Fair Comp / M/S Fair Comp / Dual Fair Comp
This classic tube compressor not only achieves record bids in high-end
vintage gear auctions, it also delivers some of the nest colourations in
compressor history. Two small trim VRs preset the control side chain action, a
six-step switch determines the timing, and the two large Input and Threshold
knobs adjust the levels. Our FAIR COMPRESSOR model is true to the original signal
path, and conveniently provides models for dual, stereo-linked or M/S operation.
Inspired by Fairchild 670.
INPUT GAIN determines how much of the input signal passes through the eect.
ACTIVE toggles the eect in or out of the signal path. THRESHOLD determines
how loud the signal has to be before compression is applied. TIME switches the
compression’s release time. BIAS changes the simulated tube bias algorithm.
OUT GAIN aects the gain of the output signal.
Stereo Leisure Comp / Dual Leisure Comp
The immaculate tube signal path in this Levelling Amplier has left its
exceptional clarity, its rich and warm compression on countless albums of
the past decades. The ultra-smooth optical attenuator is closely modelled
in our LA COMPRESSOR. It provides breezing, natural and eortlessly
musical compression. Inspired by Teletronix LA-2A.
GAIN determines how much of the input signal passes through the eect.
ACTIVE toggles the eect in or out of the signal path. COMP/LIMIT determines
whether the eect acts as a compressor or a limiter. OUTPUT GAIN aects the
gain of the output signal. Increasing PEAK REDUCTION means that only the
signal peaks are reduced in level.
Stereo Ultimo Comp / Dual Ultimo Comp
This classic compressor was one of the rst audio processors to use Field Eect
Transistors. Our digital reincarnation, ULTIMO COMPRESSOR, is based on the
early Rev. E model and authentically captures the smooth character of the
original class-A output stage and its FET’s legendary Fast Attack. Inspired by
Urei 1176LN.
INPUT GAIN, OUT GAIN, ATTACK, RELEASE and RATIO all work as per standard
compressor functions. With the Dual Compressor, functions for each of the
channels are split between Layers 1 and 2.
Dual Enhancer / Stereo Enhancer
The M32’s Enhancers are so called ‘Psycho EQs’. They can enhance the signal
spectrum in bass, midrange and high frequencies, but they dier from
traditional EQs. When you need to generate maximum punch, clarity and
detail, without turning up the overall volume, our enhancers are the solution.
Inspired by the SPL Vitalizer.
Adjust the BASS, MID and HI GAIN push encoders to add or reduce content in
those spectrums. The BASS and HI FREQ(uencies) can be specically selected,
while the MID Q (bandwidth) can be adjusted instead. The OUT GAIN push
encoder compensates for changes in level resulting from the eect, and SPREAD
(stereo version only) emphasises the stereo content for a wider mix. Engage the
SOLO MODE to isolate only the audio resulting from the eect so you can hear
exactly what you’re adding to the mix.
