Harrison Audio 32Classic 5448 48-Channel In-Line Recording/Mixing Console with Dante

The Harrison Audio 32Classic 5448 48-Channel In-Line Recording/Mixing Console with Dante delivers a hybrid modular architecture, purpose-built to support both traditional analog workflows and modern hybrid studio configurations. At its core lies the unmistakable Harrison sonic signature?refined, musical, and deeply rooted in decades of console-design legacy. This version has a built-in 96x96 full Dante digital interface.

Each of the 48 mono mic/line input channels features the renowned 32C 4-band parametric EQ, offering precise tonal shaping with a musical touch. Fully sweepable high-pass and low-pass filters provide additional control over spectral content. Premium Jensen JT-MB-CPCA input transformers are deployed throughout the signal path, imparting rich harmonic character and dynamic nuance. Vintage-style VU meters offer classic visual feedback. Whether in a legacy tracking room or a cutting-edge hybrid setup, the 32Classic is engineered to be the sonic centerpiece of any high-performance studio.

The 32Classic frame is designed to facilitate use with DAWs. The full-length front armrest is deep enough to accommodate a keyboard and mouse or trackball with room to spare. The top of the console is flat with ample room for multiple video monitors and nearfield monitor speakers. Clean installation is ensured by having all power, network, and audio wiring hidden in the console legs.

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 incorporates 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.

The 32Classic 5448 with Dante offers fully integrated DAW support featuring onboard professional-grade A/D and D/A converters along with 96x96 I/O Audinate Dante network interfacing. Dante networking replaces the traditional tape recorder interface of classic analog consoles with a single Ethernet cable, to connect a computer running your favorite DAW software.

Connection flexibility is provided with analog interfacing to external recorders or other equipment, and even a mixed analog/Dante installation is easily accommodated.
