32Classic At a Glance

A Legacy of Sonic Excellence
Harrison’s name has long been associated with some of music’s most timeless moments. The original 3232 consoles, used by artists like Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, and Michael Jackson, brought a signature warmth and clarity to the music industry. Now, the 32Classic MS brings that legacy into a modern, rack-mountable design.
The 32Classic MS combines a Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer-coupled microphone preamp and a 4-band parametric EQ. These are complemented by high- and low-pass filters that offer unmatched flexibility and precision. Engineers can expect a full low end, open midrange, and smooth natural highs—perfect for everything from vocals to instruments.
Additionally, the mic preamp delivers up to 70 dB of clean gain and includes features like 48V phantom power, a -20 dB pad, and phase flip. The intuitive controls allow for precise adjustments, ensuring that any input shines.
Modern Versatility Meets Classic Design
Harrison hasn’t just preserved the past; they’ve expanded on it. With an integrated summing bus, multiple 32Classic MS units can be chained together, creating a modular Harrison console in your studio. Whether you need a sidecar for an existing rig or a centerpiece for a new workflow, this mix strip adapts to your needs.
The unit’s intuitive architecture offers dedicated mic and line inputs, selectable front-panel Hi-Z or mic options, and robust output balancing through the fader and pan controls. The filters and EQs work seamlessly to tighten lows and add richness to the highs, all while maintaining Harrison’s hallmark musicality.
