Professional Compressor Limiter 1.Stereo RMS compressor with additional of Sub Harmonic Synthesizer

 CLP-160 Professional Compressor Limiter

The CLP160 is a Stereo RMS Compressor with the addition of a Sub Harmonic Synthesizer.The CLP160 is implementing a REAL RMS Compressor, so compressing at the same threshold a pure sinusoidal signal as a squared wave.Particularly, the RMS Compressor is a Compression process applied with fast slow Attack and Release times to the INPUT signal of a Unit, in order to maintain the amplitude of the OUTPUT signal at a defined level, when input level is exceeding a defined intervention Threshold.The Compressor implemented in the CLP160 is acting on the evaluation of an input signal which is an averaged one on a 50ms time frame, and representing actually the RMS value of the input signal itself, so to make more “Musical” the Compressors action.The RMS Compressor, it is so maintaining constant the output energy and not the Output peak, so to have for the different inputs, independently from their harmonic content, a constant output RMSlevel.More, for the CLP160 Compressor is also available a Ratio and a Hard/Soft Knee parameters.The Ratio parameter is allowing to get a compressed output maintaining a constant dB ratio with the input.This feature is got in the CLP160 with a precise Look Up Table Log Computation process, allowing int the ratio maintenance a precision of 0.1dBu.The Hard and Soft knee feature is allowing the user to select between a sudden compression intervention when the input signal it is just above the Threshold (Hard Knee) or a smoother one starting the compression smoothly before the Threshold.In addition to the RMS Compression process, in the CLP160 is also available a powerful Sub Harmonic synthesizer. The Sub Harmonic Synthesizer is working generating sub Harmonics on the base on the Harmonic content of the original signal. Particularly, the amplitude distribution of the generated SubHarmonics is following the shape of a band pass filter set on the low part of the band.The peak of this “band pass” filter, is centered on 65Hz.This means that the Sub Harmonics added to the original sound, and being at one octave below the harmonics detected in the original signal itself, will bring a “deep” and very low extra body to the original sound.
