New RND OptoFET Dual Compressor
The new OptoFET Dual Stage Compressor combines a newly-designed FET compression circuit with an optimized Optical compression circuit in a single rack space. From transparent vocal smoothing to extreme envelope shaping with massive harmonic texture, the OptoFET offers seemingly infinite creative control.
There are two primary compression modes: in Dual Stage mode, the FET and OPTO compressors are used in series for complete dynamic control over critical sources, accomplishing a common recording & mixing technique with ease. In Dual Band mode, each compressor is assigned to either a low or high frequency band that can then be processed independently, which expands the tone-shaping and dynamic control of the OptoFET into uncharted territory.
Not only does each compressor have fully variable attack, release, threshold, make-up gain and parallel blend controls – plus side-chain high pass filters and special ‘GRIT’ and ‘BLOOM’ harmonic modes – the OptoFET also includes global controls to flip the order of the two compressors in Dual Stage mode, plus a unique variable crossover control to fine-tune the compression across upper and lower frequency bands in Dual Band mode. And though it is a single-channel unit, a pair of OptoFETs in dual mono – with 31-position fully detented controls – can add massive impact to stereo stems, groups, or even full mixes.
Intended for tracking, touring, mixing, mastering & sound design, the OptoFET provides immense control over the dynamics and tonal shape of your source. Compress creatively with the OptoFET.
