P1 Audio Processor Features
Advanced audio compressor with peakride which utilises multiple
side-chains allowing the compressor to ‘ride’ the crests of the audio
so that control of fast audio peaks, especially vocals, may be as fast
as desired whilst release from compression compliments the natural
decay of the audio waveform. Exceptionally low levels of ripple
distortion.
Limiter featuring multi-stage dynamic threshold control which
provides a very high degree of overload protection without the
undesirable side effects of traditional ‘brick wall’ limiters.
The limiter has three side-chains each utilising zero delay ‘look
ahead’ dynamic control of limiter threshold. This allows the ‘natural’
limiter threshold to be dynamically adjusted to match the dynamics of
the incoming audio signal and provides for very safe control of
maximum audio level without the need for ultra fast attack times; all
accomplished with 100% analogue processing.
Single knob expander with ‘follow-audio’ release time which tracks
the natural decay of the audio; useful for post recording noise
reduction and adding punch to drum sounds.
High quality balanced microphone input using the latest THAT 1510
input stage.
Balanced line input.
High impedance (1 M) instrument input.
Balanced line output offering +21dBu drive capability.
Balanced and unbalanced stereo monitor inputs with separate
source level control providing zero latency headphone monitoring of
the source/replay mix.
100% linear internal mains power supply (throw away those wall
warts for good!)
