Eventide Omnipressor 2830AU - Dynamics Processor Compressor

The 50th anniversary Model 2830AU Omnipressor is a professional-quality dynamic modifier, combining the functions of an analog compressor, expander, noise gate, and limiter in one package. Its dynamic reversal feature makes high-level input signals lower than corresponding low-level inputs. Musically, this reverses the attack-decay envelope of plucked strings, drums, and similar instruments and gives the effect of “talking backward” when applied to a voice signal. The new 50th anniversary model incorporates professional Lundahl transformers on both input and output, a switchable active-balanced side-chain, stereo and master linking capability and a mix control for parallel compression applications. Balanced/unbalanced XLR and TRS options are provided throughout.

Features

• Replicates the form, function, and sound of a '70s-era blackface Model 2830 Omnipressor
• Offers dynamics processing with a unique character
• Dynamic reversal simulates tape reversal making soft signals loud and loud signals quiet
• Gating squashes the amplitude of signals that fall below a set threshold
• Expansion widens a signal's dynamic range
• Compression with variable control of ratio
• Infinite compression makes all signals come out at the same level
• Delivers super-fast limiting
• Function control sets a ratio over a continuous range, enabling extreme expansion to infinite compression, and is able to push further into dynamic reversal
• Variable control of attack and release times; variable maximum gain and attenuation
• Sidechaining allows you to drive the unit with another audio source
• Enables you to link multiple units
• Includes input and output transformers — a costly option on the original hardware
• Universal power supply works anywhere in the world
• Easy-to-read backlit meter
• Practical TRS/XLR connectors
