The unique character and spirit of the Compex can be heard on many classic recordings (think of that huge, commanding drum sound on \u003cem\u003eWhen the Levee Breaks\u003c\/em\u003e by Led Zeppelin, for instance). With painstaking attention to detail, Q2 Audio has masterfully reproduced the exact circuit design of the original Compex, with a handful of new features and updated components.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Functionally, the new Compex has all the same features and settings as the original unit, employing the same super-flexible FET-based compression, limiting and gating. Switchable threshold, compression ratio, and attack\/release times are available with all the same settings and a stereo link switch is provided for linking the two channels together for operation in stereo. An all-new external side-chain insert has been added to the new Compex, letting you feed the detector circuit of the compressor with an independent sound source. The side-chain insert can be set to control the gate circuit, instead, by simply switching over an internal jumper. The limit section has a switchable 50us \"pre-emphasis\" setting in addition to the normal “on” position. Pre-emphasis was originally used for limiting high frequencies to prevent over-modulation during broadcast use. Pre-emphasis boosts the high frequencies entering the limiter side-chain, acting as a de-esser causing limiting action on sibilant high frequencies. The compressor side-chain insert is useful for adding an EQ to the side-chain audio signal to create \"vocal stresser\" type frequency-dependent compression effects or inserting another audio source for “ducking\".\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Improving upon some of the components and build-quality concerns of the original Compex, a high-quality meter has been employed (replacing the discontinued Sifam™ Director 14 meter) and the original “ABC” cards have been combined to a single PCB to allow for more efficient manufacturing. Also, some slight alterations have been made to the calibration functions to help the unit maintain calibration over a longer period of time. The original potentiometers were an open frame design which became noisy as time wore on, the re-issue has sealed conductive plastic potentiometers to improve the usable life-span.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With a wide range of features and functions, the new ADR Compex by Q2 Audio can meet the needs of any dynamic-processing task, adding a character and flavor all its own. Those familiar with the original Compex will be pleased to see how faithfully recreated this reincarnate really is, with a few enhancements and updates to make one of the best compressor\/limiters just that much better.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eClassic FET based compression\/peak limiting\/gating, all available individually\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitchable compression ratios - 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 5:1, 10:1, 20:1\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitchable compression threshold in 2dB steps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitchable attack times - 250µs, 2.5ms, 25ms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwitchable release times ranging from 25ms to 3.2s plus \"auto\" setting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeak limiting (100:1) with switchable 50µs pre-emphasis setting (useful for de-essing)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExpander\/gate with 20dB of noise reduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompressor side-chain insert (can be internally modded to control the gate, instead)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStereo linkable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwiss-made ELMA™ rotary switches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConductive plastic potentiometers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWord on the Street:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003eThe F760X-RS is an advanced analog processor that will increase apparent loudness\/record audio levels yet provide reliable overload protection.

An all-new external side-chain insert has been added to the new Compex, letting you feed the detector circuit of the compressor with an independent sound source. The side-chain insert can be set to control the gate circuit, instead, by simply switching over an internal jumper. The limit section has a switchable 50us \"pre-emphasis\" setting in addition to the normal \"on\" position. Pre-emphasis was originally used for limiting high frequencies to prevent over-modulation during broadcast use. Pre-emphasis boosts the high frequencies entering the limiter side-chain, acting as a de-esser causing limiting action on sibilant high frequencies. The compressor side-chain insert is useful for adding an EQ to the side-chain audio signal to create \"vocal stresser\" type frequency-dependent compression effects or inserting another audio source for \"ducking\".\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003eImproving upon some of the components and build-quality concerns of the original Compex, a high-quality meter has been employed (replacing the discontinued Sifam™ Director 14 meter) and the original \"ABC\" cards have been combined to a single PCB to allow for more efficient manufacturing.

The limit section has a switchable 50us \"pre-emphasis\" setting in addition to the normal \"on\" position. Pre-emphasis was originally used for limiting high frequencies to prevent over-modulation during broadcast use. Pre-emphasis boosts the high frequencies entering the limiter side-chain, acting as a de-esser causing limiting action on sibilant high frequencies.
