Recording studios often use rackmount ‘vocal channels’ – a mic preamp, compressor, and EQ all in one unit as a front end for vocal recording. The Diamond Compressor is our take on a ‘guitar channel’ – a dynamics and tone shaping tool for live and studio use, with low-noise, ultra-linear signal buffering, smooth opto-based compression, and a versatile ’tilt’ EQ that musically shifts overall frequency balance.
Vactrol opto-isolator variable resistance path as used in high-end studio compressors for smooth attack and decay
Premium audio components, including 2% polypropylene capacitors,1% metal film resistors and a pro audio grade opamp (our signal path opamp alone costs 8 to 10 times what the industry norm uses).
Post-compressor ’tilt’ EQ provides a very musical tailoring of frequency response – seamlessly transition from a darker jazz voicing to a brighter jangle, with flat frequency response at the center detent position.
Double filtering stage in side chain to eliminate low frequency modulation while preserving fast compression response.
Bi-color LED provides visual indication of depth of compression.
True bypass signal path.
