Product Details

The most critical aspect of the recording process is arguably the audio-signal path from the source to the final destination. The better the components composing that path, the better the final results.

One such pathway is Joemeek's Pro Channel VC3Q. This diminutive voice processor consists of a microphone preamp, an optical compressor, and three bands of fixed EQ, all tidily ensconced in a half-rack box. In size and appearance it is strikingly similar to the Joemeek C2 stereo compressor (reviewed in the September 1999 issue of EM).

One glance at the Pro Channel VC3Q immediately tells you its lineage: the face-plate is the telltale green color of all things Joemeek. A red LED on the left indicates phantom power on/off status. Next is the Input Gain control for the mic preamp or line input. Then comes the photo-optical compressor, with Compression, Attack, and Release knobs and a small red Compressor On button. Beside the compressor is the EQ section (or "Meequalizer," in Joemeek-speak), with Low, Mid, and High frequency knobs. As with the compressor section, a red button toggles the EQ on and off. On the far right of the faceplate, the Output Volume control regulates the VC3Q's output.
