URS 1970 Classic Console Compressor Limiter

The URS 1970 Classic Console Compressor digitally recreates a popular 1970's British Console Buss Compressor Limiter. The URS 1970's Classic Console Compressor features digital recreation of transformer input and diode bridge gain reduction amplifier characteristics.
Smooth and warm!

The URS Classic Console Compressors TDM versions feature Hi Resolution 48-bit TDM and 64-bit RTAS "Double Precision" processing for increased clarity, headroom and unparalleled gain reduction. Hi Resolution "Double Precision" processing helps to avoid internal clipping in the Digital Domain.

The Compressor and Limiter sections are totally independent of each other. Both feature separate variable Attack, Release and Threshold controls.

The Internal Side Chain High and Low Pass Filters fine tune how narrow or "Broad Band" the URS Classic Console Compressor will affect the program material. Both Filters completely overlap to dial in problem frequencies.

The Listen Key is after the Filters section. The Listen Key allows you to monitor the signal being sent to the Gain Reduction detection circuit.

The URS Classic Console Compressors signal flow inserts the Gain Makeup control before the final Limiter. This is the secret to how hard you can hit the final "Brick Wall" Limiter. The URS Classic Console Compressors utilize Feed-back gain sensing. Feed-back gain sensing gives Compression and Limiting a servo type of control. See the detailed signal flow diagram below.

The URS Classic Console Compressor adds other powerful modern features such as totally variable Compression Ratios, Attack and Release times.

Two different URS 1970 Classic Console Compressor plug-ins are included in this bundle.
• Compressor/ Limiter / Side Chain version
• Compressor only version

The 1970 Compressor /Limiter / Side chain version has a "Brick Wall Limiter to smooth out the most difficult musical tracks. The 1970 Compressor /Limiter / Side chain version is well suited for Drum Sub Groups, Aux sends (TDM versions) and especially on the Mix Bus.

The 1970 Compressor only version is 3x more DSP efficient. The Compressor only version is very well suited on general instruments, such as vocals, guitars, bass and individual drums. The 1970 Compressor Only version will act as a Limiter when the ratio is set at 10:1 and above.
