JOEMEEK reborn – the legend grows
The Next Generation of Joemeek studio processors represents a quantum
leap in the history of the Joemeek legend. Long regarded for its “Big Sound”,
the original Joemeek gear was both revered and reviled for its somewhat
“quirky” nature. Now we have taken the best of what made the Joemeek
products sound great, refined it, distilled it, added to it and repackaged it.
Properly and robustly engineered for predictable, controllable performance,
the new range retains the famous Joemeek sound, with its wide, flat frequency
response extending from subsonic to ultrasonic. It also uses genuinely low
noise circuitry, with lots of headroom (immunity to overload). Accurate cali-
bration and metering, together with clear panel labelling, give you complete
confidence in what’s going on. While some equipment pays lip-service to
quality and “professional rules” but fails to deliver, the Next Generation
Joemeek products are founded on good solid electronic and audio engineering,
and withstand direct comparison with the very best names in mixers and
outboard gear.
The Joemeek range provides everything you need to get your performance
onto tape/disc.
