if interested.The Joemeek sixQ packs a wealth of features into a single rack area studio channel.A single channel mic pre, based on our high quality Burr-Brown IC, 3 bands of highly musical EQ, and our signature optical compressor produce a highly capable recording instrument. With a front panel instrument inputOutput either analog or digitally directly to your sound card or DAW for a warm, musical analog sound - just exactly what you've been looking for!SixQ SpecificationsInput impedances: Mic: 1.2 kohm; Line: 20kohmPre-amp total gain:10 dB to 60dB (variable)Common mode rejection:70 dBEquivalent input noise: -128.5 dBu (unweighted)Distortion:0.001 % (below Compressor limit)Frequency response:15 Hz to 70kHz (-3 dB)Maximum input prior to clipping: Mic: +21 dBu; Line: +45 dBuHeadroom prior to clipping: +21 dBuCompressor limit:? dBu to -20 dBu (variable)Compressor ratio:1:1 to 10:1 (variable)Compressor attack time:1 msec to 100 msec (adaptive)Compressor release time:0.1 sec to 3 sec (adaptive)Nominal output levels: +4 dBu/ -10 dBvOutput impedance:75 ohmOutput Level switch:12 dB attenuationNoise Floor: -85 dBu (common, with ~ 40dB mic gain)VU Meter: Analogue movementPower supply:115 V/ 230V ac mains, 50/60HzPower usage:30 WMechanical:482 W x 88H x 220D (overall)Weight:3 kilosHigh Pass Filter:12 dB per octave cut below 80HzEQ Boost & & Cut:+/ -15 dB (zero phase-shift bell response)LF Frequency:40 Hz to 650Hz variableMid Frequency:300 Hz to 5kHz variableHMF Frequency:1 kHz to 6kHz variableHF Frequency:6 kHz/12kHz switchableEQ "Q"0.9 (1.6 octavesDigital Output SpecificationsSampling:24 BitResolution:24-bit delta sigma using Wolfson WM8738 ADCSampling Rate:44.1 kHz, 48kHz, 88.2 kHz or 96kHz selectableOutput Formats: S/PDIF electricalOversampling: This is [sample frequency divided by twice the bandwidth] So for a 20kHz bandwidth sampled at 96kHz, oversampling = 2.4 x.However the term oversampling is sometimes confused with [ clock frequency divided by sample rate] In the DB-1 that would be 256x at 96kHzNoise Floor: usually 92dB A-weighted (referenced to 0dBFS = +18 dBu). So for a +4 dBu signal, the SNR is 78dBDistortion: usually 0.01 % @ 0dBu (20Hz - 20kHz) at 96kHz sample ratetypically 0.02 % @ 0dBu (20Hz - 20kHz) at 48kHz sample ratetypically 0.02 % @ -1 dBFS (20Hz - 20kHz) at all sample ratesCrosstalk: usually -67 dB (20Hz - 20kHz).
