Icon Pro Audio Harrison 32Ci Overview

The iCON 32Ci is a 12-input / 12-output USB-C audio and MIDI interface featuring a pair of Harrison 32C preamps and a pair of 32C filters, just like the ones used on some of the most iconic albums in history from artists including Michael Jackson, Paul Simon, AC/DC, Genesis, Janet Jackson, ELO, Led Zeppelin, and more.

Ready for use with Mac or Windows computers, this compact and portable interface offers a pair of XLR/TRS inputs to accommodate microphones, line signals, and Hi-Z instruments along with a second pair of TRS line inputs.

The front panel features two independent headphone jacks, allowing performers to hear custom mixes from supported DAWs. Studio-grade AD/DA delivers a dynamic range of 129 dB, and resolutions up to 24-bit / 192 kHz are supported. In addition to the analog connections, a pair of ADAT ports supply up to eight additional channels of digital I/O, making the 32Ci an expandable studio centerpiece especially with the smartly designed top panel layout of buttons and knobs providing tactile, intuitive control over recording and mixing functions.

32Ci Preamp

• Renowned for their warm and transparent sound, the Harrison 32C preamps are a true gem in the recording world. Experience the exceptional clarity they provide, delivering a clean and detailed signal with minimal noise perfect for a wide array of recording needs. Equipped with high-quality transformers, these preamps infuse your recordings with a rich, musical character, adding depth and warmth to every track.
• The 32C preamps boast a broad frequency response, capturing subtle nuances and dynamic range with stunning precision. With 70 dB of gain, these preamps handle high input levels without distortion, making them the ideal choice for recording powerful sources like drums and electric guitars. The 32Ci offers individually selectable phantom power on each channel with a -20 dB pad that can be engaged for recording louder sources.

32Ci Filter

• The 32 Series consoles revolutionized the industry with their innovative high-pass and low-pass filters, designed to tackle unwanted rumble and hiss in your sources. With dual log potentiometers, these unique filters offer an exceptionally wide sweep range, allowing you to overlap them effectively and eliminate the passband altogether. Mixing engineers, including the acclaimed Bruce Swedien, harnessed this capability to optimize their mixes, seamlessly blending multiple instruments without interference.
• Discover the Bump button, meticulously recreated to emulate the original filter s slight resonance. Experience an added punch in the low-end, just above the filter s cutoff frequency. Use this feature strategically to retain vocal presence while expertly filtering out any unwanted rumble captured by the microphone.
