The Shelford Channel is built around Rupert Neve's first new transformer gain Class A microphone preamplifier in over 40 years, a "classic best" inductor EQ section ', a tone-rich diode bridge compressor, variable Silk Saturation power, new custom transformer output stage and twice the operating voltage of vintage models.
Like Rupert's designs from his Little Shelford days, the Shelford Channel preamplifier uses a directly coupled transformer input with gain provided by the custom transformer itself – a first in over 40 years for Rupert Neve. This new custom-designed input transformer, along with its careful integration with the surrounding Class A circuitry, is essential to the channel's bold and instantly recognizable character.
Conveniently, the direct input uses the same topology as the best-selling RNDI active transformer direct interface, delivering stunning clarity for high-Z instrument signals, with unrivaled low-frequency response and incredibly smooth high-end . The Shelford Channel's Silk & Texture circuit allows you to fine-tune the amount (and type) of harmonic content in the output stage. This means your signal can be adjusted from very transparent to settings producing almost 10 times more sound color than Rupert's vintage modules – and in two completely unique modes. Whatever sound you're looking for, Silk can help you achieve it.
