Harness the Sound and Workflow of a Big Studio
Softube's Console 1 Channel Mk III infuses your computer-based studio with the sound and feel of a large-scale production space. This mixing control surface gives you hands-on control over an entire Softube-powered channel strip via 27 touch-sensitive potentiometers and dual high-resolution smart screens. You'll appreciate Console 1 Channel Mk III's one-knob-per-function design, which enables you to replicate an analog studio workflow. In other words, you can put your mouse down, take your eyes off your computer screen, and put your focus where it belongs. Console 1 Channel Mk III comes with Softube's Core Mixing Suite, which includes the company's Tape, FET Compressor Mk II, and Bus Processor effects — and more — all organized into dedicated Tape/Preamp, Filter, Shape, Equalizer, Compressor, and Drive sections on the control surface. Console 1 Channel Mk III boasts dual USB-C ports for easy daisy-chaining, VESA and 19-inch rackmounting options, and a premium bead-blasted aluminum finish.

Satisfying hands-on control
Twisting one of Console 1 Channel Mk III's "analog feel" knobs offers a sensation not unlike getting hands-on with expensive analog outboard gear. These 27 touch-sensitive knobs yield the perfect amount of weight and resistance, allowing you to get fully immersed in the mixing experience. And with more than ten times the resolution of its predecessor's Console 1 Channel Mk III's physical controls are tailor-made for modern mixing workflows. The engineers here at Sweetwater, especially those of us who were weaned on analog, appreciate the tactile gratification we get from working on Console 1 Channel Mk III.

True-to-life analog workflow

Console 1 Channel Mk III offers the perfect antidote for engineers feeling trapped by a keyboard and mouse. For starters, its one-knob-per-function design mimics the way analog gear works, putting all the important parameters right at your fingertips. Add to that dual high-resolution smart screens, and you'll no longer have any reason to click your mouse or stare at your computer screen.
