Used Aphex Dual Channel Expander / Noise Gate Audio Processor.

Item No. 612.

Preloved Aphex expander / noise gate unit. This item was used by myself for approximately 3 months for a band that I accepted a mixing job with but subsequently split up.

Description:

Two Channel/Stereo expander/gate. A true dual channel expander using downward expansion with a variable ratio (1.2:1 to 30:1), thus allowing an infinite variety of dynamics control which are impossible with a gate. High and Low pass filters on the KEY input allow frequency selected gating. With high ratio, the Model 612 becomes one of the world's finest gates. It is also a ducker, allowing a KEY input to lower the level of the primary audio input. Made in the USA.

Features:-

  • Dual-Channel Expander/Gate:Each unit contains two channels for simultaneous operation.
  • Downward Expansion:Provides adjustable dynamic range control with a variable ratio from 1.2:1 to 30:1.
  • Frequency-Selective Gating:High-pass and low-pass filters are available on the sidechain/key input to gate only specific frequencies.
  • Ducking Mode:Can function as a ducker to lower the level of a primary audio input based on a key signal. Logic Assisted Gate Circuitry:Combines sophisticated level detection with logic-generated control voltage for stable and accurate triggering.
  • Aphex VCA 1001:Ensures high audio quality, speed, and freedom from unwanted control feed-through, preventing clicks.
  • Adjustable Parameters:Offers control over trigger threshold, attack time, hold time, release time, and ratio.
  • Improved Input/Output:Features servo-balanced input and output circuits for better audio performance.
  • Operating Levels:Supports both +4 dBu and -10 dBV, selectable on the rear panel.
  • Hardwire Relay Bypass:A remote-controllable bypass for signal path integrity.
  • Durable Construction:Designed and manufactured in the USA, known for its "built like a tank" construction.
  • Rack-Mountable:Designed for integration into a standard audio rack.
