Smart Research C2 Stereo Compressor #676 (Used)

Very nice condition unit, with detented pots on the threshold and make up controls.

The Smart Research C2 compressor houses two independent mono compressors, or in STEREO mode, the left-hand controls operate both audio channels, with the right-hand controls not used, giving true Stereo operation. The C2M version has one set of controls and two audio channels for Stereo use, whilst the C2R is a dual channel remote expander for building up to 8 channel systems controlled from one C2M or C2.Operation:

• Fast attack and limit settings for protective limiting.
• Crush mode gives f.e.t 'over compression' with tailored frequency response, and higher distortion, for 'huge' dynamic effects.
• External sidechain inputs, (for ducking etc.)
• Power fail bypass for broadcast or live sound.
• Ratios 1.5:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 10:1 and Limit.
• Attack 0, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, and 30 m/sec.
• Release 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, and 2.4 seconds.
• External fader level control input, (to order) (stereo mastering etc).
• Extra dual channel slave units, for multichannel applications, (film / surround formats etc.).
