Joemeek's most advanced, full-featured channel strip.

The OneQ is the most full-featured, technologically advanced studio channel Joemeek has ever made! The Joemeek OneQ is a single channel combining Mic Pre (with Burr-Brown IC), four band EQ, the most flexible yet, Joemeek's "signature" optical compressor, a De-Esser, and an Enhancer. It's a master channel like no other.

Housed in a 2u chassis, the elegantly sculpted faceplate is intelligently laid out, with clear, easy to read legends and a large analog VU meter. The OneQ also features 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters with word clock input and output.

Put the OneQ's pure British tone at the front end of your DAW and you'll understand why they say, "The Meek shall inherit!"

One of the better channel strips out there

This channel strip sits in my studio rack alongside a UA LA610MkII and a TwinQ. The oneQ is a VERY serious piece of equipment, and if it was made in Europe or the USA it would cost much more than it does, and rightly so. It can be clean and transparent or rough and full of attitude depending on how you set it. It sounds extremely good on voice, acoustic guitars, as a D.I. box for bass, violin, cello, flute, sax and what not... It's not even a full step away from the UA and the UA is considered to be one of the best out there ( and it deserves that reputation )... It's more a little different than "not as good". It's just solid state, so it's a bit edgier and punchier, slightly more aggressive than the full tube UA. The compressor is impressive and the EQ really good. The rest of the machine is equally nice to have but sees less usage from me.

Honestly get one while they are around, it's a very good channel strip with a lot more heart than the price tag will make you believe. I know a lot of studios own the TwinQ and the OneQ and absolutely swear by them.... And so do I...

Just amazing!! I was so confused what preamp to buy, i was thinking in expensive ones, like Avalon and UA, but at the shop they told me to try this one. I´ve never tried Avalon, but i tested UA and i can tell you that this Joemeek one Q maybe is not better but have character and some color that is perfect for my voice, and the compresor is incredible, i have a very dynamic voice and this Joemeek handles it without any problem.... soft and easy. My best buy in years. Very recommended for male voice.

Awesome features - all you need!

It's awesome to have very controllable compression, EQ (which sounds sweet and clear to thick and punchy), de-essing, and enhancement all in one unit. Very low noise, clean sound, digital outs only help things along. Not so "colored" or "warm" but very clean and nice.
