If you're looking for a channel strip that's both affordable and powerful, the Rupert Neve Designs Shelford is a game-changer. This channel strip incorporates some of Rupert Neve's most beloved staples alongside new features that make it a standout in the audio world.

At the heart of the Shelford is a brand new transformer-gain, class-A microphone preamp, designed with transparency and musicality in mind. But that's not all. The Shelford also boasts the inductor EQ section from the 5052, known for its smooth sound and excellent musicality. And let's not forget about the diode bridge compressor, which provides the dynamic control you need without sacrificing the integrity of your sound.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Rupert Neve Designs product without Silk saturation circuitry, and the Shelford delivers on that front as well. This feature adds harmonics and texture to your sound, giving it a vintage vibe that's hard to resist.

But what really sets the Shelford apart is its dual-tap transformer output stage. This feature provides exceptional isolation and exceptionally smooth low and high frequencies, all while keeping noise levels low.

The Shelford also features a sweepable high-pass filter (20-250Hz), 48V Phantom Power, and polarity reverse, making it incredibly versatile and user-friendly. Whether you're recording vocals, acoustic guitar, or anything in between, the Shelford is sure to impress.

In short, the Rupert Neve Designs Shelford channel strip is a must-have for any audio professional who values high-quality sound and versatility. With its combination of classic Neve features and new innovations, the Shelford is a channel strip that you won't want to live without.
