Heritage Audio SUCCESSOR

Description

The Heritage Audio Successor is Class A stereo bus compressor using true-stereo diode bridge design, Carnhill transformers, advanced sidechain filtering and parallel processing. _x000D_
The Heritage Audio Successor features true stereo operation thanks to extremely tight left/right tracking and near-zero offset between channel. Unlike other compressors that sum the Left and RIght channels in the detector circuit, the Successor’s compression is triggered by the loudest signal in either channel. _x000D_
The Successor delivers a classic sound reminiscent of vintage British compressors with Class A signal path and Carnhill transformer balanced inputs and outputs. Modern features have been added to respond to current musical trends, including ultra-fast attack and release times which give it a FET-like behaviour, and a Mix/Dry blend control allowing for parallel compression. All controls are stepped using Grayhill switches for precise settings and easy recall. _x000D_

Heritage Audio Successor Main Features: _x000D_
True Stereo operation on single controls _x000D_
Carnhill transformer coupled balanced inputs and outputs for added character and vintage vibe. _x000D_
’73 style class A output stages bring the desired ’73 sound to your mix or drum buses. _x000D_
Diode-bridge based compression excels bringing 2nd order harmonic distortion characteristics and true vintage tone while eliminating nasty odd harmonic content. _x000D_
Ultra-fast attack and release time options never found in vintage designs allows for far more flexible settings, including FET like sounds and volume maximizing without transient artefacts. _x000D_
Complex sidechain filtering options elaborate over the already common high pass filters, introducing mid band peak type filters and high-frequency compression, allowing bus correction not possible before. _x000D_
Sidechain SEND and RETURN connections allow for external sidechain signals or further external processing of the internal one. _x000D_
Blend control offers built-in parallel compression without any external equipment. _x000D_
Blend ON/OFF button allows for instant comparison in between WET and DRY signals. _x000D_
Stepped controls for easy recall of settings.
