Built for mixing and mastering engineers who demand uncompromising sonic integrity, it allows for surgical dynamic control and harmonic enhancement across three independent frequency bands. Whether you are shaping a complex vocal, tightening a drum bus, or finalising a master, _Pandora brings professional-grade polish and analogue \"glue\" to any production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1103\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yb696ia3rEU\" title=\"Introducing PANDORA – The First 500 Series Multiband Compressor by WesAudio\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure Analogue Power with Massive Headroom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt its core, _Pandora remains a purely analogue unit, providing a massive +24dBu of headroom to preserve every nuance of your audio. Each of the three bands utilises independent VCA compression, delivering the fast, punchy, and transparent response that modern productions require. This multiband approach allows you to selectively intervene on problematic frequencies—such as controlling aggressive sibilance or heavy low-end—without affecting the rest of the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTailored Harmonic Character\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond standard compression, _Pandora acts as a sophisticated saturation engine. Each band features a dedicated Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) circuit meticulously tuned for its specific frequency range. This allows you to add rich analogue warmth to the low end or a crisp, musical sheen to the high frequencies without introducing unwanted colouration, adding texture and three-dimensional depth to your mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNext-Gen Workflow and Total Recall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ng500 standard revolutionises your studio efficiency by providing full DAW integration through a dedicated plugin (VST3\/AU\/AAX). You can record automation directly into your timeline using the ten touch-sensitive hardware encoders or draw automation lanes that the analogue circuitry follows in real-time. With the Total Recall feature, your hardware settings are saved within your DAW session, ensuring your exact analogue configurations are restored every time you open a project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully analogue 3-band stereo multiband compressor with +24dBu headroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable crossover filters from 40Hz to 2kHz and 2kHz to 15kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent VCA compression and tailored THD settings for each frequency band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal digital recall and full automation control via DAW-integrated plugin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen touch-sensitive encoders for recording real-time parameter changes into your DAW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree selectable sidechain high-pass filters for the low band and low-pass filters for the high band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated MIX knob for instant parallel compression blending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware A\/B comparison buttons for quick auditioning of different configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOccupies three 500-series slots while providing pure stereo operation via slots 1 and 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed gain reduction and input metering on both hardware and software interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multiband VCA Compressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Channels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 (Stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20Hz – 20kHz (±0.2dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Headroom:\u003c\/strong\u003e +24 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHD+N (Wet):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.009% (1kHz, 0dBu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHD+N (Dry):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.005% (1kHz, 0dBu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10k ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;
