Another modern feature we appreciate is the Blend control for instant parallel compression. The Successor is also equipped with Carnhill transformer-coupled balanced inputs and outputs, ready to add warmth, girth, and authority to any sound source, for some of the sweetest vintage-flavored compression we've heard in this price range at Sweetwater. Frequency Response: 10Hz–30kHz (±1dB) Compression threshold: From -20 to +20dBu, on stepped pot Compression ratios: 1.5:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 6:1, Limit, on stepped switch Attack: Selectable from 50us (ultra-fast, great for slamming drums) to 20mS (slow, good for maintaining natural dynamic range in full mixes) Attack Values: 50uS, .2mS, .5mS, 2mS, 5mS and 20mS, on stepped switch Release: Selectable from 25mS (ultra-fast) to automatic times. Release Values: 25, 50, 100mS, Auto1 and Auto 2 Sidechain filter: Complex filter comprising 3 second order highpass filters (at 100, 300, and 5000Hz) and 2 bell-type pre equalizers at 800 and 3000Hz. Sidechain has a smooth 50Hz roll-off which is added to the sidechain filter selector, preventing sub low frequencies from riding the compression Gain Makeup: Up to 10dB in 2dB steps on stepped, 6-way switch Blend Control: Switchable On/Off, from fully processed sound (Wet) to unprocessed (Dry) on stepped pot External Sidechain: Sidechain send and return jacks, switchable On/Off Heritage Audio Successor Stereo Bus Compressor Features: True stereo operation on single controls with matched gain cells for extremely tight left/right tracking and near-zero offset between channels Oxford mode compression tracking (loudest signal controls compression) Carnhill transformer-coupled balanced inputs and outputs for rich character and vintage vibe Vintage-style Class A output stages bring the coveted sound of classic British diode-bridge compression to your drum or mix buses Diode-bridge based compression favors desirable 2nd-order harmonic distortion characteristics and true vintage tone while eliminating unpleasant odd-order harmonic content Ultra-fast attack and release time options not found in vintage designs permit more flexible settings, including FET-like behavior and volume maximizing without transient artifacts Versatile sidechain filtering options elaborate on the obligatory highpass filters, introducing mid-band peaking filters and high-frequency compression, allowing bus dynamics shaping heretofore not possible Sidechain Send and Return jacks allow for external sidechain signals or further external processing of internal signal Blend control offers onboard parallel compression without any external equipment; Blend On/Off button allows for instant comparison in-between wet and dry signals Stepped controls for easy settings recall High-quality analog Gain Reduction meter SpecificationDetail Type Class A Compressor Number of Channels Stereo Controls Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Side Chain Filter, Make up, Blend Threshold -20dB to +20dB Ratio 1.5:1 to 20:1 Frequency Response 10Hz-30kHz (±1dB) Inputs 2 x XLR Outputs 2 x XLR Sidechain I/O 2 x 1/4" (send), 2 x 1/4" (return) Side Chain Inserts Highpass Filter, Mid-band Filter Rack Spaces 1U Power Source 5-pin Power Supply (included) Height 1.75" Width 19" RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
