{"product_id":"41557","title":"Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor w\/ Power Supply","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor delivers premium mastering-grade compression for mastering, mixing, and tracking. Each channel features two compressors in series—a mastering-optimized optical compressor followed by a discrete Class-A VCA compressor\/limiter—operating in stereo or dual mono.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optical stage uses the classic T4B attenuator (as found in LA-2A\/LA-3A designs) but refined for mastering precision. The second stage is a fully discrete Class-A VCA compressor with no IC chips or electrolytic capacitors in the audio path, offering detailed control with six ratios (1.2:1 to 10:1), six attack times (0.1–30 ms), and six release settings including Auto. A sidechain filter helps reduce pumping on bass-heavy material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signal path includes custom switchable output transformers—Nickel, Iron, and Steel—providing distinct tonal options from clean to colored to aggressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth compression stages feature true hard-wire bypass, allowing them to be used independently or removed entirely from the path. The unit can also function purely as a transformer tone box or be fully bypassed for straight-through operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional features include input transformer balancing, comprehensive metering for optical GR, VCA GR, and output level, plus a Magic Eye tube peak meter. All 17 rotary controls are detented for precise recall, with an engraved front panel, Bakelite knobs, and a 2RU external power supply compatible with worldwide voltages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA versatile, high-end compressor capable of everything from transparent bus control to aggressive tracking compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes XLR cable and power supply rack unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/zCC18Nzy2Lg?rel=0\u0026amp;showinfo=0\u0026amp;modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cp\u003eVideo: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zCC18Nzy2Lg\"\u003ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/zCC18Nzy2Lg\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"itemspec\"\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eItem Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 41557\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMake:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor%3AShadow+Hills+AND+tag%3Avisible\"\u003eShadow Hills\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Mastering+Compressor+AND+tag%3Avisible\"\u003eMastering Compressor\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/gear-condition-key\" class=\"fs-product-condition fs-product-condition-verygood\"\u003eVery Good\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCategories:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=tag%3Apro-audio+AND+tag%3Avisible\"\u003epro-audio\u003c\/a\u003e ⇒ \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=tag%3Acompressors-and-limiters+AND+tag%3Avisible\"\u003ecompressors-and-limiters\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMade In:\u003c\/b\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMPN:\u003c\/b\u003e 41557\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shadow Hills","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47736514511084,"sku":"41557","price":12999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2604\/0858\/files\/Shadow_Hills_Mastering_Compressor_sku_41557_MPN_1.jpg?v=1781249081","url":"https:\/\/foundsound.com.au\/products\/41557","provider":"Found Sound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
