WES AUDIO – PANDORA [Comp Multibanda, Recall Digitale]

Descrizione

WesAudio Pandora: modulo NG500 Compressore Multibanda Stereo con Recall Digitale ed Automazione.

Wes Audio PANDORA è un dispositivo completamente analogico dotato di ben +24dBu di Headroom. Nonostante la sua natura a controllo digitale, il Signal Path è completamente analogico e offre un design Stereo Multiband Compressor privo di compromessi.

Per molti anni i compressori multibanda sono stati altamente stimati per l’abilità di controllare finemente le gamme dinamiche su diverse frequenze, scolpendo equilibrio e Punch di innumerevoli produzioni iconiche. WesAudio PANDORA spinge questo concetto al livello successivo, integrando nella stessa macchina una compressione analogica senza pari, Recall Digitale ed Automazione.

Con il suo preciso controllo Multibanda Stereo e l’intuitiva interfaccia digitale, WesAudio PANDORA ha le carte in regola per diventare una pietra angolare dello studio moderno: la perfetta fusione fra calore analogico e WorkFlow contemporaneo. Fai esperienza del futuro della compressione – la classica profondità del suono analogico unita alla flessibilità e potenza della tecnologia digitale.

– Compatible with 500 series and ng500 series (e.g., _TITAN).
– Total Recall and plugin control, compatible with most DAWs.
– Supports analog automation within DAWs for seamless integration.
– Occupies 3 slots in the 500 series format but provides purely stereo processing, utilizing only slots 1 and 2 for audio routing.

3-Band Control.
Each of the three bands in PANDORA is equipped with crossover filters ranging from 40Hz to 2kHz, and 2kHz to 15kHz. This allows for precise multiband processing, giving you complete control over low, mid, and high-frequency dynamics.

3 Slots Stereo Module.
PANDORA occupies 3 slots in the 500 series format to accommodate its extensive feature set, providing easy access to all controls. Despite using 3 slots, the unit offers purely stereo processing. Only slots 1 and 2 are connected to the 500 series chassis for audio routing, so these should be used for integrating it into your studio system.

Tuned Harmonic Distortion.
Each band features tailored harmonic distortion, specifically tuned for its respective frequency range. This ensures that you achieve a perfect balance of warmth and coloration, enhancing the character of your mix with analog richness.

Highly Flexible VCA Compression.
With independent VCA compressors for each band, PANDORA offers maximum flexibility. You can control the dynamics of each frequency band separately, allowing for more precise shaping of the overall mix.

Low Band SC High Pass Filters.
The low band includes 3 selectable sidechain high-pass filters, allowing you to better manage low-frequency dynamics. This feature is essential for avoiding unwanted low-end triggering and maintaining tight control over bass-heavy content.

High Band SC Low Pass Filters.
The high band is equipped with 3 selectable sidechain low-pass filters, designed to isolate problematic high frequencies. This ensures that compression is triggered by the frequencies that need it most, keeping the highs clean and controlled.

Parallel Compression.
With a dedicated MIX knob, PANDORA allows you to easily blend dry and compressed signals. This makes it ideal for parallel compression techniques, letting you retain the original dynamics while adding compression for added punch and control.

Modern GUI.
PANDORA features a sleek, modern GUI that provides full control over hardware parameters through a plugin interface. This allows you to integrate seamlessly with your digital workflow while enjoying the warmth and precision of analog hardware.

Compatible with 500 Series and ng500 Series.
Despite its advanced features, PANDORA remains fully compatible with the standard 500 series*. Its digital functionalities can be accessed via the mini USB socket on the front panel. The ng500 (Next Generation 500 series) extends the capabilities of the traditional 500 series, making _ PANDORA fully compatible with the _TITAN chassis. This allows control of all devices in the chassis using a single USB or Ethernet cable.
* Important note: ng500 represents an enhancement of the 500 series standard.

Hardware A/B.
Even when using PANDORA as a purely analog signal processor, you can easily switch between two parallel settings with the simple press of a button, offering seamless transitions and flexibility in sound processing.

Total Recall and Plugin Control.
Along with the classic analog compression, _PANDORA offers one of the most highly requested features in the audio industry — TOTAL RECALL.
Complete plugin control via VST2, VST3, AU and AAX ensures _PANDORA is compatible with nearly all major DAWs, providing seamless integration.
This total DAW integration will revolutionize your workflow, allowing for smooth recall of settings and effortless control within your digital environment.

Analog Automation.
We’ve all wanted to adjust device settings for different sections of a song, and now it’s possible! Simply draw automation lines in your DAW, and your analog device will follow seamlessly.
Additionally, you can use the four touch-sensitive encoders to record automation directly to your DAW, making it even easier to adjust and fine-tune settings on the fly.
