What exactly is parallel compression? We’re glad you asked! Parallel compression is a studio technique used to compress strong transients, such as tambourines and snares, without causing vocals and other lower-volume signals to duck and disappear. When using parallel compression with the Solo VLA, it automatically splits your signal into two. The first signal (dry) is completely uncompressed; the second signal (wet) is fully compressed. Then, you use the blend knob to combine the wet and dry signals to taste. Try parallel compression on your next song and get excellent results right away.ART Solo VLA Multi-voice Tube Optical Compressor Features: Built-in tube imbues the signal with a warm character Selectable multi-voice operation gives you plenty of sounds to work with Parallel compression blend knob blends the wet and dry signals to taste Adjustable threshold and ratio controls determine volume reduction Separate attack and release controls tailor the behavior of the compressor XLR and 1/4-inch I/O effortlessly integrate into any setup Backlit function switches make it easy to operate the unit in low-light conditions Mastering-quality signal path offers a low-noise design SpecificationDetail Type Multivoice Tube/Opto Compressor Number of Channels Single Channel Controls Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release Threshold -30dB to +20dB Ratio 1.25:1 to 20:1 EQ Flexible Tilt Frequency Response 20Hz-80Hz (+0dB/-1dB) Inputs 1 x XLR, 1 x 1/4" Outputs 1 x XLR, 1 x 1/4" Rack Spaces 1U Power Source Standard IEC AC Input Height 1.75" Depth 6" Width 19" Weight 5.6 lbs RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
