Full Description

Live or studio - the tools you need

Whether you mix live or in the studio, compression is a must have tool for producers and engineers. Getting the most out of your sound - presentations, music, worship - a well-compressed signal can take your performances from ok to great. With just a twist of a dial experience the power that compression has on your audio.

Dynamic control over your music and sound gives you much more polished output and this helps with audience comprehension and enjoyment. Smooth out uneven levels, add sustain to guitars, and fatten up drums. Bring out vocals and add clarity to your mixes. All the tools featured on this rack mountable unit operate in similar ways but bring out different elements in your audio - helping you craft the ideal sound.
