Encapsulating the sonic excellence and features of the legendary Solid-State Logic 4000 series consoles of the '80s in a 1 RU form factor, the Revival 4000 is an all-analog channel strip featuring a Jensen transformer-balanced mic pre, a B series de-esser, a discrete VCA dynamics section, and iconic 4-band parametric EQ. With flexible routing, this channel strip offers striking versatility.
Starting at the mic pre section, the Jensen transformer of the mic preamp provides a rich sound and pristine clarity. The de-esser section provides a 10:1 ratio and helps to tame harsh sibilance on a wide range of sound sources. The Dynamics section, derived from the E series consoles, offers smooth, Class-A VCA dynamics/gate functionality with soft-knee, fast attack, and linear release functions, along with typical threshold, release, ratio, and range controls, plus a 5-segment gain-reduction meter. The 4-band EQ section features the option to switch between the classic E series Brown Knob or the Black Knob based on the 242 EQ. This section provides parametric EQ control over low, low-mid, high-mid, and high frequencies, adjustable Q, and the option to engage a fixed-Q bell curve for the high and low bands. You can use the Route section to place the Dynamics and De-Esser sections post EQ, to activate external side-chain triggering or stereo side-chain linking to a second Revival 4000 series unit. Finally, the master control section provides ±20 dB of output volume control, insert control, and the ability to switch the source used for the 5-segment master LED meter.
