Smooth Compression and Gating with Classic “Air” EQ
Squeez SQ?2 provides two channels of smooth compression and gating, plus an adjustable “Air” EQ for that classic vocal sound of the ’60s and ’70s. The Compressor section offers both auto “soft-knee” and “hard-knee” curves, while the Soft Gate employs an expander function at the threshold to eliminate annoying clicks from drums and other percussive sounds. Finally, the adjustable “Air” filter restores natural top-end, letting you dial in vintage sounds without the hassle of expensive and finicky old gear. The ups and downs of dynamics It’s a law of physics that audio electronics are noisy. You can raise the volume of the desired sounds to hide the hiss, but by mixing louder you can clip your signal (which causes distortion much worse than the dreaded hiss). Another problem we face is when certain musical passages are pushed to the limits, you’ll find that some softer sections get lost. Enter Squeez The Squeez SQ?2 acts like an extra pair of hands that quickly adjust the volume of two incoming signals to prevent them from clipping. The SQ?2 offers a variety of controls to let you dial in a “personality” for each of these virtual hands and shape their response to suit the dynamics of the signals they are controlling. Accurate control for better sound The Squeez SQ?2 provides threshold and ratio controls that determine when to lower the signal, and by how much. Attack and release control how quickly the SQ?2 reacts and returns to normal when a strong signal is encountered. And there’s an Output control that let’s you make-up the volume lost when the compressor does its thing. There are eight bright LEDs on each channel so you can actually see the compression as it happens. And if all this potential overwhelms you, there’s an Automatic Attack/Release button you can engage until you’re ready to take full control. Finally, each channel includes a smart gate/expander that essentially turns down the channel so you don’t hear a bunch of hum and noise when no signal is playing. Classic “Air” EQ Compressing an audio signal can change the sound in a not-so-good ways also. Many compressors can suck out the high frequencies?especially when compressing hard. The SQ?2 includes a unique “Air” EQ circuit that restores the high frequencies lost in compression. And because it’s variable, you can decide the exact amount of restoration required. Connections you can rely on The Squeez SQ?2 features balanced XLR and ?-inch inputs and outputs for connecting to virtually any mixer. A ?-inch TRS Side Chain insert is provided for frequency-dependent or time-shifted compression, ducking, or even triggering the processor with another signal entirely, opening up a whole new palette of sonic control. Compact, the SQ?2 requires just one space of a standard 19-inch rack. It has a switchable 115V/230V power supply in case you’ve gotta leave the country in a hurry. And like everything TAPCO, it’s designed tough to withstand the rigors of the road.

Smooth Compression and Gating with Classic "Air" EQ
Squeez SQ?2 provides two channels of smooth compression and gating, plus an adjustable "Air" EQ for that classic vocal sound of the '60s and '70s. The Compressor section offers both auto "soft-knee" and "hard-knee" curves, while the Soft Gate employs an expander function at the threshold to eliminate annoying clicks from drums and other percussive sounds.

The DPR-504 is a 4-channel noise gate.
Each channel features: A parametric key filter with key filter listening. Simultaneous key level and threshold metering with average and peak metering. A gate status LED. A RELEASE/HOLD control (hold tracks proportionally with release times). Attack switchable auto/fast (auto tracks signal dynamics for optimum setting). Link (links two channels together). Key source allows external triggers.
The Range switch selects between 7OdB and 2OdB gating depth to provide alternative release profiles. The unit features electronically balanced inputs and outputs.
The Avalon VT-737SP features a combination of TUBE preamplifiers, opto-compressor,sweep equalizer, output level and VU metering in a 2U space. PREAMPLIFIER The VT-737SP has three input selections: 1. The VT-737SP features a higher-performance microphone input transformer with +48v phantom selection. 2. Instrument DI high source input with jack located on front panel. 3. Balanced line input, discrete high-level Class A. The Class A preamplifier utilizes two cascaded, dual vacuum tube triodes configured with minimum negative feedback. A high gain switch boosts the overall gain of the preamplifier. The four high quality tubes are configured as singled ended anode coupled followers. A passive-variable high pass filter and hard-wire relay bypass completes the input signal conditioning. The phase reverse relay is available on all three inputs. OPTO-COMPRESSOR The opto-compressor features a minimum signal path design with twin Class A vacuum tube triodes for gain matching. The optical attenuator acts as a simple passive level controller. Full dynamic control from soft compression to hard- knee limiting can be achieved with threshold, ratio-compression, attack and release controls plus gain reduction selection on the large VU meter. Special spectral control including de-ess is available with the dual sweep mid EQ to side- chain switch. The EQ section can be flipped pre or post the opto-compressor via a front panel switch for alternate effects and tone shaping. Two VT-737SPs can be linked via a rear panel link cable for stereo tracking. The compressor bypass is a sealed silver relay for the most direct signal path. SWEEP-EQUALIZER AND OUTPUT LEVEL The VT-737SP equalizer utilizes 100% discrete, Class A-high-voltage transistors for optimum sonic performance. The high and low frequency bands provide the smooth characteristics of an all passive design, while the dual mid bands include variable frequency and switched Q-width selection. The enhanced range of the mid bands is extended into the high and low bands by the use of X10 frequency multipliers. The bypass switch incorporates a sealed silver relay for the most direct signal path. When the EQ to sidechain is engaged, the high-low EQ remains in the audio path for "tone enhancement“. The output level control provides a variable control of the overall signal path. The output amplifier utilizes another dual triode vacuum tube driving a 100% discrete, Class A, high-current, balanced and DC coupled low noise output amplifier.
AVALON VT-737SP FEATURES Vacuum tube triode signal path, transformer balanced microphone input, high-voltage circuits for maximum headroom to +30dB, low noise -92dB, internal discrete power supply with toroidal transformer, soft-start tube life extender, stereo link for compressors, all discrete Class A equalizer with musical passive filter design, sealed silver relays for signal routing, large control knobs with professional conductive plastic potentiometers, VU meter for output level monitoring and compressor gain reduction.
