Transparent Sound Quality
The IGS Audio S-Type features ultra-fast A class op-amps, creating a transparent sound with a minimal level of noise, ideal for delicate audio tasks like classical music recording.
KEY FEATURES
The IGS Audio S-Type is a typical VCA compressor well known as the core of the legendary British sound. The heart of the compressor is the THAT chip instead of the now unavailable DBX.
The analogue path is balanced with ultra-fast A class op-amps. This is the source of completely transparent sound. A minimal level of noise allows the device to be used in recording classical music, including long-range recording. The main new feature of the S-Type is the Sidechain regulation. This allows the user to select the lowest frequencies which will not be compressed and more precisely control the bass and dynamics of the mix. Overall the S-Type is a very creative device.
Typical usage:
- Great summing and mastering compressor
- Beat compressor for external drum machines
- Drum compressor for live drums
- Can be used to compress single stereo instruments (pads, leads)
The S-Type is a precision dynamic range controller intended for use in the most demanding professional audio applications. RMS detection, high headroom input circuits and output drivers give the S-Type its own sonic excellence.
