2 full-featured compressor/limiters in one rackspace!
The 3630 Compressor provides two independent full-featured compressor/ limiters with noise gates in one rack space, and offers excellent sonic quality for any application, from studio recording to live sound or broadcast.
The 3630 has ratio, threshold, attack and decay controls to customize any kind of compression response, even for the toughest signals. The user can also choose between RMS and Peak compression styles, plus Hard and Soft Knee dynamic curves for every application, from subtle gain control to extreme punch.
Two fully independent gates with threshold and rate controls allow the user to easily and efficiently suppress unwanted ambient noise. The 3630 provides precise signal metering, sidechain access for keying or ducking effects, and stereo linkable operation.
