Analog Elemental Series
The Next Generation Signal Processors
The development of the processors brought with itself the following advances:
• On all three processors that were revised the operating voltage was increased from +/-15
to +/-18 volts. This allows us to enhance the performance of a circuit, considering that the
basis of every circuit is the voltage/performance ratio. Thus, dynamic range, signal-to-
noise ratio and THD can be improved.
• Dual-Band-De-Esser: two bands for more precise and flexible processing.
• DynaMaxx: modifications to allow for the optional fitting of a transformer.
• Transient Designer: additional output level control — an important enhancement to the
device‘s operation which allows for an immediate control of level differences.
Concept and Categories of the Analog Elemental Series
Every Analog Elemental unit combines two modules. Depending on the application, the 13
resulting units can be sorted into three product categories:
• Preamplifiers consisting of two Premium or Preference modules — the outstanding
RackPack Preamps in 1U 19-inch units.
• Channel Strips consisting of preamp and processing modules — perfect front ends with
optimally matched processing for vocals or instruments.
• Processing Units to complement analog outboard equipment.
The Analog Elemental concept makes it possible to build any imaginable configuration with
SPL‘s elemental processing tools. Every module combination results in an exceptional and
unique unit. We have summarized here the most important aspects of the different configura-
tions.
Dual-Channel Preamplifiers
Premium Preamplifiers
It is not easy to make high-quality recordings. An exceptional sonic foundation to work upon
is a must. This can be achieved with microphones and preamps whose impulse response and
transduction capabilities are not limited — just like the SPL Premium Preamps. Created by
SPL founder Wolfgang Neumann, these classic solid-state masterpieces featuring an inte-
grated transformer seduce anybody that lends an ear to them. The two-channel unit resulting
from the combination of two Premium Preamp Modules could withstand comparison to any
product, regardless of their price. Model Number: 1212.
Preference Preamplifiers
Our goal when developing the Preference Preamps was to match professional sound quality
to the highest reliability possible. Our decade-long experience designing and manufacturing
microphone and instrument preamps guarantees the best price-performance ratio. The
results can be heard in all sorts of situations — regardless of whether it is live or in the studio,
the SPL Preference Preamps provide a rock-solid foundation for any production. And they are
also perfectly suited to replace the integrated preamps of audio interfaces and mixers. Model
Number: 1211.
Channel Strips
Premium or Preference Preamp & DynaMaxx
Do you play or have to record instruments often? There are lots of ways to do it, but then
again, it all comes down to the end result. Our way to achieving outstanding results is argu-
ably the shortest one, considering that it consists of only two knobs: „Gain“ (preamplifica-
tion) and „Compression.“ This applies to vocal recordings as well. The high-end alternative to
the Preference/DynaMaxx Combo, Model 1223, is the Premium/DynaMaxx unit, Model 1233.
