Analog processor RPR1000

Recording Strip
Mic Preamp | Gate | Compressor | De-Esser | Dynamic Enhancer | Parametric EQ

The RPR-1000 is the all-in one solution for today’s recording artist, who requires sophisticated analog processing before conversion into the digital domain. It combines all functions of a legacy analog console with a standard set of outboard gear: a studio-grade, discrete mic preamp; an expander/gate; a compressor/limiter; a de-esser; and last but not least a 4-band equalizer with the two mid bands being fully parametric with adjustable frequency and Q factor. This way, a microphone input can be dynamically tampered with the full headroom of analog circuitry, and the sound can be shaped with the warmth only an analogue EQ can offer. In the dynamics section, some of the settings can be automated at the user’s choice, like the “auto-knee” function which offers program-adaptive compression to combine the advantages of hard and soft-knee compression, and the “auto-time” function which sets suitable attack- and release times automatically. All signal levels and gain reductions are visually displayed by precise LED meters. A side chain with switchable monitoring function completes the feature set of this truly versatile studio-in-a-rack, which perfectly combines with a soundcard as a center piece of a recording setup.
