Alesis 3630 Compressor Dual-Channel Compressor-Limiter with Gate

2 full-featured compressor/limiters in one rackspace!   The 3630 Compressor provides two independent full-featured compressor/ limiters with noise gates in one rack space, and offers excellent sonic quality for any application, from studio recording to live sound or broadcast.   The 3630 has ratio, threshold, attack and decay controls to customize any kind of compression response, even for the toughest signals. The user can also choose between RMS and Peak compression styles, plus Hard and Soft Knee dynamic curves for every application, from subtle gain control to extreme punch.   Two fully independent gates with threshold and rate controls allow the user to easily and efficiently suppress unwanted ambient noise. The 3630 provides precise signal metering, sidechain access for keying or ducking effects, and stereo linkable operation.   Features Two complete channels of studio-grade dynamic processing Stereo Link or Dual Mono operation with individual Bypass Peak or RMS averaging dynamic detection Threshold, Ratio, and Output controls Variable Attack and Release, with Hard or Soft Knee switch Dual 12-stage LED metering (per channel) Gate offers Threshold and Rate controls, plus direction switch 1:1 Ratio delivers dual-channel noise gate operation Side Chain connections to interface with other effects Specifications Function: Compressor/Limiter with Gate Number of Channels: 2 Inputs: 2 x 1/4" TS phone, 2 x TRS sidechain I/O Output: 2 x 1/4" TS phone Maximum Input Level: +22dBu Compression Threshold: -40dBu to +20dBu Compression Ratio: 1:1 to inf:1, selectable hard or soft knee Attack Time 0.1 ms to 200 ms (Peak) RMS attack: Program dependent Release Time 50 ms to 3 seconds (Peak) RMS release: Program dependent Gate Threshold: Continuously open (no gating) to -10 dBu Gate Rate: 20 ms to 2 seconds Maximum Output Level: +20dB Make-up Gain: Not specified by manufacturer Frequency Response: 10Hz to 30kHz Dynamic Range: 118dB "A" weighted Noise: >100dB, "A" weighted Dimensions: 1U rack mount, 4" deep Specialties: Unit will operate at either +4dB or -10 dB, switchable
