Overall, the LA 610 is worth every single penny if you can afford it. If you look around online you can get it in a package with a mic too. That’s probably the best deal instead of just paying that much just for the channel strip itself you mine as well get a mic too. The Universal Audio LA 610 is great and versatile. You will have no complaint...
I've been using the 1073 for about a year now. The thing I like most about it is that it is a compact channel strip that I can use over and over again for my overdubs. I haven't had any complaints, although I wish there were some 1/4'' connections in addition to the XLRs. If I lost it or broke it I would definitely buy a new one. Being that I w...

While the API Audio 550A does come with an extraordinary price tag, for those looking for an incredible channel strip for their studio regardless of the price, Everest will work for you. I don't own one of these myself as I don't have the budget for a top end piece of gear like this, but I've used it enough in a professional studio that it keep...
I've been using the LA610 for about 6 months. The thing I like most about it is that it is a compact channel strip that I can use over and over again for my overdubs. I haven't had any complaints, although I wish there were some 1/4'' connections in addition to the XLRs. I've used all sorts of other Summit products (LA-2a, 1176, LA-3a, etc) and ...
The AMS-Neve 8801 is definitely worth looking into for anyone interested in an all in one channel strip with that classic Neve tone. It's perfect for home studio owners looking to get the best of all worlds with a top flight preamp, compressor and EQ all in the same spot. The price is certainly a lot, which is really the only bad part, but of ...
I was reminded at the absolutely stellar quality of Neve pre-amps when I used this, but I also found quite a treat in the EQ and filters on this thing as well. I don't think I'll get to use one again until I go back to the studio that has the console, but I plan on doing that as soon as I get involved with a project that has the budget for it. I...
Summit Audio has an outstanding line of gear to offer, with the MPE-200 being one of their finest products. Of course it's going to cost you an arm and a leg to get one, and to be honest I'm not really sure that it's worth the price. Having said this, I use one at the studio where I work, so I don't have to pay at all for it. It's basically t...
You'll find incarnations of Neve 1073's all over the place, as there are many many clones built nowadays, but finding an original is somewhat hard. If you could find one to purchase, it would definitely cost a good amount of money plus you'd have to get a casing and power supply for it if you were going to use it outside of a console. Luckily ...
It doesn't seem like they're making the TL Audio 3051 vocal processing channel strip any longer, but it's definitely still a relevant piece of gear in my eyes. It would be great in either a home or professional studio setting, but probably fits in best in a home studio where someone would be doing a lot of vocal overdubs. The 3051 is a very cl...
