Raindirk Series III (RARE) Console Emulations (GENESIS)

AnalogX – Raindirk Series III Console Emulations (GENESIS)
Exclusive to Genesis | Sampled at 96kHz | Powered by Ethereum+

British Console Royalty. Reimagined.

Inspired by and paying homage to one of the most iconic vintage mixing desks in recording history, the Raindirk Series III Console Emulations bring the legendary Olympic Studios tone directly to your DAW. These aren’t just clean channel captures — this is the full glory of discrete British engineering, down to the transformers, headroom, and silky EQ curves.

This ultra-rare console, designed by Cyril Jones and used on records by Queen, The Clash, Blondie, Pink Floyd, and countless others, is now captured in stunning Ethereum+ resolution. Expect headroom, depth, and that unmistakable sheen from one of the best-kept secrets in analog console design.

🧬 A Brief History

The Raindirk Series III console was hand-built in the UK by Cyril Jones, originally for Olympic Studios — a recording temple whose client list reads like a Hall of Fame: Queen, Pink Floyd, The Who, U2, Blondie, Black Sabbath, and many more.

While never mass-produced, this desk earned a reputation for its crystal-clear headroom and exceptional musicality. Its modular architecture and transformer-balanced topology made it a workhorse for both tracking and mix sessions during the 1970s and 1980s. Pete Townshend himself owned one.

This capture is taken from one of the few known working Raindirk Series III desks in circulation — and now it lives inside Genesis.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• Ethereum+ Modelling – Unmatched harmonic nuance, smooth transients, and extended decay behavior
• All Console Stages Covered – Input preamps, line channels, EQ curves, and stereo bus
• Sampled at 96kHz, Modelled at 48kHz – True-to-hardware resolution with CPU-efficient delivery
• Includes Unity and Pushed Captures – Go from clean to driven without switching plugins
• Ultra-Rare Source Hardware – One of the only working Raindirk Series III desks left

⚙️ How to Use It

• Unity Profiles – Subtle console weight and mid focus
• Pushed Profiles – Adds discrete analog edge for drums, vocals, and synths
• PRE HOT for Drive – Dial in transformer bite or reamp through the console
• EQ Boost Profiles – 12K shimmer, 120Hz thump, or low-end analog lift via 60Hz
• Red Drive at 0 (12 o’clock) – Calibrated for -21 LUFS input for authentic analog tone
