The Optograph's front end is balanced by an original Jensen input transformer. The output utilizes our specially recreated Nickel transformer. The essence of the compressor's character comes from our custom electroluminescent cell and discrete op-amp combination. The high quality circuit is pristine enough for bus compression, and yet has a unique character reminiscent of an antique world class compressor, that has just now been discovered. It's also perfect for squeezing drum busses and massaging vocals. It's the perfect glue for tracking and mixing anything that needs to sound more finished, more like a record. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust like The Mastering Compressor, the Optograph's threshold and make up gain are controlled by discrete attenuators, made from custom twenty-four position Elma switches. The tactile feel and quality of these controls are unrivaled. They are of the highest quality and will last forever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilt into the side chain, are a very powerful series of filters: 90 hertz, 150 hertz, 250 hertz, and band pass. By engaging a specific filter, you choose at which point the onset of compression occurs. First position, nothing below ninety triggers compression. Second position, nothing below one-fifty. Third, nothing below two-fifty. The fourth position is a musical bandpass filter. In this position, compression is triggered by the program's mid-range frequency content, ignoring the highest and lowest frequencies. The filters are amazingly useful for shifting the focus of what should be more compressed and creating compression curves on purpose. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother unique feature for sculpting the overall sonic character is the Transformer Desaturate mode. In this mode we cancel out any distortion and frequency non-linearities caused by the output transformer. The result is a pure, almost transformer-less sound, whilst still receiving the benefits of limiting transients that can only come from magnetics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is also a VU meter for the display of gain reduction. The Optograph is enclosed in a twelve gauge steel chassis, has an engraved front panel and custom made knobs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Shadow Hills Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449462059111,"sku":"17292","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_shadow_hills_industries_mono_optograph_500_2_3debdd68-cee9-44f3-b571-af34066d93a6.jpg?v=1787089051"},{"product_id":"pendulum-ocl-500-compressor-limiter-used","title":"Pendulum OCL-500 Compressor\/Limiter (Used)","description":"Since its introduction in 1998, the Pendulum OCL-2 Compressor\/Limiter has become a modern classic.

This is extremely useful for reshaping all sorts of individual tones, and is a wonderful tool in any mixing situation as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nvelope 500 operates independently of the specific level of a signal, and (unlike with compressors) you do not have to spend a lot of time trying to balance a set of complex controls to quickly get the results you seek. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its unique Dual Band mode, the nvelope 500 gives you enhanced control over processing, and can easily handle complex program material. Additionally, its dynamics sections can be bypassed, allowing it to function as a flexible high\/low shelf EQ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, the nvelope 500 is a dynamics processor that can change the character of a sound by altering its impulse structure. It gives you direct control over the envelope of a signal by shaping its attack and sustain intensity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore specifically, a drum set (or individual drums) can be made to sound more aggressive and punchy by accenting the attack, or tones that are already overly aggressive can easily be tamed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther useful applications would be on picked or slapped bass, edgy guitar or any kind of piano recording. Generally speaking, the nvelope 500 works optimally on audio signals with a significant\/percussive attack structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a balance to the attack shaping, the sustain parameters offer control over room sound and space. An instrument or a reverb tail can sound tighter by reducing its sustain, or can gain more depth\/make a signal sound longer by increasing it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nvelope 500 is a great tool for shaping individual signals, but it can be an indispensable resource in mixing situations as well, as it effortlessly helps you to bring a sound to the front with more attack and less sustain… or blends it gently into the background by reducing its attack and increasing its sustain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA unique feature of the nvelope 500 is the enhanced tweakability offered in Dual Band mode. Individual frequency controls for attack and sustain yield excellent processing results without unwanted artifacts, even when utilized on complex material like a summing bus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe’re sure you’ll be happy to know the nvelope 500 offers true dual mono or linked stereo operation whether you are using it in Full Range, Dual Band or EQ mode.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the nvelope 500 is not in Stereo Link mode, the two individual channels can be used as different processors simultaneously. For example, you can shape one signal in Dual Band mode in channel L and a completely different signal in Full Range mode in channel R.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOr, you can connect the output of channel L to the input of channel R, and then process the frequency response with the EQ first, followed by some nice Dual Band impulse shaping...

In its basic “DS” mode, the DerrEsser is an effective, level insensitive de-esser, which is a device that will adjust the high frequency gain on overly trebly or spiky vocal, or other source. By using a crossover technique, and dividing the audio up into a high frequency range and a low frequency range, the DerrEsser can use its Voltage Controlled Amp to turn down comparatively high or harsh high frequencies in an extremely musical manner. However, unlike other de-essers, the device is not limited to just de-essing, and allows for multi use of its circuitry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Four Modes of Operation\u003c\/b\u003e - Besides Bypass, there are essentially four modes of the DerrEsser: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDS Mode\u003c\/b\u003e – (Bypass Button IN, all other buttons OUT). As a de-esser in the DS mode (HF Limit OFF), one can set the threshold to tame harsh S’s (sibilants) that result from an overly bright singer or from EQ’ing to make a vocal sound aggressive and clear. In this mode, the dyamic action is “level insensitive”, as the detector circuitry compares the High Frequency content to the low frequency content, Overall signal level doesn’t matter at all. When there is enough HF compared to LF, the threshold is exceeded and the DerrEsser starts to turn down the frequencies above the crossover point set by the Frequency control on the front panel. Again, great care was taken to ensure this DS section meets the Empirical Labs reputation for originality and ease of use. We use the latest technology VCA, specially selected for glitch free, distortion free, and noise free performance. The time constants were carefully selected and the corner frequency is user adjustable with a high performance active crossover. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHF Limit\u003c\/b\u003e – (Bypass Button IN, HF LIM IN, all other buttons OUT). In this mode, the DerrEsser looks at the general level of the High Frequencies only. Think of it as a high frequency compressor. If there is enough high frequency content to exceed the threshold, then gain reduction occurs. It IS level sensitive, but responds much more to high frequencies. This mode can also act as a de-esser but is more of a general high frequency smoothing device.The HF limiter is probably the first carefully tailored soft knee HF limiter in existence. We believe both the DS and HF LIM modes offer the highest performance of any similar device. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHighpass\u003c\/b\u003e – (Bypass Button IN, Listen IN, HP\/LP OUT, HF LIM doesn’t matter). By using the “LISTEN” Function, the user can employ the superb filter circuitry inside the DerrEsser to process their audio. With the LISTEN button IN, and the HP\/LP switch OUT, the user will be hearing the high frequencies that are being controlled with the dynamic\/compression circuits. The corner frequency is adjustable by the Frequency knob. Once the LISTEN switch is engaged, all bargraph LED’s should light as indication. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLowpass\u003c\/b\u003e – (Bypass Button IN, Listen IN, HP\/LP IN, HF LIM doesn’t matter). With the LISTEN button IN, and the HP\/LP button IN, the user is now listening to the low frequencies, those not affected by the VCA and dynamic\/compression circuits. This is a 12 dB per octave filter whose corner frequency can again, be adjusted by the Frequency knob. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUsing for the first time\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DerrEsser is not only a high frequency problem solver, but can be used as a super-quality HP or LP filter, AND as a coloring device to give a more analog sound to digital sources. Use the DerrEsser when you have a vocalist with prominent unnatural “S’s. The standard DS Mode is usually used, with the Frequency set to 2 – 6K. Adjust the threshold till the S’es are tamed and not much else is affected. The HF Limit will more generally smooth the high frequencies, gently subduing high frequencies that exceed the user adjusted threshold. Great on so many sources. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DS Mode can also help difficult problems like high hat bleed in the snare mike, or occasional SQUEEKS on an acoustic guitar or other instrument. See example settings. The HF Limit Mode is a general high frequency smoothing setting. Use it to soften the high end on zillions of sources, not just vocals. If you have a track that has high frequency spikes, or plucks, or edges, this can let you keep the air of the high end except when it really piles up.","brand":"Empirical Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449584939111,"sku":"35358","price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_35358_1_4a56f86d-13ba-40cb-a8fd-f5f44f139fab.jpg?v=1787089571"},{"product_id":"purple-audio-action-fet-compressor-1430-used","title":"Purple Audio Action FET Compressor #1430 (Used)","description":"The \u003cb\u003ePurple Audio Action\u003c\/b\u003e features a constant impedance 600 ohm input attenuator feeding the input transformer, just like our MC77 units.

This is extremely useful for reshaping all sorts of individual tones, and is a wonderful tool in any mixing situation as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nvelope 500 operates independently of the specific level of a signal, and (unlike with compressors) you do not have to spend a lot of time trying to balance a set of complex controls to quickly get the results you seek. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its unique Dual Band mode, the nvelope 500 gives you enhanced control over processing, and can easily handle complex program material. Additionally, its dynamics sections can be bypassed, allowing it to function as a flexible high\/low shelf EQ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, the nvelope 500 is a dynamics processor that can change the character of a sound by altering its impulse structure. It gives you direct control over the envelope of a signal by shaping its attack and sustain intensity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore specifically, a drum set (or individual drums) can be made to sound more aggressive and punchy by accenting the attack, or tones that are already overly aggressive can easily be tamed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther useful applications would be on picked or slapped bass, edgy guitar or any kind of piano recording. Generally speaking, the nvelope 500 works optimally on audio signals with a significant\/percussive attack structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a balance to the attack shaping, the sustain parameters offer control over room sound and space. An instrument or a reverb tail can sound tighter by reducing its sustain, or can gain more depth\/make a signal sound longer by increasing it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nvelope 500 is a great tool for shaping individual signals, but it can be an indispensable resource in mixing situations as well, as it effortlessly helps you to bring a sound to the front with more attack and less sustain… or blends it gently into the background by reducing its attack and increasing its sustain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA unique feature of the nvelope 500 is the enhanced tweakability offered in Dual Band mode. Individual frequency controls for attack and sustain yield excellent processing results without unwanted artifacts, even when utilized on complex material like a summing bus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe’re sure you’ll be happy to know the nvelope 500 offers true dual mono or linked stereo operation whether you are using it in Full Range, Dual Band or EQ mode.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the nvelope 500 is not in Stereo Link mode, the two individual channels can be used as different processors simultaneously. For example, you can shape one signal in Dual Band mode in channel L and a completely different signal in Full Range mode in channel R.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOr, you can connect the output of channel L to the input of channel R, and then process the frequency response with the EQ first, followed by some nice Dual Band impulse shaping...
