CS-5501 is a multi-functional channel strip providing all the necessary tools to process all kinds of audio signals such as vocals and instruments. The CS-5501 is the successor to the very popular CS-3301. It retains the smooth sound of the CS-3301 and provides much more flexibility in all tracking and mixing situations.
