Ah, now I "understand"

What are these modular channel strips?

Practically, if you take an analog console like a Neve or SSL, there are many channel strips for each channel. Each channel strip contains in order: preamplifiers, limiter, gate, compressor, equalizer, various faders, and matrices to route the input signal or output to headphones. However, every time the signal enters a piece of equipment, it gets "ruined." Assuming the signal passes through a flat equalizer, even though it shouldn't touch the signal since everything is set to 0, it still modifies the signal. So, they decided to decouple all these modules and make them modular and connectable according to needs. On an SSL, the signal must necessarily pass through the entire process; therefore, if you are recording a vocal and only need to equalize and compress it, it will also pass through the gate and limiter circuits. If the modules are detached, you can choose to connect only the equalizer and compressor so that the signal passes only through the equipment that is actually needed.

It's an idea that is gaining a lot of traction. I'll point you to the Arrel Audio website. The designers are two of my university professors who are creating equipment based precisely on modularity. One is Eng. Marco Re, the other is Livio Argentini (whom many will know for his legendary analog outboard gear).
