Designed to be the perfect level control tool kit for recording, the Dynamics Module is densely packed with control features yet simple to use. The combination of separate Compressor and Gate/Expander section is powerful, graceful and ideal for gentle and unobtrusive level control.

Key Features:

• Fully balanced XLR input and output
• Switched -10dB/+4dB operating level
• Dedicated compression meter display
• Over-easy RMS compressor, switchable to peak sensing hard knee
• Variable Ratio, Threshold and Release
• External key operation
• Independently switched Gate/Expander section
• Link facility for multiple module linking
