SPL - Kultube
Stereo compressor with discrete solid state gain cells (Model #2049)
The Kultube is an extremely versatile compressor with a broad range of control facilities that cover all typical compressor applications. From improved stereo mixes in the "MIDI Studio" to surround mastering with several devices connected, all jobs can be undertaken to the highest degree of sound quality.
Features Stereo Compressor with discrete gain cells
(instead of VCAs)
"Progressive Time Control": user optimization of attack and release times that work in conjunction with the unit's signal responsive circuitry to provide the best attributes of manual and auto compressors at the same time
Adjustable tube saturation with automatic output level adjustment
Selectable soft or hard knee characteristics
Unique decompression mode
Large VU meter displays gain reduction or (mono summed) output level
Switchable side-chain inputs on the front panel
Slave mode for multi-channel operation
Options: 24/96 AD/DA converter, Lundahl input and output transformers Ideally suited... for stereo and surround mix or single channel processing
to produce massive attacks and to significantly increase loudness without destructive side-effects
for effortless integration into digital environments with the optional 24/96-AD/DA converter
for 'softening' too harsh sounds, for example, for making digital recordings more "musical" Frequency response (100 kHz = -3 dB): 10 Hz-100 kHz
Common mode rejection (at 0 dBu): 1 kHz: > 75 dB / 10 kHz: > 65 dB
