dynamics processing solution offering two channels 
of full function Compressor, Expander/Gate, Limiter 
and De-Esser. S•Com plus’ convenient meters provide 
instant status of important gain management settings.

FEATURES

>

  Full featured, dual channel dynamics processor 

including Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, De-
Esser and Peak Limiter.

>

hard knee based on the level of input signal.

>

  AEG (Automatic Envelope Generator) mode constantly 

adjusts the Compressor’s Attack and Release times 
based on input signal. Manual adjustment of Attack
