20 W, demonstrate that the Track One MK3 is efficient and suitable for both home studios and professional environments without imposing excessive electrical load. Fuse ratings tailored to the selected mains voltage (T 315 mA for 230 V and T 630 mA for 115 V) provide additional safety and durability, protecting your investment against power surges or electrical faults.

Whether you are tracking vocals, recording instruments, or integrating analog outboard gear into your digital workflow, the SPL Audio Track One MK3 delivers the precision and reliability that serious audio professionals require.
