Legendary sound of Stereo Bus compressor has been true companion on countless recordings since 40 years. Often recognized as “mixbus glue”, this particular compression sound have become industry standard. We present DIONE – fully analog, legendary VCA compressor with digital recall.
– 100% analog device with +24dBu of headroom powered by QUAD VCA THAT 2181,
– MIX KNOB FOR PARALLEL COMPRESSION
– THD – harmonic distortion with two modes (Medium & High),
– SIDE CHAIN FILTERS – 3 high pass filters at 60,90 and 150 Hz, and 2 tilt filters which are special “curve” designed filters,
– FOUR RATIO SETTINGS – 1.5:1 and 2:1 for gentle mixbus processing, and 4:1 and 10:1 for large variety of applications,
– 500 SERIES and ng500 (e.g. _TITAN) SERIES COMPATIBLE,
– TOTAL RECALL AND PLUGIN CONTROL compatible with most DAWs.
– ANALOG AUTOMATION in DAW.
Other features:
– Fully digitally controlled and isolated analog circuit,
– Digital recall can be acheived by connecting unit directly through front panel mini USB socket, or using it inside _TITAN chassis,
– Digital sidechain – it is possible to send any track from your DAW as side chain signal to the compressor – It is enough to configure side chain feature in connected plugin,
– 3 touch sensitive encoders allow record automation of particular parameters (Threshold, Mix, Make Up) in DAW,
– True bypass,
– Accurate analogue GR meter and its precise simulation implemented in the plug-in itself,
– Free software and firmware upgrades.
