seem use sharc dsp for this device

anyone can ask for a version for sfp too ;D

This is achieved through a unique two-part process. Firstly, the use of Dynamic Convolution™ techniques is applied, utilising lightning fast SHARC chips applying unique level-dependant impulse responses to every sample of audio. However, whilst this is more than sufficient to identically re-synthesise a compressor’s sonic behaviour, in order to replicate precisely every subtle nuance, the pre-amplifier must physically match the way in which the classic unit interacts with a given microphone. The Liquid Channel’s solution to this problem lies in its vast analogue front-end. A pre-amp with the ability to change its impedance and vary its signal path to either transformer or electronic, perfectly replicating the interaction characteristics of the original, whilst remaining entirely transparent within the signal path.

this renders an SFP version a nogo - and I wouldn't expect FR to cease their revenues in favour of a cheapo solution
Nevertheless: there's convolution on Sharcs - cannot be long until it reaches our platform, too
The newer Sharcs have a much larger on-chip memory which is very handy for that kind of processing. Only a matter of time imho, provided CW returns on a financially healthy path.

my 2 cents, Tom

Exactly what I saw when i read that...

How much will it cost?

Check their site or your dealer

estimated retail is about $3.500 for the LiquidChannel
