Transpressor
Use
• Live and in the studio as an ultraversatile and multifunctional one-channel dynamic
processing tool.
• Link function for stereo processing with two units.
Applications
• Comprehensive corrective and creative dynamic processing for all sorts of instruments
and vocals.
• The use of both modules is specially suited for processing dynamic signals like percus-
sion instruments, bass, guitar, piano, etc.
• As a Transient Designer
• As a compressor
Special Technical Features
• One of the Transpressor’s most characteristic features is the Double VCA circuitry used in
the compressor and, for the first time, also in the Transient Designer. A differential stage
reduces side effects (clicks and plops) and the half load per VCA dramatically reduces
THD.
• The operational amplifiers for the compressor circuitry have very low DC offsets and
meet high-precision measurement standards. Therefore, control voltages are extremely
precise — a prerequisite for high-quality signal processing.
• High-grade Burr-Brown operational amplifiers in the input and output stages.
• Central star grounding minimizes interferences and other negative effects that could
affect the ground paths. This leads to a ”cleaner” — in the truest sense of the word —
sound quality..
