Key Features
High Performance Design – The 32Classic incorporates key high quality design criteria. Double sided PCB’s, manual PCB layout techniques providing specific trace placement and robust ground plane design, gold plated switches, conductive plastic potentiometers, and summing buses carried via PCB’s (no ribbon cable summing buses) all combine to provide the highest performance possible in analog console design.
Mono Mic/Line Channels – 32 Mono Mic/Line Channels are included in each standard configuration (custom configurations available upon request) offering a high-performance Harrison mic-preamplifier, and Harrison's acclaimed 32C four band parametric EQ with variable HP and LP filters.
DAW Compatible Frame - The 32Classic frame design is rugged and unique. It is specifically designed to solve some of the more basic yet troubling ergonomic issues in today’s studio environment. “Where do I put my keyboard and mouse or trackball?” and “Where do I put my computer monitor/s?” The 32Classic solves those issues by providing a 2-tiered front bolster which is wide and deep enough to comfortably locate your DAW keyboard and mouse/trackball (with sufficient cable access), along with your cell phone, laptop, tablet etc. A generous “rear shelf” design is provided that is ideal for locating various TFT monitor/s and/or small near-field speakers.
Configurations - The 32Classic is available in 2 configurations featuring 32 and 48 channel configurations. Custom configurations are available upon request.
Flexibility Matters
The 32Classic provides a flexible busing and routing architecture. Each channel can route to any of 8 Bus master channels that can be used in mono or stereo configuration, any of 5 Auxiliary buses (4 mono and 1 stereo) or directly to the Main Mix stereo bus with transformers. The 32Classic also incorporates an "In-Line" record status mode which allows the input source signal to feed directly to a DAW with a separate "Playback" path for monitoring and for feeding headphones and/or studio monitors via a flexible alternate output matrix. All external routing is accomplished via Harrison's large format Dante / AD DA interface system included with the 32Classic console making recording, patching and studio routing a breeze.
