The H2 Audio Helios 0011/Stereo - Black captures the iconic tone and musicality of vintage Helios gear in a dual-channel rackmount format. Housed in a rugged 2U steel chassis, this unit features two complete Helios 0011 channel strips, combining the classic 2128 mic preamp circuit with the revered inductor-based EQ section-all carefully engineered to stay true to the legendary British console sound that defined countless classic recordings.
Each channel offers 70dB of gain in 5dB steps, a balanced line input, a Lustraphone input transformer, and the signature Helios EQ with selectable low and mid frequencies, fixed 10kHz high frequency, and switchable high-pass filters at 40Hz and 80Hz. With a newly added output amplifier and transformer, this version resolves a common limitation of vintage Helios units, driving 600-ohm loads with up to 25dB before clipping. Whether for vocals, instruments, or stereo mixes, this stereo channel strip delivers rich harmonic detail and punchy analog character, perfect for serious tracking and mixing setups.
