Using the TM107 3-Band EQ, which is a 2U module, 5 modules can be combined in the 1U high frame. A combination with mic pre, compressor, noise gate, eq, and limiter is possible.

It is obvious that the ToolMod system can be used to combine any kind of modules in any desired way. The ToolMod sets are some examples of setups for common applications. The picture shows a ToolMod Channel Strip with mic pre, DI, compressor and equalizer.

ToolMod Input Channel Strips

It is a matter of course that ToolMod Pro Audio Modules are best suited to combine high-grade channels strips in any desired way. The ToolMod Channel Strip CS combines a TM101 Transformer Mic Pre, a TM103 DI Amp, a TM112 Compressor and a TM105 Equalizer.

This combination is a good setup for a small studio since it offers a DI input for instruments of the same high quality level as the mic pre. In addition, the compressor and the equalizer can be used for processing in the mix. The line input of the TM101 mic pre allows the selection between recording and mixing without the need of a patch bay.

If the DI amp is not needed, a TM116 Noise-Gate or a TM115 Peak-Limiter can be installed in the free slot. The price difference between these versions is very low.

Another alternative is the TM102 discrete Mic Pre that can be used instead of the transformer mic pre TM101. In combination with the TM107 3-Band Equalizer, five instead of four modules fit into the 1U high frame. In this case, combinations with noise gate and peak limiter are possible.
