Samson S Com4 4 Channel Compressor

Full Description

Versatile dynamics processing

Get the exact sound you need, time and time again. Using the Com4 gives you a wide range of tools to affect your sound source. Featuring expander/gate and compressor/limiter on each of the four channels, the S Com4 allows you to control the final sound of your audio with precision. Effortlessly target specific qualities, and attenuating or boost them as you see fit. The expander/gate boasts continuously variable Threshold controls, as well as a switch for fast or slow release times. The compressor/limiter section includes variable threshold, ratio, and output level, whilst the Enhancer switch allows you to restore those precious frequencies that are often lost when heavily compressing material. In short, you’ve got total control of every nuance of your sound.

Features
