SPL DynaMaxx RackPack Module – No Longer Available

Part of the SPL RackPack modular system series, the DynaMaxx probably is the most consequent interpretation of a "set & forget" compressor concept. In keeping with the SPL design philosophy, it incorporates many features not found on standard compressors, and a unique control system makes is surprisingly easy to use.

The SPL DynaMaxx also offers a de-compression mode which may be used to counter the effects of overcompression in previously processed source material.

Why is DynaMaxx so different?
Though auto attack and release functions are nothing new, in the DynaMaxx design, the time constants are automated in a very musical way. DynaMaxx optimizes all time constants in real time during processing so that the compression characteristics are continually matched to the source material.

The DynaMaxx circuitry actually uses two of the excellent THAT 2181 VCAs in SPL’s Double VCA-Drive mode configuration, which doubles the operating range while increasing transparency and reducing distortion. Another benefit of the DynaMaxx circuitry is that high compression ratios do not affect high frequency detail – high amplitude, low-end bass can be controlled without introducing pumping or other negative side-effects. Similarly, complex stereo sources can be processed easily and very musically.

The DynaMaxx has numerous applications in recording and mixing, as well as for live applications, and because of the level of intelligent processing within the unit, there are only two controls to adjust per chan- nel, making operation very intuitive.
