The architecture carries forward the same signal topology as the 80B\/80C, with a discrete Class A mic preamp per channel, the expanded 80C four-band EQ, and 27 dB of headroom engineered to handle the kind of gain-staging that collapses lesser consoles long before the mix bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eEQ Access Across the Entire Signal Path\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eOn most mid-tier consoles, full parametric equalization stops at the channel input. On the 88-24, the 80C four-band sweepable EQ — with shelving at the top and bottom and two peak filters covering mid-low and mid-high — is available not only on every input channel but also on monitor returns, FX returns, and group sections. The monitor path additionally carries a Tilt EQ, with a dedicated switch to swap the full EQ and Tilt EQ between the input and monitor paths. A separate EQ insert allows bypassing the onboard EQ entirely in favor of outboard gear — or running both in series — without interrupting any other part of the signal chain. Each EQ band offers ±15 dB of boost or cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eServiceability and Outboard Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEvery channel occupies its own module with a shock-mounted motherboard on rubber standoffs, isolating the circuitry from chassis-borne vibration. A channel swap takes minutes with a single screwdriver, and the console keeps running with one or more modules removed. The discrete Class A preamp includes a full bypass with a switchable input routed directly to the EQ section, enabling insertion of external preamps — including 500-series units — without passing through the internal gain stage. Lundahl input and output transformers are available as a per-channel option. The master section delivers 8 Aux Masters with AFL\/PFL solo, two independent ALT Monitor outputs each with level control, and an integrated talkback mic that routes to aux pairs or directly to the group buses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e24-channel in-line split architecture, 8 subgroups — inline configuration doubles inputs to the stereo bus\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDiscrete Class A mic preamp per channel — 60 dB of gain, full bypass to EQ section\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e80C EQ: 4 fully sweepable bands, ±15 dB, available on channels, monitors, FX returns, and groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTilt EQ on monitor section, switchable with full channel EQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e27 dB headroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e8 Aux Masters with AFL\/PFL solo; 2 independent ALT Monitor outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e8 stereo FX returns with EQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFull modularity — each channel, group, and master section individually removable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOptions: Lundahl I\/O transformers, automation, VU or LED metering, configurations beyond 40 channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIntegrated talkback microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRackmount power supply included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eChannels: 24 (short-load configurations available in 32-channel frame)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eArchitecture: in-line split, 8-bus\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMic preamp: discrete Class A, 60 dB gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEQ: 4-band fully sweepable (80C topology), ±15 dB per band\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHeadroom: 27 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFrequency response, mic in to mix out: +0 \/ -0.3 dB, 20 Hz–80 kHz (at 6–40 dB gain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFrequency response, line in to mix out: +0 \/ -0.3 dB, 20 Hz–60 kHz (at 0 dB gain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBus noise (24 inputs, equivalent to 64 inputs): below -77 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eConnectors: XLR \/ 6.35 mm jack combo (optional DB25 + XLR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: rackmount power supply included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Trident","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53985785971025,"sku":"28956","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/TridentSeries88Console-88-32_99072e24-f7dd-4722-b923-3565b2402f7b.jpg?v=1781027543","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/trident-series-88-console-88-24","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
