Signal Processors

Room‑correction pioneers Trinnov were already a step ahead of the competition. Now they’ve taken things further.

Based on a famous Danish design, Heritage’s versatile homage includes some useful additional features.

Warm Audio pay tribute to two different revisions of the classic FET compressor, and throw in some helpful modern features to boot.

Have Wes Audio achieved the perfect union of analogue processing and digital control?

Both of these devices are part of ART’s new ‘multivoice’ series, which aims to provide a wide range of tonal options.

“We had always planned for Carnaby HE2 to be more than just two Carnaby 500s in a box,” say Cranborne. But how much more?

Eventide’s unique, and uniquely versatile, hardware compressor has had a well‑deserved reissue, with sympathetic improvements to update it for the modern studio.

This high‑end design began life as a resurrection of the rare‑as‑hen’s‑teeth Fairchild 666. But it soon became its own thing...

Ditched your console but still have a thirst for analogue EQ? Maybe the Equate can quench it...

With a compressor‑saturator stage for each of its four bands, could Drawmer’s new EQ become your latest Crush?

With a Transient Designer, a de‑esser and an unusually versatile input section, there’s more to SPL’s recording channel than most.

These audio examples accompany the April 2024 review of the Wellspring Spring Reverb unit by Teaching Machines.

Gainlab’s channel strip delivers high‑quality valvetube preamplification and optical compression, along with some interesting tone‑shaping options.

Spring reverb can be a one‑trick pony, though it’s a pretty good trick! This one incorporates additional processing to make it more versatile.

Contrary to popular reports, preamps don’t all sound the same — and this clever modular system makes it easy to hear the ‘magic’.

This all‑analogue feed‑forward limiter has the sort of look‑ahead function normally found only in digital devices.

The audio examples available on this page accompany my review of the LANG PEQ-2 equaliser by Heritage Audio. This recreation...

Although less well known today than the Pultec EQP‑1A, the versatility of LANG’s valve‑less PEQ‑2 won it plenty of admirers.

Does Lindell’s LiN2A sound as classy as the famous compressor that inspired it?

There were some strange pin assignments on Eventides in the old days — could that be the problem?

The war of the clones shows little sign of ending — and Warm Audio have now trained their sights on a very classy optical compressor.
