The Liquid Channel transports classic front-end processing into the digital age, removing the need for endless patching and adding fluidity and reliability to the studio environment.

Focusrite gives Gearwire the lowdown on its super-deluxe Liquid Channel mic preamp/compressor emulator. Can this thing really deliver all those classic studio sounds in a single box?
The Focusrite Liquid Channel enables you to apply the characteristics of the most iconic and sought-after mic preamps and compressors in the history of music recording. It's been winning awards since we released it in 2003, and for the past two years running, it was voted 'Best Microphone Preamplifier' by readers of Sound On Sound magazine. But we're aware that some people still aren't aware of the power and potential of Liquid Channel, so we decided to put it through the ultimate test: a shootout and blind test; and film the process. We enlisted the help of Guy Massey and Marco Pasquariello at Snap! Studios, London, and Liquid Channel did amazingly well. Check out this documentary of what went down on the day. For more information about the shootout and the blind test, head to the Focusrite website. Special thanks to: Theoretical Girl soundcloud.com Snap!
