Each module is electronically identical to the N-TROPHY console channel strip: a discrete Class-A preamp on Jensen JE990 opamps (0–66 dB gain), a switchable input transformer, a THD stage with five saturation types, a tube optical compressor on an ECC88 tube, a 6-band passive EQ with HPF\/LPF on rotary switches, an insert loop with Dry\/Wet Blend, and an output trim with source selector. All signal routing is relay-switched with gold-plated contacts throughout. Six channels in a single housing handles drum recording (overheads, toms, kick, snare), full instrument sections, and any multi-channel session requiring uniform character across all channels. Hand-built in Poland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSix identical signal paths — consistency across multi-channel recording\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Mic\/Line\/Hi-Z preamp based on the flagship RP-2 topology delivers 0–66 dB of gain in 12 stepped positions; microphone input impedance is 3.5 kOhm, line is 10 kOhm, Hi-Z exceeds 1 MOhm; 48V phantom power and phase inversion are available per input type. An optional input transformer (X-FORMER) engaged via relay between the preamp and EQ adds subtle harmonic enhancement at low frequencies. The THD stage (Germanium, Silicon asymmetrical; Soft\/Medium\/Hard symmetrical) covers the range from gentle analog warmth through deliberate drive. The ECC88 tube optical compressor with continuous Comp→Lim morph, Dry\/Wet Blend, and stereo link between adjacent channels is ideal for overhead pairs and any stereo source; the tube can be bypassed independently from the compressor. Sidechain options include an internal HPF, KEY1\/KEY2 external inputs, and AUX 7+8 as global sidechain buses. The 6-band passive EQ with separate Boost and Cut per band and switchable Peak\/Shelf on HF and LF, combined with HPF\/LPF on rotary switches, delivers fully recallable, matched EQ across all six channels. Processor order (Preamp\/EQ\/Comp\/Insert) is relay-configured independently per channel across six permutations — each channel can carry a different processing chain simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eRear panel and system integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe N-Closure 6 rear panel provides a full complement of XLR and combo sockets for each of the six channels: a global KEY input for external sidechain, insert send\/return XLR, and a channel line output with a selectable tap point — after the preamp or after full channel processing. The per-channel line output with source selector and level trim allows routing to a DAW interface at any point in the signal chain — pre- or post-EQ, compressor, and insert. A Sifam VU meter per channel displays Post Gain, Gain Reduction, Trim, or Input mode. Each channel has a 100mm stepped motorized fader on fixed resistors, identical to the N-TROPHY. The housing's built-in power supply drives all six ECC88 tube compressors simultaneously. The full six-channel system fits in 11U of rack space and operates as a self-contained front-end for any audio interface or DAW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eComplete system: 11U housing + 6 N-Strip modules factory-installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e6 identical Class-A signal paths — uniform character across multi-channel sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDiscrete Mic\/Line\/Hi-Z preamp Jensen JE990, gain 0–66 dB, 12 positions per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e48V phantom power; phase inversion; Tape input 0\/+6\/+12 dB per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSwitchable input transformer (X-FORMER) per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTHD Stage: 5 saturation types (Germanium, Silicon, Soft, Medium, Hard) per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTube optical compressor ECC88 with Comp→Lim morph, Dry\/Wet, stereo link per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStereo link between adjacent channels — ideal for drum overheads and stereo source pairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIndependent tube bypass per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSidechain: internal HPF, KEY1\/KEY2, AUX 7+8 as global sidechain buses\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e6-band passive EQ with separate Boost\/Cut; switchable Peak\/Shelf on HF and LF per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHPF and LPF 6 dB\/oct with frequency selection on rotary switches per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInsert XLR with Dry\/Wet Blend per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e6 configurable processor orders per channel (independently relay-switched)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSifam VU meter: Post Gain \/ GR \/ Trim \/ Input per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOutput Trim with source selector and level control per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e100mm stepped motorized fader per channel (identical to N-TROPHY)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRear panel per channel: KEY XLR, insert in\/out XLR, channel line output\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSelectable output tap: after preamp or after full channel processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in AC power supply supporting all 6 modules with ECC88 tube compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHand-built in Poland\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: complete 6-channel system — 11U housing + 6 N-Strip modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSignal path: discrete, Class-A, balanced, relay-switched throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePreamp: Jensen JE990, gain 0–66 dB (12 steps)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInput impedance Mic: 3.5 kOhm; Line: 10 kOhm; Hi-Z: above 1 MOhm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaximum input level: +22 dBV\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePhantom power: 48V per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInput transformer: switchable (X-FORMER)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTHD Stage: 5 types (Germanium, Silicon, Soft, Medium, Hard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCompressor: opto ECC88, continuous Comp→Lim morph, Dry\/Wet, adjacent-channel stereo link\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSidechain: internal HPF, KEY1\/KEY2, AUX 7+8\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEQ: 6-band passive, separate Boost\/Cut, switchable Peak\/Shelf on HF\/LF\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHPF\/LPF: 6 dB\/oct, frequency selectable on rotary switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInsert: balanced XLR, Dry\/Wet Blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProcessor order: 6 relay-switched configurations per channel (independent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVU meter: Sifam per channel, Post Gain \/ GR \/ Trim \/ Input\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFader: 100mm stepped motorized (fixed resistors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRear panel per channel: KEY XLR, insert in XLR, insert out XLR, channel line output\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOutput tap: selectable after preamp or after full channel processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHousing size: 11U rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: AC mains, built-in supply supporting all 6 modules with ECC88 tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProduction: hand-built, Poland\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HUM Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53745438163281,"sku":"58402","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/HUMAudioN-Closure6_Frame_6modules_1.jpg?v=1778576419","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/hum-audio-n-closure-6-frame-6-modules","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
