IC2.1 Insert Computer

Introducing the IC2.1 Insert Computer, which merges our renowned analog circuitry insert consoles with digital interfacing.

The IC2.1 at a glance

  • The IC2.1 shines best in the most demanding mastering-studios, but easily finds its way in recording-studios.
  • The IC2.1 has 2 stereo inputs and outputs and you can connect up 9 stereo inserts.
  • Instant recall and automation using our plugin.

2 inputs, 9 inserts and 2 outputs

2 stereo inputs and 2 stereo outputs and you can connect up to 9 stereo processors and process to your liking.

All inputs, outputs and inserts switching use sealed relays, ensuring a fully passive signal path with no unwanted electronic coloration.

Digital recall and automation with plugin

Our ears and brains only hang on to sound for about 1.5 seconds, which makes it pretty much impossible to remember exactly how something sounded after re-patching your analog gear.

The IC2.1 lets you save and recall complex analog chains using our plugin. 

Buttons and knobs for all functions

The IC2.1 offers flexible control options, including an elegant and user-friendly front-panel. Every function has its own dedicated pushbutton and control encoder.

No complex and user-unfriendly menus.

Active gains on input and output

Bypassable transparant active gain on the inputs, along with separate active gains for its two outputs. A wide gain-range of +/-10dB in 0.1dB per step.

Furthermore, the output gains can serve as a bypass gain compensation for level-matched AB’ing. 

Mid Side processing and wet/dry Blend

Insert 3 can be used for parallel/blend processing with seperate wet and dry controls.

Inserts 5 and 6 are equipped with mid/side processing, featuring dedicated mute buttons for both mid and side channels, and bypassable stereo width control. 

Audio connections

Inserts 1 to 8 use Tascam analog standard Goldplated DB25 connectors.

All inputs, outputs and insert 9 use Goldplated Neutrik XLR connectors.

Key functions
