SV12 Compressor (API Select)

500 Series Module

From API:

The API Select SV12 features the original compressor circuit designed for the ATI Paragon live analog mixing consoles. Re-engineered for the 500 Series format, the SV12 providescomprehensive, easy-to-use compression with full LED metering of both output and gain reduction. The unit also includes API’s patented THRUST circuitry which protects sensitive high frequency content of the audio signal even under the most vigorous ofcompression ratios. Two channels can be linked for use as a stereo compressor with true RMS power summing of the left and right signals.
