It is powered from a universal wall‑wart with a clip‑on adapter plate to suit the local main plug style. The Crimson is a fairly large but low‑profile desktop unit, measuring 330 x 60 x 207 mm (WHD), and weighing a surprisingly heavy 2.7kg. Until recently, 'digital' wasn't even in SPL's lexicon, but the company now offer a 16‑channel MADI A‑D/D‑A converter called the Madison (see what they did there?) and - the subject of this review - the new Crimson, which is a six‑in, six‑out USB 2 interface combined with a high-quality monitor controller. The company's catalogue offers various solid‑state and valve‑based preamps, channel strips, dynamics processors (such as the excellent Transient Designer), equalisers, headphone amps and several monitor controllers - as well as some very impressive mastering console systems. The German company Sound Performance Lab are well known for manufacturing a range of well‑designed and high‑quality, exclusively analogue, audio equipment. SPL's Crimson combines a high‑quality interface and monitor controller into one conveniently sized box.
