DN530 Creative Quad Gate Introduction With the unrelenting absorption of signal processing into digital mixing consoles, outboard gear now has to contribute something extra special merely to justify its space in the rack. The new DN530 Creative Quad Gate does just that. It brings some exciting new tools to the audio party. The DN530 features “Transient Accenting”, a creative feature providing an easy way to enhance the attack envelope beyond merely opening the gate.
DN540 Creative Quad Compressor Introduction Compressors were originally devised to reduce the dynamic range of audio signals. To do this they use gain modification that makes adjustments to signal levels automatically, dependant on the level and dynamic of the signal itself and upon the character and control settings of the particular compressor unit. Throughout the history of dynamics processing many different types of compressor have been produced using many different types of gain technology.
reinforcement because when the instrument is silent and the compressor relaxes there is no gain reduction; but the upper frequency boost remains, increasing noise and making microphonic feedback much more likely. The Dynamic Enhancement in the DN540 was developed to correct for the loss of detail and intelligibility during the compression process, but without changing the tonality of uncompressed programme.
DN540 Architect’s & Engineer’s Specification The Compressor shall provide four (4) complete channels of creative presence-accentuating compression in a standard 1U 19” rack mount chassis. Each channel shall have an electronically-balanced input and output on 3-pin XLR connectors.
