The first review of an SPL product published this year was made by Holger Obst from German music production website ReleaseTime.de, who decided to test our GainStation 1. He not only writes about the basics like control elements and audio quality, but also dwells on the external characteristics, finish and connections of the unit. Do you want to know how our one-channel microphone and instrument preaamp performed?
Holger Obst from ReleaseTime.de has tested quite some SPL products in the past and is well-known for always delivering very detailed reviews. This time he decided to dig into the depths of our Track One… Here are some of his thoughts:
“The Track One —the smallest of SPL’s three channel strips— makes a good impression and also benefits from the same technology as its more expensive counterparts. It provides an exceptional sound quality, sounds strikingly musical and is remarkably well-built, which makes it perfectly apt for many years of hard work live.”
Holger Obst reviewed the SPL Kultube for German music production website ReleaseTime.de. He took the time to put to the test all its functions and included a good number of sound samples in the review. The results of this exhaustive test couldn’t be clearer:
“Considering its solid construction and ease of use, the Kultube offers an outstanding audio quality. [...] When it comes to sound fidelity and resolution the Kultube easily outmatches any plug-in; and if you add the adjustable tube saturation, it is unbeatable. You simply cannot get an emulation that sounds this good.”
