Direct Input
Transformer coupled input for
Hi-Z instruments with passive
1/4” thru circuit
Microphone Preamp
66dB of gain utilizing discrete
op-amp and custom
transformer coupled inputs
with selectable phase, mute
and +48V switching
High Pass Filter
Continuously variable from
20 to 250Hz at 12dB/Oct.,
with with a send to the
compressor side-chain
LF EQ
+/- 15dB gain selectable at
35, 60, 100 and 220Hz, with
in / out and peak / shelf
modes
Line Input
Transformer balanced line
level input with +/- 6dB trim
control
EQ Master
Master engage for the EQ
section with pre or post
compressor selection
HMF EQ
+/- 15dB gain from .7 to
14KHz, with continuously
variable Q from 0.7 to 5.0
HF EQ
+/- 15dB gain selectable at
4.7, 6.8, 12, and 25KHz, with
in / out and peak / shelf
modes
Compression Mode
Changes the VCA detection
from a forward feed design
(faster, more accurate attack
& release) to return feed
(smoother, more musical and
vintage response)
Texture
Continuously variable control
for Silk & Silk+ modes
allows the engineer to fine
tune the harmonic ratio of
the channel module
LED Metering
Dual 16 point peak meters
display compressor gain
reduction and output levels
Compressor-Limiter
Fully featured classic
compressor-limiter with
attack, release, threshold,
ratio, link, compression
mode, parallel blend,
make-up gain, HPF side
chain and master engage
LMF EQ
+/- 15dB gain from 70 to
1400Hz, with continuously
variable Q from 0.7 to 5.0
De-esser
Multi-variable de-esser
tuned with the HMF
frequency and Q controls
(EQ adjustments may be
made simultaneously with EQ
level control)
Blend
A parallel matrix providing
continuously variable control
to mix compressed and
uncompressed signals
