The 661 from Aphex is a single channel compressor incorporating vacuum tube technology that's equally at home in music production, sound reinforcement, broadcast and post production, project studios and for the musician.
The unit consolidates three processes in a single rack-space chassis that include Tubessence technology, Easyrider automatic dynamic control and a High Frequency Expander. The 661 also provides complete manual control over the dynamics process.
A link feature allows to 661s to be combined and have VCA control of the two units function in several ways for stereo operation. Sidechain access provides for inserting an external processing device into the signal path.
- Tube based compressor limiter with Easyrider or manual mode
- Compress dynamic levels without fear of reducing frequency response
- In manual mode, the unit provides the full complement of compressor adjustments such as ratio, attack and release for maximum flexibility
- Sidechain access send/return connectors for creative processing, such as de-essing and ducking
- High Frequency Expander (HFX) decompresses high frequencies, with user-adjustable ratio and corner frequency
- Spectral Phase Refractor restores clarity and punch to tracks and allows bass frequencies to be more defined and have more apparent power
