The Joemeek sixQ packs a wealth of features into a single rack space studio channel.
A single channel mic pre, based on our high quality Burr-Brown IC, three bands of highly musical EQ, and our signature optical compressor make for a highly capable recording instrument. With a front panel instrument input
Output either analog or digitally directly to your sound card or DAW for a warm, musical analog sound - just what you've been looking for! SixQ Specifications

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. 44.1kHz is the standard used for audio CD's, while 48kHz and 96kHz are widely used in recording studios. In general, the higher the sample rate, the better the audio fidelity, but the more disk space is required for the recording. For example, recording at 96kHz requires twice as much storage as 48kHz. Consult the manual of your recorder or DAW as to what sample rates it will accommodate.
