8 Channel Dual-Mode Compressor/Gate with

iTS Hysteresis and Flexible Channel Linking

Compressors/Limiters

SQ1D

A veritable tool box of dynamics

processing, SQ1D provides 8 channels

of either compression or gating in a

compact 3U high rack unit. This tightly

integrated form factor allows the

channels to be used together with

ease, and includes highly  exible

options for channel linking and

side chain  ltering and monitoring.

SQ1D features multiple compression

modes with combinations of RMS

and Peak sensing and Hard and Soft Knee characteristics, ideal for both

corrective and creative dynamics processing. In conjunction with the fully-

featured noise gate and side chain options, one SQ1D can replace multiple

other dynamics processors with considerable savings in space, weight

and cost, with the con dence of knowing that whatever the application,

SQ1D is more than capable of providing the required dynamic control of

signal levels.

High-performance frequency-

selective compression and gating

with comprehensive control options

Intelligent Threshold Shift (iTS)

gate hysteresis to avoid re-triggering

by low frequency signals

Flexible channel linking allows

multiple combinations of side chain

summing to preserve stereo images

Solo bus allows monitoring of the

side chain control signals without

a ecting channel outputs

RMS and “Vintage” peak-sensing

compressor modes

Soft or hard knee

compressor response

Side chain band-pass  lter allows

frequency-selective compression or

gating for creative and

corrective control

External side chain input on

balanced ¼ " TRS connector for

each channel

Electronically balanced inputs and

outputs on Neutrik* XLR connectors

Rugged 3U rackmount chassis for

durability in portable applications

Auto-ranging universal switch-mode

power supply

Product Information Document Compressors/Limiters SQ1D 8 Channel Dual-Mode Compressor/Gate with iTS Hysteresis and Flexible Channel Linking Intelligent Threshold Shift (iTS) iTs operates in conjunction with the Gate Hold control to reduce false triggering of noise gates. When signals (especially low frequency ones) are very close to the gate threshold, a gate can repeatedly open and close on the programme material.
