Compared to standard console designs, Neos' operational voltage is increased fourfold. More power results in higher overall performance: • more than 30 dB input overload resistance • 125 dB dynamic range, 100 dB S/N ratio
Why is most award-winning audio mixed analog?
Common digital specification is 24 Bit/96 kHz. 24 Bit provides sufficient dynamic resolution, but in mixing, 96 kHz is far from being sufficient on the time scale. A resolution adequate to our hearing capabilities would require sample rates of around 500 kHz. Therefore, those small signal structures carrying spatial and localizational information are lost in digital mixing – while analog equipment overshoots these demands.

TC-Helicon announces three new VoiceTone Single vocal effects pedals: H1, E1 and X1.

VoiceTone H1 joins a growing list of chart-topping vocal effects in the VoiceTone Singles line including VoiceTone T1, C1, D1, E1, X1, and R1. Up to four VoiceTone Singles can be connected together with the Singles Connection Kit to form the ultimate custom vocal processing chain. The kit includes a 12V power supply, 3 x DC daisy-chaining connectors, 3 x short XLR cables.

VoiceTone E1 gives any vocalist simple access to delays and echos used in hit music production. Slapback, Echo, Tap Echo and FX styles can easily be selected and then tuned with the Feedback and Analog controls.

VoiceTone X1 borrows technology from TC-Helicon's infamous Transducer block to emulate the sounds of telephones, distortions and amps to make vocals stand out in a mix.
