For easy operation, there are several high-quality rotary potentiometers and switches on the front panel for setting the desired values and actions. Functions and controls The Track One Mk3 has two separate preamps. One is the microphone preamp with 48 V phantom power, which is activated via the 48 V switch, and the other is an instrument preamp. Both pre-amps are designed for a sound-neutral, open and transparent characteristic so that no unwanted aspects are added to the input signal. The microphone pre-amplification can be adjusted from up to 63 dB via the gain control, allowing even demanding microphones to reveal their full quality. Line signals can be pre-amplified in a range of -12 dB and +22 dB, and instrument signals in a range of 0 dB and +35 dB. The"Line/Inst" function offers the option of processing line signals, such as an analog signal from an audio interface, with the effects of the Track One Mk3 and then recording them again. Also located in the pre-amp section is a high-pass filter with the ability to reduce impact sound with 6dB per octave below 80 Hz. In the de-esser section there is an S-reduction control and an "On" switch for switching the filter on and off. The knob can then be used to reduce disturbing S-sounds on vocal tracks as desired. The S frequencies are detected and mixed with the main signal in a phase-inverted manner, whereby the S frequencies are simply deleted from the main signal and can then no longer be heard or are reduced. If an S-sound is detected, a small LED lights up on the right-hand side of the device. This is only active after switching on the de-esser and works independently of the set reduction value. The Track One Mk3 also features a compressor/limiter section. To activate this, the "On" switch must first be activated. The compression knob is used to set a threshold value between 0dB and -20dB, which is then used as the upper limit for the compression. If a level exceeds this value, the compressor intervenes and regulates this level peak so that it fits within the defined dynamic range. If the level is reduced, this is shown visually in 1.5 dB increments on the gain reduction display, which is located on the far right of the device. The make-up gain control, on the other hand, raises the level...
