Product Description
The ART SCL2 is an advanced and adaptable dynamics processor crafted for effortless operation and outstanding sound quality. It can be fine - tuned to offer anything from gentle, smooth compression to intense hard limiting. Noise reduction is achieved through either a rapid solid gate or a subtle expander. The Attack and Release functions let users set the general operating range, and then it automatically adjusts to the audio being processed. There's also a convenient full auto mode. Two ultra - precise LED meters clearly show the gain reduction for each channel. Key features include dual - channel or linked stereo operation, 1/4 - Inch TRS and XLR balanced inputs and outputs, stereo mode balance control, selectable auto/manual attack/release, precise LED level meters, an all - steel chassis, 1/4 - Inch TRS side chain inserts, selectable hard/soft knee, and an internal power supply. Technical specs cover input/output impedance, maximum levels, frequency response, dynamic range, attack and release times, total harmonic distortion, power requirements, dimensions, and weight.
Using the ART SCL2 is easy. First, connect your audio source to the 1/4 - Inch TRS or XLR balanced inputs. If you're working with stereo, you can choose between dual - channel or linked stereo operation. Use the stereo mode balance control to adjust as needed. To control the dynamics, you can set the Attack and Release times. You can choose between auto or manual settings depending on your preference. The unit also has a selectable hard/soft knee option for different compression effects. When it comes to noise reduction, you can switch between the fast solid gate and the subtle expander. The LED meters will show you the gain reduction for each channel. For maintenance, keep the unit in a clean and dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If there's dust, use a soft, dry cloth to clean it. Make sure to follow the power requirements and don't overload the unit. That way, your ART SCL2 will keep performing well for a long time.
