Gainlab Audio Bishop Channel Strip Details

The Gainlab Audio Bishop’s front panel boasts inputs for both microphones and instruments, while the back panel offers options for mic and line inputs. In addition to the standard phase, polarity, and phantom power switches, a unique drive knob is present, enabling the enhancement of instrument input through a discrete solution.

The prominent illuminated ring, serving as a stepped gain selector, is divided into two selectable scales, providing the remarkable ability to achieve gains up to +60dB. This unit goes above and beyond expectations, delivering unparalleled performance.

Situated at the centre of the Gainlab Audio Bishop, the VU meter performs the crucial role of displaying the output level. Adjacent to it, the unit features two GR meters belonging to the dual-slope optical compressor, a distinctive innovation from Gainlab Audio.

This ingenious design offers recording engineers an unprecedented toolset by introducing a secondary slope to the well-regarded LA-2A approach. This expanded functionality is under precise control through adjustable character, timing, and threshold settings.

Located just above the output attenuator, the unit incorporates a high-pass filter (HPF) with dual options. Positioned at the final stretch of the front panel is a concealed asset known as the Dynamic Air Band, featuring a pair of selectable choices.

This function can operate in the familiar capacity of a favoured Air Band. However, when paired with an active compressor, it reacts to the ongoing compression levels, bestowing the distinctive character of high-frequency elements upon the recorded audio.

Constructed using the same robust materials synonymous with Gainlab Audio products, the Gainlab Audio Bishop boasts an engraved front panel and high-quality internal components. Together, they combine to provide enduring value to customers in their audio production endeavours.
