Bettermaker - Mastering Compressor
Compression with convenienceBettermaker Mastering Compressor is for those in search of mastering grade compression with the convenience of fast and precise recall and automation. The Mastering Compressor offers 100% analogue signal path, high class VCA compression with, 3 different compression modes, sidechain with HPF, parametric and LPF section with hardware insert and preview function, Stereo/Dual mono/MS operation, adjustable THD saturation and more. All this with mastering grade sound and patented recall with a speed of a native plugin.
at a glance
• Advanced analogue VCA compressor with PEAK or RMS detection and switchable forward/backward feed
• Stereo, dual-mono and mid/side operation modes with with focus and sidechain preview function
• All parameters are digitally controlled via front panel and/or DAW (with dedicated plugin)
• Adjustable 15 – 30 Hz high pass filter at the compressor input
• Dry/wet MIX control for parallel compression
Digital Section
ultimate qualityThe sound of the Compressor is based on the quality of its analogue audio path. But all the control and user interactions are performed in the digital domain. This allows us to incorporate options and possibilities not found in any standard analogue compressors.
The digital section of the Mastering Compressor is based around high speed, 32-bit micro-controller, with dedicated firmware programmed into its memory (with the possibility of updating the firmware via USB connection). It's responsible for controlling the VCA, the user interface, presets management, audio measurement, USB connectivity and other Mastering Compressor functions.
The use of separate ground planes for analogue and digital section results in perfect noise isolation between these two worlds. High quality switching power supply, designed by Bettermaker, was used to provide low hoise, hum free power to all analogue and digital components.
Front Panel and LCD Touchscreen
easy controlThe front panel of the Mastering Compressor is built around a large LCD touchscreen that allows you to control almost every function available in the device. Apart from that, you can also monitor input/output levels, amount of gain reduction applied by the compressor or store and recall presets using on-screen QWERTY keyboard.
