AVALON VT-747 SP TWIN SIGNAL PATH OPTO-COMPRESSOR-EQUALIZER

The Avalon VT-747SP combines a creative STEREO tube-discrete Class A
spectral-opto-compressor with a musical six band program equalizer, L-R
output level and gain reduction metering and internal regulated power supplies
in a 2U space. Ideal for high performance DAW input signal conditioning, stereo
buss compression-EQ, stereo keyboards and analog mastering applications.

SPECTRAL-OPTO-COMPRESSION
The opto-compressor features a minimum signal path design utilizing sealed
silver relays for all signal routing and by pass functions. The optical attenuator
acts as a passive level controller with a Class A, variable gain make-up amplifier.
Full dynamic control from soft compression to hard-knee limiting can be achieved
with master threshold, ratio-compression, attack and release controls. Gain
reduction indication is a large analog VU meter. Low frequency and high frequency
contour parametric spectral controls can be routed into the side-chain path for
enhanced frequency dependent compression with variable frequency and threshold
levels. SC listen provides side-chain listen mode for monitoring.
SIX BAND PROGRAM EQUALIZER
The VT-747SP equalizer utilizes 100% discrete, Class A high-voltage transistors
for optimum sonic performance. The six band STEREO program EQ incorporates
the smooth characteristics of an all passive design. The frequency turnover, Q
and amplitude ranges have been carefully chosen for each band to provide the most
natural harmonic balance and lowest phase change while offering simple and
effective tone control. The EQ can be placed pre or post the opto-compressor for
enhanced effects.
TSP - TWIN SIGNAL PATH
The VT-747SP features TSP which gives you the choice of either tube tone
or the classic, Class A discrete transistor sound by exchanging, three (3)
high-voltage dual triode tubes with discrete amplifiers in the opto-compressor
and primary output stages.
INPUT-OUTPUT and METERING
Fully balanced DC coupled, Class A discrete amplifiers are utilized for the
input and output drive interface with+36dB input headroom. A high quality
analog VU meter indicates accurate gain reduction. Twin 60dB range LED
meters provide fast L-R output status of all levels.

Features
Unique High Density design puts SIX gates in
minimum rack space
Intuitive, 'user friendly' layout
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
Fast, low noise opto-coupler circuitry
Sidechain/Key Input points on each channel
Hardwire Bypass switch on each gate
Flawless performance in any audio environment

The sheer amount of effects and signal processors required for today's
standards of audio production puts a great strain on the available space
in equipment racks, both in the studio and on the road.
So, in order to give engineers more control in less space, we've created
the ARX Sixgate; Six full function noise gates neatly housed in a compact,
all steel 1 RU package, without sacrificing features or quality.
Why Six gates?
Research shows that the majority of noise gates get used on drum kits,
which means using typically 5 to 6 gate channels. Compare this to the
two or maybe 4 channels that most other units have, and you'll see the
reason for the Sixgate's success.And, by using a minimalist approach to
drum gates, the ARX Sixgate has enough gates left over for backing vocals
and other instruments.
Industry Standard controls
Front panel controls for each gate consist of the 'Industry Standard' controls
for Release, Depth and Threshold, plus Red and Green LED displays to indicate
Gate Open or Closed status, and an IN/OUT hardwire bypass switch.
In addition to this, each gate has a blank panel to write on for easy confirmation
of gate assigns. No more pieces of masking tape stuck everywhere!
Ultra Low Noise
Internally, each gate has proprietary ARX ultra low noise high-speed opto-coupler
circuitry with program dependent Attack time, which tracks the incoming signal to
automatically determine optimum gate response.
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
The rear panel features true differential Balanced Inputs and Outputs for each gate,
on insulated TRS jack connectors.Each gate channel also has Individual Key Inputs/
Sidechain access insert points which can be used either for gate control by an external
signal, or for frequency sensitive gating (when used in conjuction with an external
equalizer such as the ARX EQ260).
Universal AC Power
AC power range on the Sixgate is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V, and is
connected to the unit via a standard 3 pin IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage
switch.
The Sixgate's unique combination of High Density design, intuitive 'user friendly' controls,
and clean uncluttered layout make it a truly useful audio tool for all applications.
