Harrison Audio 32C Channel Strip

The 32Classic MS is a high-performance, fully analog channel strip that brings the signature sound and processing tools of the flagship Harrison 32Classic console into your studio. Thanks to hybrid workflow features and an integrated stereo mix bus for summing multiple units, the 32Classic MS delivers the sound of legends, while adding innovative functionality to enhance your creative process.

Engineered with the same design as the 32Classic console, the 32Classic MS includes a premium, transformer-coupled Jensen JT-MB-CPCA microphone preamplifier, Harrison LP/HP filters with a 3 dB resonant peak, and an ultra-smooth 4-band parametric EQ. The original 3232 console was used by artists such as Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, and many others to create timeless music that remains among the most highly regarded to this day. Now, for the first time, that unmistakable sound is available in a 19" rack format. Add a recording legend to your studio with the 32Classic MS.

Comprehensive input section

The 32Classic MS offers a versatile input section, with dedicated XLR inputs for microphone and line on the rear panel. For added convenience, it also includes a front panel input with selectable instrument/Hi-Z and microphone options. The microphone input is equipped with essential features such as 48V phantom power, a -20 dB pad, polarity inversion, and a three-color LED meter. The Mic and Line inputs feature independent gain controls, ensuring precise adjustments and excellent performance for every application. Whether you are tracking, producing, or mixing, the 32Classic MS gives you all the connectivity you need to maximize your sessions.

Harrison microphone preamplifier: the sound of legends

A distinctive element of classic Harrison recordings is the high-performance transformer microphone preamplifier. True to its heritage, the 32Classic MS mic preamp delivers 70 dB of clean gain, ensuring the warm and rich tone that made the Harrison brand famous. Expect full lows, open mids, and incredibly natural high frequencies thanks to the Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer. The slight roll-off at the ends of the spectrum and the delicate phase shift of the transformer create a sweet, musical sound that is ideal for any source.

Signature LP/HP filters

As in the original 3232 console and the more recent 32Classic, the low-pass (LP) and high-pass (HP) filters of the 32Classic MS offer a musical 12 dB/octave slope. The high-pass filter, with a range from 25 Hz to 3.1 kHz, includes a 3 dB resonant peak, while the low-pass filter covers a range from 160 Hz to 20 kHz: perfect for eliminating rumble or softening high frequencies.

The true Harrison magic emerges when the filters are used in combination with the EQ section to tighten the low frequencies and emphasize the highs, without ever sounding harsh or aggressive.

32Classic EQ

The 32Classic MS brings the iconic 4-band parametric EQ of the 32Classic console to a 19” rack format for the first time. Created in the 1970s – an era when it was crucial to "get it right" during the recording phase – its frequency bands and proportional-Q design were carefully developed to provide broad musical curves and precise sound sculpting.

Trusted by legendary engineers such as Bruce Swedien and Roger Nichols for its power, and used in renowned studios like The Village and Westlake Studios in Los Angeles and LSI Studios in Nashville, add one of the most sought-after EQs of all time to your arsenal.

Integrated mix bus and hybrid workflow features

Build your Harrison recording and mixing system one channel at a time with the integrated mix bus of the 32Classic MS. Designed to improve workflows and increase recording and mixing capabilities, the mix bus allows you to connect the outputs of multiple units via the rear panel summing connectors and jumper cables. Adjust signals with the Fader control and position them in the stereo panorama. Or, engage the 0 dB Fader Bypass to record at unity gain. Ideal for hybrid workflows, mobile rigs, or recording rooms, the 32Classic MS integrated mix bus offers the iconic Harrison tone with exceptional flexibility.

32Classic MS Sidecar

Enhance your mixing and/or recording workflow by combining multiple 32Classic MS channels to be used as a "sidecar" to your existing setup. Perfect for instrument or drum buses, it adds the characteristic Harrison sound to your sonic palette, offering warmth, depth, and flexibility to any recording or mixing application.
