HLabs

There’s more than one console worth borrowing ideas from. HLabs takes inspiration from the Studer 169, with mic preamps and equalisers for shaping a recording as it happens. Our collection includes PRE169 and EQ169 models, the CS169 channel strip, DI boxes and studio power amplifiers (the speakers need feeding too). Choose a recording channel, a modular addition or amplification for your monitoring setup.

The Studer connection is explicit in the CS169: it combines PRE169 and EQ169 circuits in a 1U rack. The separate EQ169 brings three-band shaping to a 500 series slot, with high and low shelves and a semi-parametric Presence band. Our range also includes PRE169S, EQ169S and EQ169+ options, alongside DI02 TBV and DI02S units. For passive speakers, AMP2100, AMP2200 and AMP4100 power amplifiers cover different channel and power requirements.
