H2 Audio could not be more excited about the release of The Helios Channel. With the rise of home recording and hybrid recording methods we have created The Helios Channel, featuring the classic 0011 mic pre/EQ and the H760 compressor limiter, all in a rugged steel 2U 19" rack to give you the ultimate classic recording chain. The Helios channel also features the Acme Audio Motown DI's custom input transformer for its DI input. This transformer is electronically switched directly to the 0011's mic-in connector when activated by a selector switch on the front panel. Also featured is 48V phantom power, output fader control and Link/Ind switch which allows The Helios Channel to be operated as a channel strip or as independent units complete with separate input and output connectors on the rear of the unit. The Helios Channel is powered by the same external PSU as the 0011, and 8-channel rack and up to 4 units can be used off of one supply.
