Monheim Channel Strip

The Monheim Channel Strip is a versatile, all-tube tracking and mix tool designed to deliver serious tonal flexibility without unnecessary complexity. Built to handle everything from clean mic-level tracking to aggressive line-level processing, it brings rich harmonic depth, clarity, and control to vocals, drums, guitars, strings, and even mix bus duties. Whether shaping sources on the way in or breathing life back into flat, lifeless material, the Channel Strip is engineered to be a true everyday studio workhorse.

At its core is a high-fidelity tube preamp and EQ section paired with variable transformer saturation, allowing engineers to move seamlessly from pristine transparency to bold, character-driven tone. Crisp bandpass filters, a musically voiced “Motown-inspired” tube EQ, and flexible mid-Pultec-style or Air Band options make it easy to sculpt sources with precision while preserving phase integrity. With fully bypassable gain stages and dedicated input and output transformers, the Monheim Channel Strip adapts effortlessly to both modern and vintage-inspired workflows.
