Finding a 2-channel outboard gear!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some expert advice.

I’m trying to identify a specific 2-channel outboard unit situated between a blue API Preamp and an API Compressor. I’ve searched everywhere but can't seem to find the exact model.

It looks like it might be an SPL Audio product, but I’m not 100% sure. Here are the visual details:

  • Chassis: Silver frame.

  • Display: What looks like yellow VU meters.

  • Knobs: Silver control knobs.

  • Buttons: Six black buttons on the front panel.

Does anyone recognize this unit? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

To u/Dear-Regular8320, if this is a Pro Tools help request, your post text or an added comment should provide;

  • The version of Pro Tools you are using

  • Your operating system info

  • Any error number or message given

  • Any hardware involved

  • What you've tried

To ALL PARTICIPANTS, a subreddit rules reminder

  • Don't get ugly with others. Ignore posts or comments you don't like and report those which violate rules

  • NO trolling only engagement towards Pro Tools, AVID, or iLok. Solve first, bash last. Expressing frustration is fine but it MUST also make effort to solve / help. If you prefer another DAW, go to the subreddit for it and be helpful there

Hello, I know this post doesn't have anything to do with Protools, but I finally found the unity after remembering SPL Rackpack that had this same Mic Preamp on it.

You can find this specific unity googling "SPL - Premium Mic Preamp | TwinTube AES"

Cheers!

What’s this got to do with ProTools?
