SPL Charisma 2

The Charisma 2 is a dual channel tube processor designed to improve the power, punch, dynamics and the subjective loudness of processed signals. Designed to introduce a subjective tonal warmth and a smooth bottom end into digitally recorded material, Charisma exceeds the mere simulation of tape saturation.

Charisma also helps to prevent overload and clipping on digitally or analogue recorded tracks. Charisma gives your signals more clarity, transparency and presence. Each part of the mix, instrument or vocal can easier be distinguished and located. Using the Charisma on single instruments alone lets those signals stick out of the mix. It also helps you to place vocals in a densed playback and maintaining their presence. The Charisma is equipped with XLR-connectors and TRS stereo jacks for balanced operation.
