Description

A 4 channel compressor with high frequency de-essing.

Each channel includes:

  • Threshold control
  • Below threshold metering
  • Ratio control
  • A gain reduction meter
  • A clip LED
  • Gain control
  • Linking
  • High frequency de-esser.

Attack and release time constants are automatically and continually regulated by dynamic and harmonic content of program material.

The unit features electronically balanced inputs and outputs.
