Retro Instruments Powerstrip is a tube recording channel in a 2U chassis that puts three devices in one path: a transformer-coupled class A tube microphone preamplifier, passive Pultec-style equalization, and a British tube compressor built on a variable-mu tube. Gain headroom covers every microphone and instrument you can put in front of it, and a balanced line input lets the same path serve at mix time. The rear XLR microphone and line inputs and the line output are fully floating and transformer balanced.

The whole recording chain without patching

A standard path from microphone to converter takes three units, three pairs of cables and three level matches, and every connection is somewhere headroom can be lost or hum picked up. The Powerstrip runs that chain internally, on one power inlet and one output to the interface. Compressor and equalizer have independent bypass switches, so the order of decisions stays with the engineer: track through the preamp alone, add equalization at mix time, or work the full path.

Instrument in at the front, amp feed at the back

The front-panel quarter-inch instrument jack loops to a rear jack intended for a stage amplifier, while a separate low-level balanced output carries the processed signal. That lets one channel handle a guitar or bass in the studio and a stage rig where the signal has to reach both the system and the cabinet. The equalization section offers ten high-frequency boost centres from 1.5 to 16 kHz, four low centres with simultaneous boost and cut, and a subsonic filter coupled through the interstage transformer. The compressor provides six selectable time constants and a highpass sidechain filter at 90 or 250 Hz.
