HLS Channel

Developed in association with legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer, the HLS Channel was meticulously modeled on a Helios mixing console just like the one he used in historic sessions at London's acclaimed Olympic Studios.

In addition to modeling the Helios EQs with their sweet saturation, high-end presence, and fat low-frequency boost, engineers at Waves even modeled the unique behavior, coloration, and drive of the console's preamps. To top it all off, the HLS Channel features a precision-modeled VU meter that recreates the sensitivity, ballistic behavior, look and feel of the original.

Mercury V7 owners receive HLS Channel at no additional charge.

Controls

• Source Select toggles between Mic and Line levels.
• Preamp determines the amount of preamp coloration.
• High Frequency Gain controls high shelf gain at 10 kHz.
• Mid Gain sets the amount of gain applied to the midrange bell filter.
• Mid Frequency selects frequency for the midrange bell filter.
• Mid Mode selects between boost (PK) and cut (TR).
• Low Band Freq/Cut is used to select the boost frequency, or the amount of attenuation of the 50 Hz low shelf.
• Low Band Boost sets the amount of boost (in dB) for the selected frequency.
• EQ Cut turns the EQ on (in) and off (cut), while maintaining the analog and preamp characteristics.
• Analog controls turns the analog noise and hum modeling on and off, and sets the pitch of the hum to match either European or American currents.
• Noise pads the modeled noise and hum by 20 dB.
• Meter toggles the meter display between input and output monitoring.
• Clip LED lights up when levels exceed 0 dBFS.
• VU Meter displays input or output level in dBVU.
• VU Calibrate controls the VU meter headroom calibration.
• Trim displays the maximum peak level of the output signal and its distance from 0 dBFS.
• Input controls the input level.
• Output controls the output level.
