TS2 Stereo Tube Compressor

Many musicians and recordists appreciate the convenience of working with PC soundcards and other computer based packages but remain disappointed with the poor quality of the integral converters and processing. The Tube Stations' signal path and associated circuitry is specifically designed to capture the magic of tubes and maximise the signal level at the point of analogue to digital conversion - thereby committing the widest possible dynamic range into the digital domain.

The Tube Station 2 (TS2) is a dual mono or stereo linkable soft-knee compressor. Each channel is equipped with a variable Tube Drive control which can be switched out of the signal path for instant A/B comparison. The TS2 offers digital outputs on SPDIF or AES/EBU at up to 24 bit resolution and 96K sample rate (optional DC1 module). Simultaneous analogue outputs are available on balanced XLR.

Features include:

• 2 channel Tube soft-knee compressor
• Single 'more compress' control
• Variable Tube Drive
• Side chain access
• Fixed threshold limiter
• 8 segment gain reduction - input/output bargraphs
• Dual mono or stereo modes
• Variable attack and release controls
• Analogue output level (does not affect digital out)
• Balanced XLR +4dB, 1/4 inch Jack -10dB inputs outputs
