Both audio paths are 'sensed', the result processed, and then acted on equally to eliminate image shift (so a 'peak' on either channel results in the compression of both). By extension of this method, in a multichannel system, the master set of controls can be interlinked to sense and control any number of audio channels where image shift would otherwise be a problem. When 'stereo'or 'left master' mode is selected, the left hand front panel controls become the masters for all channels in the system.\u003cp\u003eA multichannel system comprises a master C2 or C2M unit, to which is added one additional remote controlled 1RU audio rack per pair of extra channels needed. A four channel system would therefore need one master C2 (or C2M), and one C2R (remote C2). The system can be extended as needed, for more or less channels, or the additional channels unplugged and the master unit used on its own functioning as a normal unit (the only difference being that the 'sidechain' XLR connectors on the rear panel are changed to multipin types for additional control lines to and from the C2R chain). As an example for film mix formats this can be used to build a system with three interlinked channels for L-C-R to avoid image shifting, with suround L-R handled by a second pair of channels. Sub bass can be either processed separately or combined with the surround channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis approach has been adopted for two reasons: first as the most adaptable in allowing for different choices of mix formats and the ability for additional C2R channel capacity to 'float' between control rooms or be purchased as needed, and second because of being able to offer the C2R unit at a more reasonable sale price than a complete unit. In allowing for the above configuration, we have also provided for further customisation. The master C2 unit has an external fader input, and we would be happy to discuss any further modifications required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smart Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449248116839,"sku":"1078","price":1825.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/smart-research-c2r-slave-unit_1078_1.jpg?v=1787088302"},{"product_id":"smart-research-2-tools","title":"Smart Research 2-Tools","description":"The \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSmart Research 2Tools Interface\u003c\/span\u003e is a simple solution for working on ProTools projects in SSL Studios. 2Tools allows the console's automation system to control and locate ProTools, etc via midi (or Sony 9-pin) and vice versa, as if it were a parallel tape machine.","brand":"Smart Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449260994663,"sku":"723","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/smart_research_2_tools.jpg?v=1787088349"},{"product_id":"smart-research-deluxe-d-i-box","title":"Smart Research Deluxe D.I.

For instance, one guitar feeding down long cables to 3 amps in a different area, without hums or change of tone. Includes: Balanced line driver for long cables; speaker level D.i input, and one unity gain Di Box\/Splitter for two D.i or Amp feeds. Conceived at Real World Studios, to solve the problem of a guitarist wanting to play in the control room and have amplifiers set up in a live room sometimes several hundred feet away. Prototypes were also used at Virgin\/ EMI Townhouse and Manor studios. Since then producers and artists such as Tom Lord Alge, Peter Gabriel, Paul Weller, and Tears for Fears have bought systems. Four systems were used to cure problems for Peter Gabriel's live show, where two stages had to be inter -connected with 300 feet of cable carrying guitar signals from radios to effects pedals on both stages and back to amps on the main stage without degradation, (allowing each stage to be patched independently). The system comprises a TRANSMIT box and RECEIVE box. The TRANSMIT box has a high impedance input and line driver, which will drive long cables to the RECEIVE box input, which feeds the Di\/splitter giving two isolated outputs.(In the Deluxe version, there are two Di\/splitters in both the TRANSMIT and RECEIVE boxes, giving 8 isolated outputs) In addition, the RECEIVE unit has a speaker simulator input, so you can plug the speaker output of an amp in for 'dirty' Di sounds with or without a speaker connected. All the Di\/splitters on both boxes have break jack inputs and can be used as separate Di's if desired, as well as earth lift switches to stop hum problems. This means there are a total of 8 outputs with the Deluxe version, (or 2 on the normal system); a line driver and receiver; and a speaker simulator.

When used accross a mix, or with any dynamic programme, this has the effect of adding 'punch', as the sidechain 'breathes' around these transients, while still controlling overall levels. CRUSH mode has been developed as an extension of this 'musicality', adding to and accentuating the factors involved in producing the character of the unit. CRUSH may sound surprising to those interested in more gentle applications, being capable of exaggerated compression effects, but in conjunction with the fast limit settings also introduced with this unit, it allows the C2 to be used for a much wider range of applications than the C1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOperation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast attack and limit settings for protective limiting. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrush mode gives f.e.t 'overcompression' with tailored frequency response, and higher distortion, for 'huge' dynamic effects. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal sidechain inputs, (for ducking etc.) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower fail bypass for broadcast or live sound. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRatios 1.5:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 10:1 and Limit. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttack 0, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, and 30 m\/sec. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, and 2.4 seconds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal fader level control input, (to order) (stereo mastering etc). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra dual channel slave units, for multichannel applications, (film \/ surround formats etc.).\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCircuitry:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew generation of Voltage Controlled Amplifiers. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh slew rate amplifiers, with hybrid f.e.t\/ transistor inputs (Analog Devices). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh current push-pull transistor outputs. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal symmetry throughout signal path. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo electrolytic capacitors used in main signal path. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll inputs and outputs balanced.\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Smart Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449551482983,"sku":"33137","price":2195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_smart_research_c1_stereo_compressor__2103_cat_cd9ea03c-a4ab-49f4-808b-5945b9d03a57.jpg?v=1787089422"},{"product_id":"smart-research-c1la-demo-deal","title":"Smart Research C1LA (Demo Deal)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSmart Research C1LA\u003c\/strong\u003e is a two channel compressor\/limiter, released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the original C1 Stereo\/Dual Mono unit, and the 50th anniversary of North American distributor, Sunset Sound.
