LOW THD, F/B, 4K MODE
3 different sonic options for shaping the overall sound of the
compressor. LOW THD provides a cleaner bottom-end, F/B offers a
more 'relaxed' style of compression and 4K MODE adds character and
variable harmonic content.
MORE RATIO OPTIONS
Expanding on the classic RATIO settings, are
new options perfect for Mastering (1.3:1, 1.5:1)
and creative effects (-2.5, -1.5 and -0.5), as well
as all the classic mix bus ratios.
HONE THE TIME CONSTANTS
More ATTACK and RELEASE options than
ever before. Try .05s RELEASE on drums or
AUTO 2 on a mix.

compression.
D-EQ
2-band Dynamic EQ with LF and HF bands. Push the
knob to engage and then turn left to start compressing
or right to start expanding. Tri-colour LEDs provide
feedback on the amount of processing being applied.
Push and hold the knob and then use the +/- buttons
in the centre of the unit to adjust the Frequency and
Range settings for that band.
