Alan Smart C1 Manual
Alan Smart Research C1 - Stereo Compressor. Fast attack and limit settings for protective limiting. Ratios - 1.5:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 10:1 and Limit. Attack - 0, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10 and 30 m/sec.
Release - 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 and 2.4 seconds. All input and outputs balancedThe C2 compressor houses two independent mono compressors, or in Stereo mode, the left-hand controls operate both audio channels, with the right-hand controls not used, giving true Stereo operation. The C2M version has one set of controls and two audio channels for Stereo use, whilst the C2R is a dual channel remote expander for building up to 8 channel systems controlled from one C2M or C2.The characteristic sound of this unit arises mostly from the fast response at the onset of compression, which when delayed to occur around the mid range attack settings (after 0.3 to 3 milliseconds) results in a window through which transients can still pass. When used across a mix, or with any dynamic program, this has the effect of adding 'punch', as the sidechain 'breathes' around these transients, while still controlling overall levels.
'Crush' mode has been developed as an extension of this 'musicality', adding to and accentuating the factors involved in producing the character of the unit. 'Crush' may sound surprising to those interested in more gentle applications, being capable of exaggerated compression effects, but in conjunction with the fast limit settings also introduced with this unit, it allows the C2 to be used for a much wider range of applications than the C1.For more information on this or any Smart Research Ltd product, visit.
