With additional hybrid workflow features and a built-in stereo mix bus for summing multiple units, the 32Classic MS delivers the sound of legends while adding unique, innovative functions to enhance your workflow.
Sharing the same design as the 32Classic console, the 32Classic MS is equipped with a transformer‑coupled Jensen JT-MB-CPCA mic preamp, characterful Harrison LP/HP filters with a 3 dB resonance peak, and an exceptionally smooth 4‑band parametric equalizer. The original 3232 console was used by artists such as Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, and many more to create some of the most legendary and beloved albums in music history. Today, for the first time, this unmatched sound is available in a 19" rack format. Add a recording legend to your studio with the 32Classic MS.
Comprehensive input section: The 32Classic MS features a versatile input section, with dedicated XLR mic and line inputs on the rear panel. For added convenience, it also offers a front‑panel input with selectable Instrument/Hi‑Z and Mic options. The mic input is equipped with essentials such as 48V phantom power, a -20 dB pad, phase inversion, and a tri‑color LED indicator. Both mic and line inputs have independent gain controls, ensuring precise settings and superior performance on either input. Whether you’re recording, producing, or mixing, the 32Classic MS gives you the connectivity you need to optimize your session.
Harrison mic preamp — the sound of legends: One of the characteristics that made Harrison recordings legendary is its high‑performance transformer‑coupled mic preamp. True to its heritage, the 32Classic MS mic preamp provides 70 dB of clean gain to deliver the warm, rich sound Harrison is known for. The Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer yields full lows, open mids, and naturally smooth highs. The transformer’s slight attenuation at each end of the frequency spectrum and gentle phase shift create a remarkably smooth, musical sound, making it ideal for virtually any sound source.
Signature LP/HP filters: As on the original 3232 and the latest 32Classic console, the 32Classic MS high‑pass and low‑pass filters offer a musical 12 dB/octave slope. The high‑pass filter, ranging from 25 Hz to 3.1 kHz, includes a 3 dB resonance peak, while the low‑pass filter ranges from 160 Hz to 20 kHz — ideal for removing hum or softening high frequencies. The true Harrison magic begins when used in combination with the EQ section to tighten the lows and “feed” the highs without them ever sounding harsh or brittle.
32Classic EQ: The 32Classic MS brings the iconic 4‑band parametric equalizer from the 32Classic console to a 19" rack format for the first time. Originally designed in the 1970s — a time when you had to get it right at the source, with no safety net — its frequency bands and proportional‑Q were meticulously developed to deliver both broad, musical curves and precision, bringing out the best in virtually any source or application. Recognized by legendary engineers such as Bruce Swedien and Roger Nichols for its power, and used in renowned studios like The Village and Westlake Studios, LA, and LSI Studios, Nashville for its flexibility — add one of the most sought‑after equalizers to your studio.
Built‑in MixBus and hybrid workflow features: Build your Harrison recording and mixing system, channel by channel, thanks to the 32Classic MS’s built‑in mix bus. Designed to enhance recording and mixing workflows and capabilities, the mix bus lets you cascade the outputs of multiple units via the rear‑panel summing connectors and link cables. Balance signals using the fader control and pan across the stereo outputs. You can also engage 0 dB Fader Bypass and record at unity gain. Perfect for hybrid workflows, mobile rigs, or within your recording studio, the 32Classic MS built‑in mix bus delivers Harrison’s iconic sound with exceptional flexibility.
Insert point: The 32Classic MS unit includes a balanced insert point (located after the mic preamp and before the filters) to insert additional processing such as a compressor into the unit’s signal path.
Channel outputs: The 32Classic MS provides useful pre‑ and post‑fader direct outputs for better control when sending to a recording device.
32Classic MS sidecar: Enhance your mixing and/or tracking workflow by combining multiple 32Classic MS channels for use as a “sidecar” within your existing setup. Perfect for drum or instrument buses, it adds Harrison’s iconic sound to your sonic palette, offering warmth, depth, and flexibility to any recording or mixing application.
