World-class console sound

Console 1 Channel gives you world-renowned console sounds because that’s what we do: give you exacting models of professional-grade, standard-setting gear — from Solid State Logic and Tube-Tech to Chandler Limited. You can load Summit Audio Grand Channel, Weiss Gambit Series, or our extremely punchy Empirical Labs strip. Channel comes with our take on the perfect channel strip: our new Core Mixing Suite software.

World-class console feel

Console 1 Channel will be the sexiest gear your desk has seen in a while. The premium materials, stunning Nordic Night Sky finish, and robust build mean that it outshines all others in its class. But Channel is more than just studio bling. Every rotation of Channel’s touch-sensitive Analog Feel™ potentiometers – and an increase of more than ten times the resolution over our previous generation – gives you the sensation of the priciest outboard gear. They feel analog because they are.

It gives you the award-winning sounds of Tape, FET Compressor Mk II, and Bus Processor in the versatile preamp, shape, equalization, and compression sections.

For professional DJs and music producers who demand precision, control, and efficiency in their mixing workflow, the Softube Console 1 Fader Mk III offers an unparalleled solution. This advanced mixing control surface is designed to elevate your audio production experience by combining tactile control with cutting-edge software integration. If you are seeking to enhance your mixing accuracy and speed while maintaining the highest sound quality, this device is engineered to meet and exceed those needs.

One of the standout features of the Console 1 Fader Mk III is its suite of ten motorized 100 mm faders. Unlike traditional non-motorized faders, these motorized controls automatically adjust to the settings of your digital audio workstation (DAW), ensuring that what you see on the surface precisely matches your session. This synchronization eliminates the frustration of manual recalibration and allows for seamless automation recording and playback, saving you valuable time during mix sessions. The 100 mm length of the faders provides a wide, smooth range of motion, enabling fine volume adjustments that can make a significant difference in the balance and dynamics of your mix.

Complementing the tactile faders are ten high-resolution screens, each dedicated to providing detailed visual feedback for each channel. These 10 x high-resolution displays show parameters such as track names, levels, and plugin settings directly on the control surface. This immediate visual information means you no longer need to rely solely on your computer screen, allowing you to focus more on your hands-on mixing and less on shifting your gaze between multiple windows. This design improves workflow efficiency and reduces eye strain during long sessions.

The Console 1 Fader Mk III connects to your computer via USB and includes two USB-C ports, providing modern, fast, and reliable connectivity. The device is USB bus powered, which means no additional power supply is necessary—simply connect it to your laptop or desktop, and you’re ready to go. This feature adds portability and convenience, especially for DJs and producers working in different studios or live environments. Weighing only 4.6 pounds and measuring 17.1 inches wide, 8.66 inches deep, and just 1.77 inches high, the Console 1 Fader Mk III is compact and lightweight enough to fit comfortably on most studio desks or DJ setups without taking up excessive space.

Included with the hardware is Softube’s Console 1 Core Mixing Suite software, a powerful companion that integrates tightly with the hardware to provide intuitive control over your mixing process. This software suite offers a range of mixing tools and effects that are optimized for the Console 1’s physical controls, turning your mixing surface into a centralized hub for all your channel strip adjustments. The synergy between hardware and software ensures that every knob turn and fader movement results in precise, real-time changes, improving the quality and speed of your mixes.

Whether you’re mixing a complex multi-track session in the studio or performing a live DJ set that requires quick, hands-on control over multiple channels, the Console 1 Fader Mk III is built to deliver professional-grade results. Its combination of motorized faders, high-resolution screens, and seamless software integration empowers you to work faster and more creatively, with less distraction and more confidence.
