An analog channel strip with legendary Joemeek EQ, compression, and a free large-diaphragm condenser mic, specially matched to the preamp.

The Joemeek SixQ is a mic channel strip that packs a wealth of features into a single rack space studio channel. Now the SixQ mic pre includes a perfectly-matched free JM37DP Large Diaphragm microphone!

Joemeek SixQ
This single channel mic pre is based on a high-quality Burr-Brown IC, and has 3 bands of highly musical EQ, Joemeek's signature optical compressor, and a front-panel instrument DI making it a highly capable recording instrument. And, along with an analog output, the SixQ microphone preamp also lets you output digitally—direct to your sound card or DAW.

Digital Interface:
The Joemeek Digital Audio Interface provides high quality digital audio outputs. The digital audio outputs are compatible with most digital recorders, as well as Digital Audio Workstations and mixers. S/PDIF format is available from the optical and RCA phono connectors. The Joemeek Digital Interface has highly stable onboard master clocks for low-jitter, hi-fi results. Internal sample rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz or 96kHz are selected by means of rear panel switches.

JM37-DP
The JM37-DP is a high quality, large diaphragm condenser microphone with Cardioid and Omni patterns. By utilizing FET devices for both preamplifier and output stages, we created a microphone that's destined to be your "go-to" mic for a variety of recording purposes.

The JM37-DP's capsule features classic "center-electrode" design, which provides a very smooth, extended frequency response. The design also employs dynamic feedback at the capacitor element, which further enhances the audio quality by eliminating distortion that may occur at high SPL.

The large 1.035" dual diaphragms are manufactured from micro-fine Mylar with gold sputtering. The body is machined from solid brass, with connection to the outside world via a 3 Pin XLR connector. Power is supplied via Phantom Power from either your console or microphone preamplifier.

An excellent choice for male and female lead vocals, the JM37-DP also excels at recording choir, orchestral and other acoustic instruments.
