Strike Gold With The Eureka Channel Strip!
The Eureka channel strip features a Class A transformer-coupled mic preamp with variable impedance as well as a saturation knob for tube saturation emulation.

PreSonus Eureka Channel Strip at a Glance:
  • Channel strip with full-featured compressor
  • Includes 3-band EQ
  • Handles mic, line, and instrument sources
  • Digital option turns Eureka into DAW front end!


The Eureka sports a compressor with variable threshold, attack, release and gain makeup. It offers a soft knee compression mode, as well as a high-pass filter on the sidechain for frequency dependent compression, which is useful for de-essing and other frequency specific compression applications.

The Eureka, complete with an audio transformer on the input stage, offers a fully-parametric three-band EQ with overlapping bands and switchable staging for the EQ and compressor, enabling you to swap the order of the EQ and compression.

The Eureka has instrument, line and microphone inputs as well as switchable gain reduction for the VU meter, dual outputs (TRS and XLR) that can be used simultaneously and an optional digital output card capable of up to 24-bit 96khz output on AES/EBU or S/PDIF. In addition, the unit has a 48-volt phantom power unit with an 80Hz rumble filter, a -20dB pad, a phase inversion button and balanced send and return jacks for inserting outboard gear.

Digital connection for the Eureka!
Turn the Eureka into a digital front end for your DAW! With the optional AD192 card, the ultra flexible Eureka becomes even more powerful by adding high-quality digital output to a professional recording channel with microphone input impedance selection, tube simulation, variable compressor and ultra smooth three band parametric EQ.

PreSonus Eureka Preamp Features:
  • Award-winning Class A transformer-coupled mic preamp
  • Variable impedance -- especially useful for ribbon microphones

PreSonus Eureka Compressor Features:

  • Hi pass filter on the sidechain -- allows for de-essing and other frequency specific compression applications
  • Soft knee compression mode

PreSonus Eureka Equalizer Features:
  • Fully parametric three band equalizer with overlapping bands
  • Switchable staging for the EQ and compressor -- place the compressor before the EQ or vice-versa


PreSonus Eureka Additional Features:
  • Gain Reduction or Output metering for VU meter (switchable)
  • Balanced Send and Return Jacks for Inserting Outboard Gear

  • Dual outputs: TRS and XLR. Both can be used simultaneously


Customer Reviews
 Excellent  
by Carl from Dayton, OR USA, January 30, 2008
Music Background:  Recording Engineer, Musician


“This piece of equipment takes my project studio to the next level. The pre amp is awesome, from completely transparent to add color and warmth with the saturation control. The compressor is very easy to use going into the DAW and is a real help with vocalists that have a little trouble controlling their dynamics. I use a TLM103 for most vox so seldom need EQ for that mic, but it’s handy for...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "The Eureka is an inseparable part of my studio and I use it on almost every guitar track I record. Just get your hands on one of these because hearing is believing."
Yuval Fuchs

  "The Eureka is the single most-used piece of gear I own. Virtually everything I record is tracked through a Eureka. It's also my go-to channel strip for every live sound gig I do. For overdriven guitar, spoken word, or anything in between, the Eureka rocks, both in the studio and on stage!"
Jeff Barnett

  "The Eureka is about as "secret weapon" as you are going to get. If you have $1000 to spend on a channel strip, this unit is still in the game. 90% of the time, my customers call me back specifically to tell me what a good recommendation it was. The other 10% of the time, they call me back to buy another one, THEN rave about it."
Sean Wooldridge

  "Since I got the Eureka, I've been running anything I record through it. Not only is it super clean yet musical, it gives me a ton of flexibility and control with the parametric EQ and compressor to tweak my guitar and vocal tracks."
Paul Allen
