Key Features
The Universal Audio Century Tube Channel Strip is a custom-designed channel strip comprising a vintage tube-style preamp, optical compressor and three-band EQ. With its streamlined workflow, the Century Tube Channel Strip allows you to capture the perfect vibe on the first try. Whether you're working with vocals, guitars, drums, or any other instrument, this plug-in delivers a wide variety of tones from subtle to highly saturated.
The Century Tube Channel Strip also offers seamless integration with Apollo interfaces using Unison technology. This means you can directly control gain staging and impedance from your interface, giving you complete control over your sound. Additionally, the modular design of this plug-in allows you to pick and choose which aspects of the channel strip you need for your processing.
One of the standout features of the Century Tube Channel Strip is its highly-musical three-band EQ. This EQ lets you bring out the best parts of any instrument, allowing you to sculpt your sound with precision. Furthermore, the plug-in eliminates the guesswork of compression with its single knob for compression. This makes it easy to add energy to basses, glue to drums, and even grit and texture to vocals.

Experience the exquisite warmth and detail in your vocal recordings that can only be achieved with a tube mic preamp. The Century Tube Channel Strip's mic preamp is designed to bring out the best in your vocals, offering a stunning range of tones from subtle to saturated. No matter the genre, this tube mic preamp will inspire you to deliver captivating performances. With the Low/High gain switch, you can easily match the Century's Tube Preamp to your microphone. The Low setting is ideal for modern condenser microphones, while the High position excels with dynamic and ribbon microphones. Take your vocal recordings to the next level with the Century Tube Channel Strip.
Blurring the lines between analog and digital, the Century Tube Channel Strip is equipped with UA's pioneering Unison technology. This innovative feature ensures that you get the authentic impedance, gain staging "sweet spots," and circuit behaviours of a vintage tube preamp. Unison achieves this by allowing bi-directional control and communication between the Century Tube Channel Strip plug-in and the digitally controlled mic preamps in Apollo. Experience the best of both worlds and enjoy the vintage tube preamp sound with the convenience of digital technology.
Whether you're working on vocals, guitar, or any other instrument, the Century Tube Channel Strip's intuitive three-band EQ is perfect for bringing out the details in your recordings. This musically voiced EQ allows you to quickly and easily enhance the breathiness of a vocal, add punch to an overdriven electric guitar, or give an acoustic rhythm guitar a vibrant and shimmering quality. With the Century Tube Channel Strip, achieving the perfect EQ seasoning has never been easier.
Say goodbye to complicated compression settings. The Century Tube Channel Strip features a classic optical compressor that takes the guesswork out of compression. With just a simple twist of a knob, you can quickly tame the dynamics of a vocal or bass performance. Need to add energy and harmonics to your acoustic guitars or piano? The Century's compressor has got you covered. You can even use the compressor as an effect to add grit and texture to keys and soft synths, injecting character and vibe into your mix. Achieve optimal compression with ease and elevate your recordings with the Century Tube Channel Strip.
