The AD2044 features 100% discrete, pure class A signal amplifier configured with high speed current monitored optical control elements. These “invisible” opto elements enable the AD2044 to deliver totally transparent, low noise gain reduction within the minimalist signal path design. No VCAs are incorporated. Variable attack and release controls plus side chain access, provide unlimited creative control from soft compression to hard limiting.

SONIC EXCELLENCE
The Avalon AD2044 Pure Class A opto-compressor is the most transparent, low noise optical-compressor available today. Designed to optimize absolute signal integrity and musical performance, the AD2044 combines advanced electronics with sonic excellence unequaled by lesser designs. The AD2044 is the perfect solution for two buss music-program compression, mono bass and instruments and mastering applications.

Features include state-of-the-art, balanced 100% discrete, Pure Class A signal amplifiers, practical “real-world” user features and rugged hardware designed to deliver true high performance audio for many years.

LINEAR OPTICAL COMPRESSION
Custom manufactured, high speed linear opto elements provide the non invasive passive attenuator system for invisible gain reduction. The AD2044 incorporates a unique external control loop and current monitored optical driver for smooth control plus the benefits of traditional vintage LDR compression.

MINIMUM SIGNAL PATH DESIGN
Avalon’s advanced true symmetry design offers high-voltage, large headroom, extended bandwidth and very low noise. The use of 100% discrete, Pure Class A signal amplifiers offer the serious music professional unlimited sonic character and a natural harmonic detail that enhances the program material and becomes one with the music itself.

The AD2044 can be found in the world’s leading recording studio’s, mastering facilities and artist/producers outboard racks. These professionals rely on the AD2044 daily to help them complete their “sonic signature” and turn recordings into musical masterpieces.

AD2044 SPECIFICATIONS

The Aphex Model 661 is a totally new type of compressor incorporating vacuum tube technology with the latest innovations in audio compression. This single-channel compressor/limiter is loaded with features, consolidating for the first time in one rack space, three patented Aphex circuits: Tubessence®, Easyrider®, and High Frequency Expander®.
Tubessence is a true tube circuitwhich provides that “vintage” tube sound without high the heat, bulk, short life, fragility, and sonic variability found in traditional tube designs.

Easyrider is an Automatic mode that actually works, consisting of the Wave dependent Compressor™ (WDC) circuit which takes the guesswork out of compressing individual instruments and vocals especially in live mixes. WDC automatically adjusts attack and release times according to the complexity of the program material. Its No-Knee™ compression curve makes the transition into compression virtually invisible.

In the Manual mode, the Model 661 provides the full complement of compressor adjustments such as Ratio, Attack, and Release, for maximum flexibility. Express yourself and get those “punch”, “slap”, “fat”, “pump”, and “squeeze” sounds fast and clean.

The 661 includes the patented High Frequency Expander® (HFX) which decompresses high frequencies, with user-adjustable ratio and corner frequency. Add “life” and “air” to your compressed signals without fear of background noise pumping.

The Spectral Phase Refractor™ restores clarity and punch to your tracks. Bass frequencies are more defined with more apparent power. Higher frequencies also seem to gain more detail and presence.

Use the Model 661 to control dynamics for mixdowns, protect your sound system’s loudspeakers from transients and distortion or shape the sound of individual instruments and vocals. Compress dynamic levels without fear of reducing frequency response. Whatever type of dynamics control you’re looking for, it can be done with the Model 661 Tube Compressor / Limiter Expressor®.

•ENTRADAS: 2 XLR o 2 jack 1/4″
•SALIDAS: 2 XLR o 2 jack 1/4″
•Potenciador óptico de graves Big Bottom
•Controles Tune, Harmonics y Drive en Aural Exciter
•Controles Drive, Tune y Mix en Big Bottom

Excitador aural estéreo.
Mejora audible de mezclas estéreo en estudios, directo, radios, internet, consiguiendo que el nivel SPL aparente sea mayor, sin incrementar el nivel real. La función “Big Bottom” aumenta la sensación de potencia a las frecuencias graves. La mezcla gana en nitidez, volumen, claridad e inteligibilidad.
ESPECIALMENTE INDICADO PARA LOCALES MUSICALES donde se pretenda mejorar elsonido sin cambiar de equipo.
