Description

The Quagliardi Pro Audio QUAG-CHSTRP is a complete analog channel strip bundle for professional studios and advanced home studios. It combines a 501+ microphone preamp, 576 FET compressor, and 523 ParaShelving EQ in a rugged three-slot PowerGrid Trio chassis for recording and mixing applications.

The preamp provides transparent low-to-mid gain with warm coloration when driven into saturation, while the compressor delivers 1176-inspired FET dynamics with parallel compression and stereo linking. Two adjustable EQ bands operate in parametric or shelving modes, with True Bypass and BLUE harmonic coloration, while chassis-level Ground Lift and Feed functions support flexible signal routing and integration.

Features

Transparent or Saturated Preamp Tone
The 501+ provides a transparent response at low and medium gain, with warm coloration available when driven into saturation.

1176-Inspired FET Compression
The 576 uses BF245 transistors and a hybrid design to provide assertive dynamics control for tracking and mixing.

Parallel Compression

Parametric and Shelving EQ
The 523 provides two fully adjustable bands that can operate in parametric or shelving modes.

BLUE Coloration Circuit
The EQ includes a switchable BLUE function that adds harmonic color and punch to the signal.

Flexible Signal Routing
