Shadow Hills Industries Dual Vandergraph 500 Series Stereo Compressor
Fully discrete 2-channel 500 Series Class A VCA stereo compressor with four compression ratios, sidchain filters, and hardwire bypass
Product Description
The Shadow Hills Industries Dual Vandergraph follows the lineage of the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor maintaining its reputation of undeniable quality and exceptional performance, in a convenient 2-slot API 500 Series format module. Its inner components consist of the discrete gain cells from the Mastering Compressor combined with the Optograph’s extremely flexible Sidechain Filter matrix. It features a fully discrete Class A audio path and Shadow Hills' custom Iron Transformers. This combination provides exceptional dynamic control making the Dual Vandergraph a premium stereo compressor for your 500 Series rack!
Just like the Mastering Compressor, the Compression and Output Level controls are Swiss made twenty-four position attenuators. The Ratio switch, selects between: 1.2: 1, 2.5: 1, 4: 1, 8: 1. In addition to changing ratios, each selection changes preset attack and recover times. The Sidechain Filter Matrix controls the frequency sensitivity of the side-chain. The positions are: 90 hertz, 150 hertz, 250 hertz and Bandpass.
Though the Dual Vandergraph operates in stereo, it is controlled by a single set of variable attenuators. It will function as normal with just one channel connected.

Buyer's Guide: Compressors/Limiters
05.23.2019Read More
Compressors and limiters are some of the most important and versatile tools that any audio engineer can use.

To help straighten that out, we’ll discuss the main types of compressors and the terminology that explains their usage.
The purpose of a compressor is to even out the audio signal in order to tame loud transients and bring up lower amplitude material. Compressors were born out of necessity to fill that very straightforward role, to protect radio transmitters from overly hot signals, and to keep recordings in a narrower dynamic range that was easier to reproduce on tape or record.
