Unlike other dynamic devices, the processing is not governed by the signal level but rather by its dynamic envelope, so all signals (loud and soft) are processed equally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith no effort you can accelerate or slow down attack and prolong or shorten sustain portions of all kinds of percussive signals, such as bass drum, snares, toms, congas, etc. Let them jump into your face or flatten them with a turn of a single knob. Booming toms for example are dried up in seconds - it's almost like being able to change the amount of drum damping after the recording. Your idea of a kick drum sound is a kick drum in the words best sense? Just dial it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same applies to virtually any other signal: Amplify or reduce the picking sound of an acoustic guitar, hold the sound of the strings longer, reduce the reverb time of a choir, actuate the piano pedal \"electronically\", turn down the slap bass a notch or give it even more attack, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stereo operation the Link function connects channel pairs (1 and 2 and\/or 3 and 4). Linked channels are controlled by the same side-chain voltage so as to maintain a coherent and stable stereo image. When operating in Link-mode, the control elements of the first (or third) channel, including the Active switch, control the second (or fourth) channel, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach channel is equipped with a relay hard bypass circuit to ensure a minimum signal path when the process is bypassed and to provide power fail safety. The Signal-LEDs allow to quickly monitor the signal flow, which is particularly important if the four channels are connected to a patchbay. The Transient Designer is fitted with XLR-connectors for balanced operation. To improve signal quality, SPL has developed a new hybrid-component balanced input\/output stage using all laser-trimmed resistors with a tolerance of 0.01%. This approach has resulted in an exceptionally high CCMR (common mode rejection) better than -80dB at 1kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntroducing TD4 Mk2\u003cbr\u003e\nFrom 2023, SPL's Mark Two variant of the Transient Designer features a new black anodised faceplate, upgraded housing and PCB and aluminium milled knobs for even better feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e\nNominal Input Level +6dB\u003cbr\u003e\nInput Impedance = 22kOhms\u003cbr\u003e\nOutput Impedance \u0026lt; 600Ohms\u003cbr\u003e\nMax Input Level +24dBu\u003cbr\u003e\nMax Output Level +22,4dBu\u003cbr\u003e\nMinimum Load 600Ohms\u003cbr\u003e\nFrequency Response 20 Hz - 100 kHz (100 kHz = -3 dB)\u003cbr\u003e\nCommon Mode Rejection - 80dBu @1kHz\u003cbr\u003e\nTHD 0.004% @1kHz\u003cbr\u003e\nSNR -89dBu (CCIR 468-3), -105dBu (A-weighted)\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions 482 x 44 x 237mm (WxHxD), 3.4kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57959385104767,"sku":"SP-TD4MK2","price":1025.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"spl-des-sp-des-ab","title":"SPL DeS","description":"\u003cp\u003eDe-Esser Tech Talk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDe-Essing by Phase Cancellation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSPL has developed a circuit technology that combines efficient de-essing with maximum ease of use.

The SPL De-Esser monitors the S-frequency spectrum and automatically detects the sibilant frequencies. The de-ess bandwidth is set so narrowly around the range of the sibilance that neighbouring frequencies remain unaffected. Input processed via this frequency band is mixed back into the main signal phase-inverted so that only the S-sounds are cancelled where the S-reduction controller determines the intensity of the phase-cancelled mix. The result is a neutral, unobtrusive and extremely effective de-essing process. Even at high S-reduction values the de-essing has a negligible effect on the character and timbre of the voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRounding out the amazingly simple control system is an automatic threshold-adjusting function.

He found a series of mods done to the unit over the years to keep it working that miraculously cumulated in a uniquely beast-like 1176!

But that's not where it ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe NAIL's tube circuitry and components were specifically chosen and designed to impart the rich, euphonic sound of analog to digital recording - enabling it to confidently \"ride\" the 2-bus in a place of prominence. And while the NAIL can add character to any sound, it can also work transparently in the background - all at the engineer's discretion. Not just for the 2-bus, its ability to switch from linked stereo to dual mono makes it a great tracking compressor as well. Better still, on a stereo mix, using dual mono offers the added bonus of making the mix sound wider, as though it extends beyond the left\/right boundaries of the speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThreshold, Hard Threshold and Variable Sidechain Filter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUpon inspecting the NAIL's highly attractive custom-milled aluminum knobs and faceplate, you'll notice the absence of a ratio control. In its place are Threshold and Hard Threshold. With Hard Threshold turned off, Threshold acts much like an LA-2A by increasing gain reduction. Attack and release controls become somewhat irrelevant in this mode and the NAIL becomes a model of simplicity; set its threshold and gain, and let the NAIL work its magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who like to dig deeper, Hard Threshold opens up a world of compression-\/envelope-shaping possibilities. Like the hard knee of a traditional compressor, Hard Threshold works in conjunction with the Filter, which is a variable high-pass filter continuously controllable from 8Hz to 250Hz. Once the Hard Threshold is crossed, the NAIL will apply desired compression above the selected frequency, and less to the frequencies below. This prevents the greater energy of bass from triggering unwanted compression and ducking the entire mix. Filter also lets you enhance bottom end for bass-heavy music without throwing the mix's entire frequency spectrum out of whack, as a multi-band compressor often does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePut simply, the combination of Threshold, Hard Threshold, and Filter allow you to dial in amount of compression, at what level it will engage, and above which frequencies it will act. Ratio is always self-adjusting in response to program material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAttack, Release, Gain and Metering\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HM2 NAIL's remaining continuously variable controls include Attack, Release, and Gain, which function as expected. However, Attack and Release are dependent on the settings of the Hard Threshold and also respond dynamically to program material, making for a more forgiving and musical response than traditional \"once size fits all\" attack\/release circuits. Other functions include compressor In\/Out for quick A\/B comparison; Stereo Link\/Dual Mono; and Gain Reduction\/Level for metering, all controlled via toggle switch. Speaking of meters, the NAIL's LED meter was chosen for it's ultra fast response and the ability to see it clearly from across a dark-lit control room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMix Control\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HM2 NAIL's Mix knob offers continuously variable control between direct (dry) and compressed signal. Particularly useful for DAW mixing, Mix enables you to apply parallel compression to a submix without losing two channels of A\/D\/A for an aux send\/return. And of course, you can also use it on an overall mix to add size and depth, or during tracking.

It's one of a very select few audio tools that enhances sound simply by running signal through it, thanks in part to an ingenious filtering system that passes musical 2nd order tube harmonics while eliminating unwanted noise - just the heating blanket your DAW needs. It's also ideal for adding \"air\" to vocals, carefully crafted punch to instruments or just the right texture to an overall mix; plus, a major benefit of its innovative design is the ability to push it as hard as you like - it's nearly impossible to make it sound bad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HAMMER 2 couldn't be easier to use. Its overall frequency range covers 30Hz to 40kHz. Each channel features six detented rotary controls: three frequency selector knobs (Lo, Mid, Hi) which are stepped switches for easy recall, each with an accompanying gain knob providing continuously variable boost or cut of 12dB. Each band has a selectable center frequency, and overlaps with the other bands in such a way that makes for a seamless transition throughout the entire spectrum. Each channel also features individual toggle switches for EQ In\/Out as well as Lo Cut (84Hz) and Hi Cut (8kHZ), filters that allow engineers to perform utilitarian EQ chores while still being able to bring the full power of The Hammer's three bands to bear. Mainly intended as a \"broad stroke\" equalizer, the HM2EQ's bandwidth (Q) is self-adjusting (floating), based on a combination of the amount of gain applied and the dynamics and frequency content of the program material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hammer's unique ability to have its Q \"move with the music\" is one the keys to its incredible musical performance, and is another reason why it's difficult to make the Hammer sound bad at any frequency or gain setting. Along with its innovative tube-harmonic filtering circuit, a pair of carefully selected 12AT7 tubes (offering the most consistent control of any tube) and a custom heavy duty toroidal power transformer add the final touches to the Hammer's signal path.Like its twin - the A-Designs \"Nail\" compressor - the Hammer features a black, custom-milled, brushed faceplate sporting custom-milled aluminium control knobs, a heavy-duty Carling toggle power switch, and a big blue jewel power indicator lamp- overall, a stunning combination of modern-retro looks that jump out of the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hammer is an inspired design whose sonic signature is far greater than the sum of its components. Perfectly happy in tracking applications or as an insert effect on individual channels, it is the ultimate full-range finishing device for sub-mixes and master outputs.

The original Fairchild has indeed been an essential part of the sound to so many hits during several decades.. It certainly has earned its title as the ´grandaddy´ of all compressors. Being based around 22 tubes and 9 transformers you can be sure the HERCHILD Model 670 will imprint its signature sound all over your tracks providing that familiar tone that we've all come to love. Although it was originally designed to be used for cutting lacquer masters for vinyl albums it didn't take long for engineers to realise that it could do much more. It soon became an essential studio tool for many innovative artists, engineers and producers and could be found in most professional studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs there were only about 500 units originally produced there just simply aren't enough to go around for everybody.

First off we've given direct access to the continuously variable slope control (DC Threshold). This is something that makes the compressor so much more flexible and was only available on the original via an inconvenient screw adjustment hidden from immediate access. Then there's the SC FILTER. Nowadays, it's just about impossible to fathom a compressor without this feature as it's become so important in everyday use. Here we've provided 4 different frequencies to choose from to precisely tailor your compression needs. We've also faithfully reproduced the exact attack and release times in the Time Constant section so you can confidently recreate the feel of its ancestor. The HERCHILD Model 670 is a two channel unit so you have the option to use them independently or linked together. There are actually 4 modes of operation: Individual, Link(Stereo), LAT\/VERT(MID\/SIDE) \u0026amp; LAT\/VERT Link. Using the LAT\/VERT mode provides a whole new world of options to your mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo finally, after so many years of this being unobtainable to mere mortals, the HERCHILD Model 670 is here and within reach of everyone.

The unique character and spirit of the Compex can be heard on many classic recordings (think of that huge, commanding drum sound on When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin, for instance). With painstaking attention to detail, Q2 Audio has masterfully reproduced the exact circuit design of the original Compex, with a handful of new features and updated components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFunctionally, the new Compex has all the same features and settings as the original unit, employing the same super-flexible FET-based compression, limiting and gating. Switchable threshold, compression ratio, and attack\/release times are available with all the same settings and a stereo link switch is provided for linking the two channels together for operation in stereo. An all-new external side-chain insert has been added to the new Compex, letting you feed the detector circuit of the compressor with an independent sound source. The side-chain insert can be set to control the gate circuit, instead, by simply switching over an internal jumper. The limit section has a switchable 50us \"pre-emphasis\" setting in addition to the normal \"on\" position. Pre-emphasis was originally used for limiting high frequencies to prevent over-modulation during broadcast use. Pre-emphasis boosts the high frequencies entering the limiter side-chain, acting as a de-esser causing limiting action on sibilant high frequencies. The compressor side-chain insert is useful for adding an EQ to the side-chain audio signal to create \"vocal stresser\" type frequency-dependent compression effects or inserting another audio source for \"ducking\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImproving upon some of the components and build-quality concerns of the original Compex, a high-quality meter has been employed (replacing the discontinued Sifam Director 14 meter) and the original \"ABC\" cards have been combined to a single PCB to allow for more efficient manufacturing. Also, some slight alterations have been made to the calibration functions to help the unit maintain calibration over a longer period of time. The original potentiometers were an open frame design which became noisy as time wore on, the re-issue has sealed conductive plastic potentiometers to improve the usable life-span.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a wide range of features and functions, the new ADR Compex by Q2 Audio can meet the needs of any dynamic-processing task, adding a character and flavour all its own. Those familiar with the original Compex will be pleased to see how faithfully recreated this reincarnate really is, with a few enhancements and updates to make one of the best compressor\/limiters just that much better.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Q2 Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57959630864767,"sku":"50206","price":3149.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"wes-audio-beta76-open-box-50109","title":"Wes Audio Beta76 (Open Box)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe WesAudio Beta76 is a continuation of the WesAudio 1176 compressor.

The original Fairchild has indeed been an essential part of the sound to so many hits during several decades. It certainly has earned its title as the ´grandaddy´ of all compressors. Being based around 11 valves and 5 transformers you can be sure the HERCHILD Model 660 will imprint its signature sound all over your tracks providing that familiar tone that we've all come to love. Although it was originally designed to be used for cutting lacquer masters for vinyl albums it didn't take long for engineers to realise that it could do much more.

Not only is it equipped with an easy-to-navigate touch screen, but moving forward, Final Touch mixes can also be shared among API consoles that feature Final Touch. For example, now you can record tracks on a 1608-II console and Final Touch allows you to mix those tracks on a Legacy AXS or Vision console.
