Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for a rack-based recording or mix setup, the Super 9000 combines a SuperAnalogue input path, variable harmonic drive, dynamics and four-band EQ in one rack space. Use the mic path for recording, or flip the dedicated line input through that preamp path when processing line-level material. Its switchable EQ circuits, insert routing and external sidechain connection make signal order and control choices part of the workflow rather than a fixed path.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording vocals or instruments with a choice between SuperAnalogue and Variable Harmonic Drive input paths
- Processing line-level DAW stems through the mic preamp path using Line Input Flip
- Building a stereo-linked processing pair with two Super 9000 units
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standalone stereo pairing; sidechain linking requires a second Super 9000 unit
