The Gold Channel is equipped with 24 bit AD/DA converters, AES/EBU, S/PDIF and ADAT/Toslink Optical Inputs and Outputs.

About this Manual

Many people in the music business (and elsewhere) have an aversion to reading manuals. We understand that. So if you feel like starting without reading the whole manual, check out the Quick Reference at page 11. You can always use the manual if you want to check out areas that you have questions about.

On the other hand, you might want to know a little more about the Gold Channel before you start pressing keys. The manual will take you step by step through all of the Gold Channel’s functions. If you want to read about a specific function, please refer to the Table of Contents.

Gold Channel specifications

TC Electronic SDN BHD has established itself as a pioneer in audio technology, and one of its standout products is the SDN BHD Gold Channel. This innovative device is designed for professional audio applications, particularly in live sound and broadcast environments. The Gold Channel is revered for its exceptional sound quality, versatility, and user-friendly interface, making it a go-to choice for audio engineers and musicians alike.

At the heart of the Gold Channel is its advanced signal processing technology. It features a high-quality preamp that provides a clean and transparent sound, essential for capturing the nuances of live performances. The preamp is complemented by a robust equalization section, allowing users to shape their sound with precision. The three-band EQ offers both high and low shelving controls, as well as a parametric mid-band, facilitating a wide range of sonic possibilities.

Another significant feature of the Gold Channel is its dynamic processing capabilities. It incorporates a powerful compressor that helps manage dynamic range effectively.

The onboard de-esser helps eliminate sibilance, making vocals smoother and more polished.

In addition to these core features, the Gold Channel also includes an excellent built-in digital effects processor. This allows users to add reverb, delay, and modulation effects directly within the channel strip, streamlining the mixing process. The intuitive controls make it easy to dial in effects quickly, which is particularly beneficial in fast-paced live settings.

Connectivity options are another strong suit of the Gold Channel. It features multiple input channels, including XLR and TRS, accommodating a variety of microphones and instruments. The outputs are equally versatile, providing balanced and unbalanced options for seamless integration with other audio equipment.

Furthermore, the Gold Channel boasts robust build quality, designed to withstand the rigors of live performances. With a sleek metal chassis and reliable components, this device is built for longevity.
