Diamond CPR1 CompressorRecording studios often use rackmount ‘vocal channels’ – a mic preamp, compressor, and EQ all in one unit as a front end for vocal recording. The Diamond Compressor is their take on a ‘guitar channel’ – a dynamics and tone shaping tool for live and studio use, with low-noise, ultra-linear signal buffering, smooth opto-based compression, and a versatile ’tilt’ EQ that musically shifts overall frequency balance.
All in a user-friendly 3-control package – Comp, EQ and Volume.
Features:
• Vactrol opto-isolator variable resistance path as used in high-end studio compressors for smooth attack and decay characteristics while preserving initial signal transients.
• Premium audio components, including 2% polypropylene capacitors,1% metal film resistors and a pro audio grade opamp (their signal path opamp alone costs 8 to 10 times what the industry norm uses).
• Post-compressor ’tilt’ EQ provides a very musical tailoring of frequency response – seamlessly transition from a darker jazz voicing to a brighter jangle, with flat frequency response at the center detent position.
• Double filtering stage in side chain to eliminate low frequency modulation while preserving fast compression response.
• Dual AC capacitive coupling paths for improved transient response.
• Bi-color LED provides visual indication of depth of compression.
• True bypass signal path.
• Battery or standard negative tip 9V DC adapter operation, can be powered from 9 to 24 V negative tip.
