| Aphex 240 2-Channel Logic-Assisted Gated Compressor Details
The 240 from Aphex combines elements of their Logic-Assisted gate as found on the 230 and 622
and the Easyrider automatic compressor models. The two channel unit is
designed to have both technologies work as a seamlessly integrated
system. When the gate activates, the compressor is prevented from
releasing. This avoids the conflict of the compressor attempting to
raise signal level while the gate attempts to reduce it. The
Logic-Assisted Gate technology provides the most reliable, accurate and
stable operation of any gate. The circuitry of the gate is designed to
never false trigger, click or chatter. Once triggered, even by a
microscopic transient, the gate progresses through its attack, hold and
release sequence. Controls on the gating portion include Threshold,
Attack, Hold, Release and Depth. Controls in the compressor
section of the 240 include Drive, Speed (the baseline release rate of
the compressor) and Output. Each channel may be used independently or
the two channels may be linked for stereo processing. A front panel
multicolored LED bar graph meter displays either peak output level or
gain reduction. The combination of the two processes in one
unit provides more effective control with no artifacts. The 240 can be
employed in any situation that requires both a gate and compression,
such as multi-tracking acoustic drums. Aphex 240 2-Channel Logic-Assisted Gated Compressor Features
- Two channel gate with Aphex Easyrider technology compressor
- The gate and compressor work as an integrated system, never fighting
each other. If the gate is triggered, the compressor's gain reduction
is "frozen" until the gate is open again
- A rear key
insert jack allows line-level equipment to be inserted into the signal
path of the gate's threshold detector for applications such as
de-essing or keying the gate to an external signal
- Insert point is between the unit's input stage and gate detector
- Universal power supply
