Features Pt. 1
The Harrison 32C console is one of the most famous, highly regarded recording
and mixing consoles of all time. It was used on Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”,
Paul Simon’s “Graceland” and other recordings by Janet Jackson, AC/DC, Led
Zeppelin, ELO, Genesis, Blondie and Supertramp to name just a few. The very
same, extremely high-grade preamps that existed within the 32C consoles
feature in the ‘32Ci Analog Mic Preamp with Audio Interface’, a co-branded
collaboration between iCON Pro Audio and Harrison – a significant development
in the world of audio interfaces.
The 32Ci comes packed with features, geared towards the high end user.
With pre-amps of such distinction from the legendary Harrison 32C consoles,
you would expect equally super high-end Digital to Audio and Audio to Digital
convertors (DA/AD) – and that’s exactly what you get.
The 32Ci outperforms or matches similar, high end devices in its class with
129 dB Digital to Audio dynamic range and 120dB THD+N, (total harmonic
dist noise).The 32Ci also delivers excellent audio to digital conversion,
namely 125 dB dynamic range and -117 dB THD+N, . This provides the 32Ci
with an expansive, natural sound that effortlessly challenges dedicated high-end
converters.
Two ‘headphones out’ sockets makes it easy for collaborators, when recording in
a session. No need for headphone ‘splitters’ when say, a guitarist and a vocalist
are working together or maybe an engineer and a vocalist – simply plug in and
your headphone monitoring is covered. Each can even have their own separate
headphone mix, (depending on your DAW software).
The 32Ci Analog Mic Preamp with Audio Interface also offers the user optical I/O
with ADAT as well as two Neutrik ® Combo XLR Mic/Line In Connectors, which
combine an XLR connection and a 1/4" phone jack in one housing as well as two
separate 1/4” Line Inputs. Combined with four 1/4” outputs, the 32Ci gives you
plenty of scope to manage your I/O needs.
MIDI in/out ports allow you to connect MIDI devices directly via the 32Ci and the
USB C Instant Live Streaming connector port allows the user to directly connect
to internet streaming services. If you are a producer, engineer or artist who
broadcasts to the internet, you can do this with pristine audio quality via the 32Ci.
