Their products' high level of performance does indeed belie the affordable prices, but things really get interesting when you realize just how they've set bar. Peak detection engages compression by monitoring instantaneous peak voltage signals, while RMS looks at the average energy in signal and compares it to threshold setting. Basing detection on a voltage control amplifier VCA, and designing circuit that provides low noise transparency, the team created device does an excellent job of gluing your mixes together while delivering elusive punch perceived loudness makes mix blast out speakers. If you are using a Side Chain signal as compression trigger, can tune the High pass Filter to avoid pumping effects.
These are very different modes of operation that provide ideal solutions for specific problems. Fully balanced output stage. Sweet waters 2-year warranty.
Peak or RMS detection. Soft/Hard Knee let's you switch between a gentler compression onset and faster more akin to limiting. voltage Control Amplifier VCA based detection circuit.
VU Meter monitors input, output, or gain reduction. Enhanced control set: The Chameleon Labs 7721 gives you an enhanced set with all the classic settings in addition to controls usually found only on esoteric compressors. Free tech support from audio experts.
Side Chain input for secondary trigger source. Peak/RMS Detection let's you switch between Peak and RMS detection schemes that behave quite differently. Lastly, a VU Meter is provided with switch to select between Left or Right Inputs, Outputs, Gain Reduction. Traditional Threshold, Attack, Release, and Ratio controls are provided, as well a Dry/Wet Blend control that allows you to mix the original uncompressed signal with compressed at output for instant parallel processing.
Delectable High pass Filter. Analog audio for the digital age: Sweet water is pleased to have Chameleon Labs in our stable of exceptional manufacturers. Inviting comparisons with legendary 70s-era British console modules is not for the faint of heart, however, that name game at Chameleon Labs.
