The high-resolution screens keep you focused on the sound of your mix. Intuitive and efficient, Channel and Fader let you go deeper into your creative process. And enjoy it!
World-class console sound.
Console 1 Mixing System gives you world-renowned console sounds because that’s what we do: give you exacting models of professional-grade, standard-setting gear — from Solid State Logic and Tube-Tech to Chandler Limited. You can load Summit Audio Grand Channel, Weiss Gambit Series, or our extremely punchy Empirical Labs strip. And Console 1 Channel comes with our take on the perfect channel strip: our Core Mixing Suite software.
World-class console feel.
Anodized aluminum, Nordic Night Sky finish, and a robust build. With its premium materials, Console 1 Mixing System outshines all others in its class. But Channel and Fader are more than just studio bling. Every rotation of Channel’s touch-sensitive Analog Feel™ potentiometers and every push of the 100 mm Analog Feel™ faders with capacitive touch and haptic feedback give you the sensation of the priciest outboard gear. They feel analog because they are.
A perfect fit for your DAW.
Just plug it in and Console 1 Channel works with all major DAWs. Without mapping.
Console 1 is compatible with Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, LUNA, Reaper, FL Studio, Nuendo, Bitwig Studio and Cakewalk, and gives you the deepest control of any third-party hardware when using Pro Tools. Learn more.
A perfect fit for your studio.
A studio is as individual as the music makers who call it home. Console 1 Channel is built to fit your studio – no matter the setup.
Console 1 for everyone.
Our TEC Award-nominated Console 1 Accessibility Features give all creators access to the Console 1 Mixing System. With Console 1 Channel Mk III, the features are even more intuitive.
That's because Channel's touch-sensitive potentiometers give visually impaired producers the info they need at the touch of a knob. Learn more about Console 1 Accessibility.
