Boasting the same design as the 32Classic console, 32Classic MS features premium Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer-coupled microphone preamp, characterful Harrison LP/HP filters with 3 dB resonant peak, and super-smooth 4-band parametric EQ.
The 32Classic MS includes a versatile input section, featuring dedicated Mic and Line XLR inputs on the rear panel. For added convenience, it also offers a front-panel input with selectable Instrument/Hi-Z and Mic options. The mic input is equipped with essential utilities such as 48V phantom power, a -20 dB pad, phase flip, and a tri-color LED meter. Both the Mic and Line inputs have independent gain controls, ensuring precise adjustments and superior performance across both inputs. Whether you’re recording, producing, or mixing, the 32Classic MS provides the connectivity you need to maximize your session.
A defining feature of classic Harrison recordings is the high-performance transformer-coupled microphone preamp. True to its heritage, the 32Classic MS mic preamp offers 70 dB of clean gain to deliver and the warm, rich tone that Harrison is famous for. Expect full low-end, open mid-range, and super-smooth natural highs, thanks to the Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer. The transformer’s gentle roll-off at each end of the frequency spectrum and delicate phase shift creates a remarkably sweet and musical sound, making it ideal for virtually any source material.
As featured in the original 3232 and the latest 32Classic console, 32Classic MS’s Low Pass and High Pass filters offer a musical 12 dB/octave slope. The High Pass Filter, ranging from 25 Hz to 3.1 kHz, includes a characterful 3 dB resonant peak, while the Low Pass Filter spans 160 Hz to 20 kHz—ideal for eliminating rumble or smoothing high frequencies.
The 32Classic MS brings the iconic 4-band parametric EQ from the 32Classic console to a 19” rack format for the first time. Originally crafted in the 1970s – an era where you had to just get it ‘right’ on the way in – its frequency bands and proportional Q design were painstakingly developed to offer both broad, musical curves and precise sculpting to get the best from any source material or recording scenario.
