In IRON mode the make-up gain can push the transformers harder while a relay-switched passive pad brings the level back down, and the variable THD control adds anything from a touch of warmth to obvious saturation. Settings can be stored and compared on the front panel with the A\/B\/C buttons, even without a computer connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalogue VCA compression:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuad THAT 2181 VCA design, plus a dedicated VCA in each channel's detector, with +24dBu of headroom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStereo, dual mono and Mid\/Side:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetectors can be linked or unlinked at any time, with relative parameter linking to keep channel balance when adjusting both sides together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo output stages:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose a clean, electronically balanced output or the Carnhill transformer-balanced IRON output with an IRON PAD of up to 15dB in 1dB steps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable THD:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProprietary harmonic distortion circuit adjustable from 0% to 8%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMix control:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilt-in parallel compression that can be automated from the DAW.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSidechain options:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh-pass filters at 60, 90 and 150Hz, two tilt filters and an external sidechain input for each channel on rear TRS sockets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive ratios:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.5:1, 2:1, 4:1, 10:1 and INF for anything from gentle bus control to hard limiting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal recall and automation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlugin control in VST2, VST3, AU, AAX and AAX DSP formats, with five touch-sensitive encoders per channel for writing automation in real time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB or Ethernet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConnect directly to a Mac or PC over USB, or join your local network via Ethernet.
