Description

Does a signal source sound “musty”? and non-dynamic, attempts are often made to improve them with EQs, compressors and other effects - however, on a digital level this can become a time-consuming process without really achieving the desired sound level. So it's more important than ever to ensure the best possible recording quality.

The GainStation 1 uses technologies that not only make our measuring devices happy, but also the musician. Components and circuits are used throughout that have proven to be optimal after intensive listening tests.

In addition to the extremely convenient option of freely placing it outside of a rack, the compact design offers several advantages, e.g. B. the direct accessibility of the inputs and outputs or the easy placement in the immediate vicinity of the microphone. Instrumentalists can also place the GainStation 1 directly on the rack/amplifier. Cable routes can be kept as short as possible and high-quality cables don't have to be purchased by the kilometer.

Key features of GainStation 1 preamp technology:

- Discreetly designed operational amplifiers in Class A technology instead of industrial universal ORs. The GainStation OPs work with a voltage of 60 V (usually around 30 V) and therefore offer a correspondingly high dynamic range.
- Amplifier slew rate of 200 V/microseconds. A very high value that transmits particularly high-frequency signal components cleanly and without edge clipping.
- A largely DC-coupled signal flow in order to avoid the need for capacitors that distort the sound.
- An optimized layout ensures the shortest signal paths, large ground surfaces ensure a low impedance level and good shielding effect
- All switching functions are carried out via encapsulated relays with gold-plated contacts
- Resistors selected after listening comparisons with 0.1% tolerance in the complete audio path
- Very complex power supply with double shielding, each voltage has its own winding and regulation. The power supply is the basis of good sound quality and its importance cannot be overestimated.
- Only high-quality MKP film capacitors work in the tube stage, which achieve a clear and dynamic sound.

Due to the high level of technological effort, signals recorded with the GainStation1 are easier to hear in the mix, have more contour and can also cut through very well when mixed quietly. Even very low tones and frequencies receive clear intonation. The rhythm of an instrument is much easier to recognize, especially for the musician, or in other words: you are immediately in the groove.

Uses e.g. For example, if a bass player uses the GainStation 1 as a preamplifier, he will notice as soon as he is recording that he perceives himself better and will therefore achieve a better recording. The recording has significantly more pressure and dynamics, the signal “releases”. from the speakers effortlessly, small details are better perceived - in short: the instrument has a very high level of authenticity. When testing the GainStation 1, all of the musicians found that they enjoyed playing more - sometimes they were genuinely amazed at what they could get out of the familiar instrument.

In most cases, the equalizer and compressor interventions will be considerably more moderate, and often you will even forego them completely - this can save an enormous amount of time and computing power and in any case sounds significantly better than a subsequent correction.

With the GainStation 1 it is also possible to influence the sound of the signal during recording. First of all, the tube stage should be mentioned, which can either be switched off completely or used continuously for pre-amplification. Subtle to clear effects using tube saturation are directly available.
The built-in limiter can be used to protect a downstream AD converter, or to make drums sound more powerful, for example. Subsequent compression work can be significantly less and is often no longer necessary.
For all the reasons mentioned, the more instruments recorded in the production with the GainStation 1, the clearer the entire mix will be and significantly less time will be needed to get a good mix.
