No other product can match the performance of the Aphex 320D Compellor. Algorithms like our “FDL”, “DVG” and “DRC” have yet to find any rivals.
The Aphex 320D Compellor’s Frequency Discriminate Leveller section, with the Dynamic Verification Gate and the Silence Gate, slowly adjusts the volume level of an audio stream with very complex algorithms that hide its work. It works differently at different frequencies and stops processing when the sound stops, then resumes instantly when the sound reappears, so there’s no distracting increases in program background noise. When you listen, you know the levels are made more even, but you don’t perceive the levels are shifting.
The Aphex 320D Compellor’s Variable Slope Compressor, Dynamic Recovery Computer and Dynamic Verification Gate add adaptable compression to match the texture of changing audio sources. You don’t hear pumping or other audio artifacts, just natural sound that is evenly consistent in loudness.
The Aphex 320D Compellor’s limiter acts on peaks that shoot beyond average program levels, so they are easy to handle by any analogue or digital recording system.
The Aphex 320D Compellor can act as two independent mono processors or one linked stereo processor, which is selectable on the front panel. This is true with both analogue and digital I/O.
When the analogue input is used, the digital output contains the 320D’s processing. When the digital input is used, the analogue output contains the 320D’s processing, properly levelled.
Aphex builds products that last and last without need for repairs or calibration. Some Compellors have literally been in 24-hour use in the same rack for a decade or longer! When you specify a Compellor, you know it will do its job flawlessly and give you peace of mind.
