Heritage Audio’s BritStrip console channel strip combines a 73-mic preamplifier, an expanded 73 equalizer and a discrete Class-A DI (Direct Input) with the diode bridge compressor found in the European pro-audio manufacturer’s multi-award-nominated Successor stereo bus compressor. The BritStrip features the same preamp found in Heritage Audio’s 73JR II and is flavored with a new custom input transformer co-designed with British company Carnhill, also responsible for the custom output transformer that completes its all-discrete, Class-A, three-gain stage design. Flexible features include -80dB of gain, a 20dB PAD, phase reversal and an impedance switch for 1,200 or 300 ohm input.
