{"product_id":"rupert-neve-designs-optofet-dual-stage-compressor","title":"Rupert Neve Designs OptoFET Dual Stage Compressor","description":"\u003cp\u003eCombining a newly designed FET circuit with an optimized optical circuit, the Rupert Neve Design OptoFET is a versatile dual-stage, dual-band compressor and wave shaper. With Dual-Stage mode, you can use the FET and optical stages in series for complete dynamics control, while Dual-Band mode offers blending of high and low frequencies between circuits for flexible tone shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach compressor circuit has completely independent controls. Attack, Release, Threshold, make-up gain, and blend controls for parallel processing. You also get 150 Hz side-chain high-pass filters on each compressor. Global input and output trim controls make gain staging easy. Grit mode on the FET circuit enables powerful wave shaping with ample high-frequency harmonic distortion, while Bloom on the optical circuit increases low-order harmonics for warmth and enhanced bass. The compressor provides an adjustable 50 to 500 Hz crossover section which can flip the order of the comp circuits in Dual-Stage mode or control the blending of circuits in Dual-Band mode. Each compressor section has an independent 8-stage LED gain-reduction meter. Finally, the unit provides an XLR-1\/4\" combo input jack and an XLR output jack, and you can combine two units together for a true stereo link that enables either stereo or dual-mono processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-selenium=\"sellingPointsTitle\" class=\"text_TAw0W35QK_ comfy_TAw0W35QK_ sizeTitle4_TAw0W35QK_

the global control section:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe serial order of the 2 compressors can be flipped while in Dual-Stage mode.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe OptoFET can also become a Dual-Band compressor by simply pressing the X-Over In button, which engages the Crossover filters and the corresponding Crossover variable frequency control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith this mode engaged, each compressor is assigned to either the low- or high-frequency band, allowing for independent processing of both bands simultaneously.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe variable frequency selection control dials in exactly where the crossover is applied, from 50 to 500 Hz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Flip button also works while in Dual-Band mode, assigning the FET or Opto to process either frequency band as desired.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis can be especially helpful for bass sources, providing complete control over the low end while boosting the mids and highs to dial in the perfect amount of string noise and texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul
