Important Safety Instructions

Please read all of these instructions and save them for future

reference. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on

the unit.

• Do not obstruct air vents in the rear panel. Do not

insert objects through any apertures. Ensure adequate

ventilation at all times.

• Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.

• Unplug the unit before cleaning. Clean with a damp

cloth only. Do not spill liquid on the unit.

• Unplug the unit and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions: if the power

cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the unit; if

the unit has been dropped or the case damaged; if the

unit does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct

change in performance. Adjust only those controls that

are covered by the operating instructions.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarised or

grounding type plug. A polarised plug has two blades

with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug

has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider

blade or the third prong are provided for your safety.

When the plug provided does not fit into your outlet,

consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete

outlet.

This unit is capable of operating over a range of mains

voltages as marked on the rear panel. Ensure correct mains

voltage setting and correct fuse before connecting mains

supply. Do not change mains voltage settings while mains

supply is connected. To avoid the risk of fire, replace the

mains fuse only with the correct value fuse, as marked on

the rear panel. The internal power supply unit contains no

user serviceable parts. Refer all servicing to a qualified

service engineer, through the appropriate Focusrite dealer.

WARNING:

THIS UNIT MUST BE EARTHED BY THE

POWER CORD. UNDER NO

CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MAINS

EARTH BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE

MAINS LEAD.

Power Connections

There is an IEC mains lead supplied with the unit, which

should have the correct moulded plug for your country. The

wiring colour code used is:

For units shipped to the USA, Canada, Taiwan and Japan:

Live Black; Neutral White; Earth Green

For units shipped to any other country:

Live Brown; Neutral Blue; Earth Green & Yellow

Liquid Channel™ Architecture

The Liquid Channel™ is fundamentally different from

any other Focusrite product previously built – and

indeed any other dynamics processor currently

available. Although The Liquid Channel™ is extremely

simple to use, please take a moment to read this

section of the user guide, which gives a brief overview

of the signal path and storage capabilities of the unit.

Overview

The Liquid Channel™ is the first implementation of

Focusrite’s groundbreaking ‘Liquid Technology’. The

Liquid Channel™ transports classic front-end

processing into the digital age, removing the need for

endless patching and adding fluidity and reliability to

the studio environment. Quite simply, The Liquid

Channel™ is capable of being configured to replicate

the finest mic-pres and compressors in history, all

inside a single 192 kHz, 2U device.

This is achieved through a unique two-part process.

Firstly, the use of Dynamic Convolution techniques is

applied, utilising lightning fast SHARC chips applying

unique level-dependent impulse responses to every

sample of audio. However, whilst this is more than

sufficient to closely emulate a compressor’s sonic

behavior, in order to replicate subtle nuances of

classic units, the pre-amplifier must operate in a

suitable physical environment to mirror the way in

which any classic unit interacts with a given

microphone. The Liquid Channel™’s solution to this

problem lies in its vast analogue front-end. The pre-

amp has the ability to change its impedance and vary

its signal path to either transformer or electronic,

replicating the interaction characteristics of the

original, whilst remaining transparent within the signal

path.

The Liquid Channel™ can therefore closely replicate

the sound of the classic mic-pres and compressors

from history. With entirely digital front panel controls,

all parameters can be saved in one of 100 program

memories, meaning that entire session setups can all

be recalled at the touch of a button. A brand new

digital EQ is also available, providing a comprehensive

and truly ‘liquid’ channel strip.

A USB connection on the rear panel links to the

LiquidControl™ software application, enabling the

archiving of both replicas and surplus program

memories, as well as providing full editing and remote

operation of the unit itself. The Liquid Channel™

comes complete with replicas of 40 classic mic-pres

and forty classic compressors but is infinitely

expandable, since the USB port also facilitates the

upload of further replicas downloaded from a

dedicated website – www.focusrite.com.

Finally, to account for variances in amounts of second,

third and fifth order harmonic distortion (usually

perceived as warmth) from one pre-amp to the next, a

dial is included to permit control over this value. This

essential feature ensures satisfaction for even the most

hardcore vintage enthusiast, bringing accurate control

over the key sonic attributes.

Liquid Assets

The Liquid Channel™ ships with 40 pre-amp replicas

and 40 compressor replicas as standard. The free

LiquidControl™ software allows additional replicas

downloaded from www.focusrite.com to be

uploaded to The Liquid Channel™ via USB.

Program memories

The Liquid Channel™ has 100 program memories to

allow storage of preferred pre-amp/compressor/EQ

combinations. These can be saved, archived and

reloaded from a remote computer using

LiquidControl™ via the USB connection. All channel

parameters are stored, offering ‘total recall’ including

mic gain. Using LiquidControl™, a virtually unlimited

number of replicas and programs can be stored on

your PC or Mac and uploaded to The Liquid

Channel™ hardware as required. You can also email

your favourite Liquid Channel™ replicas and program

settings to other users anywhere in the world – the

ultimate in session recall.

Signal Path

The Liquid Channel™ features both analogue (mic and

line) and digital (AES-EBU) inputs, plus analogue (line)

and digital (AES-EBU) outputs. Analogue signals

connected to the mic input are routed through an

analogue mic-pre stage, before passing through an A/D

and entering the digital pre-amp convolution section.

The unique sonic characteristics of the selected pre-

amp replica are then applied to the signal. The signal

then passes through the compressor and EQ sections

(in that order, unless the EQ ‘Pre Comp’ switch has

been engaged – see page 7 for details). This processed

signal then routes to the digital output, and via the

D/A to the analogue output.

Analogue signals connected to the line input follow the

same signal path as above, but bypass the initial mic-

pre stage routing directly to the A/D. The pre-amp

type will be fixed at FLAT trfmr (transformer) whilst

the line input is selected on the front panel. Digital

signals connected to the digital input are routed

directly to the pre-amp convolution section. However

this can be bypassed – see ‘Pre-amp and Compressor

Select’ on page 5 for details.
