The sheer amount of effects
and signal processors necessary for today's standards of
audio production puts a great strain on the available space
in equipment racks, both in the studio and on the road.
So, ARX would like to introduce the ARX
Quadcomp®II. An all-new upgrade of the
classic award-winning ARX Quadcomp®, the very
first four channel 1 RU compressor.
You’ll notice that we haven’t strayed very far
from our original design concept. The Quadcomp
II is still four variable ratio Compressor/
Limiters neatly housed in a compact all steel 1 RU package.
However, all new low noise/low distortion circuitry, better
metering plus XLR inputs and outputs put the Quadcomp II in
a class of its own.
More
Control, Less Space
On the front panel,
each channel has the 'industry standard' individual controls
for Threshold, Compression Ratio and Output, plus a new 7
LED Gain Reduction display for accurate visual indication of
the amount of gain reduction being applied to the program,
and an IN/OUT hardwire bypass switch.
In addition to this, each channel has a blank numbered panel
to write on for easy confirmation of compressor
assigns.
Precision
Circuitry
Internally, each
compressor uses Class A VCAs and true 2 pole averaging
RMS/DC converters for low distortion and accuracy, plus
program dependent attack and release time, which
automatically determines optimum compressor
response.
Balanced
Inputs and Outputs
The rear panel has
true differential Balanced XLR Inputs and Outputs for each
compressor. Each compressor has a TRS jack Sidechain access
insert point, for frequency sensitive compression,
De-essing, etc. in conjunction with an external equalizer
(such as the ARX EQ260).
Compressor pairs 1 and 2, 3 and 4 also have rear panel
mounted Stereo Link switches for accurate stereo tracking.
When switched IN, the first channel becomes the master and
controls all the functions of the second except Output
gain.
Universal
AC Power
AC power range is
switchable 100 to 120V, or 220 to 240V, and is connected to
the unit via a standard IEC connector, with built-in fuse
and voltage switch.
Whatever the application – Channel insert, Bus insert,
Master Outputs, Monitor outputs, Crossover outputs, the
Quadcomp II’s unique High Density design,
precision Low Noise circuitry and clean uncluttered layout
make it a truly useful audio tool for all
applications.
You'll never compromise on
Quality when you choose ARX
