Description
The Smart Research C2 compressor houses two independant mono compressors, or in STEREO mode, the left-hand controls operate both audio channels, with the right-hand controls not used, giving true Stereo operation.
Smart Research C2 Features:
- Fast attack and limit settings for protective limiting.
- Crush mode gives f.e.t ‘overcompression’ with tailored frequency response, and higher distortion, for ‘huge’ dynamic effects.
- External sidechain inputs, (for ducking etc.)
- Power fail bypass for broadcast or live sound.
- Ratios 1.5:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 10:1 and Limit.
- Attack 0, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, and 30 m/sec.
- Release 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, and 2.4 seconds.Options:
- External fader level control input, (to order) (stereo mastering etc).
- Extra dual channel slave units, for multichannel applications, (film / surround formats etc.).
- Optional:
- Sidechain Smart Research C2 HPF-Y, reduces sensitivity to low frequency compression. The C2 input is split through 150Hz -6dB/octave High Pass filter to feed the External Sidechain input. The C2 operates as normal, untill the ‘External Sidechain’ switches selected. (External signals can still be connected if required, with or without the filters).
- External fader level control input, (to order) (stereo mastering etc).
- Extra dual channel slave units, for multichannel applications, (film / surround formats etc.)
Circuitry:
- New generation of Voltage Controlled Amplifiers.
- High slew rate amplifiers, with hybrid f.e.t/ transistor inputs (Analog Devices).
- High current push-pull transistor outputs.
- Total symmetry throughout signal path.
- No electrolytic capacitors used in main signal path.
- All inputs and outputs balanced.
