Product Description
The C-COM/OPTI adds the magic of optical compression to recordings and therefore is a perfect complement to the computer’s hygienically clean sound. The C-COM/OPTI’s adjustable threshold, ratio, attack, release and output controls are calibrated to generate a distinctive soft, rich character while providing magnificent control over dynamics. An enhancer provides the added character lost under heavy compression and a large analog VU meter easily monitors output level or gain reduction.
