A ''channel strip'' is a device that allows the output of an audio device to be amplified to a line level and integrated into some other system. An audio '''channel strip''' may be a stand-alone unit or one of many units built into a [[mixing desk]]. It usually includes a microphone [[preamp]] with a switchable [[phantom power]] voltage to power condenser microphones and some form of audio [[Equalization (audio)|equalization]]. Some designs also offer other facilities including [[Dynamic range compression|audio compression]], [[de-essing]], [[noise gate|noise-gating]] and [[limiting]].
