The Shadow Hills Dual Vandergraph
is a direct descendant of the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor and
maintains its reputation of unquestionable quality and exceptional
performance – in a 500 Series format. It’s inner workings are developed
from the discrete gain cells of the Mastering Compressor which are
combined with the Optograph’s extremely flexible Sidechain Filter
matrix. This combination provides great possibilities for new recording
techniques and the dynamic control.
This stereo compressor’s fully discrete audio path is Class-A and features Shadow Hills’ custom Iron Transformers.
The controls are:
Ratio, Filter, Compression and Output Level.
Just
like the Mastering Compressor, the Compression and Output Level
controls are Swiss made twenty-four position attenuators. The Ratio
switch, selects between: 1.2: 1, 2.5: 1, 4: 1, 8: 1.
In addition to changing ratios, each selection changes preset attack and recover times.
The
Sidechain Filter Matrix controls the frequency sensitivity of the
side-chain. The positions are: 90 hertz, 150 hertz, 250 hertz and
Bandpass.
