The potion is a True Class A FET based Compressor designed to fit the API* 500 VPR Series rack frames. The potion will suit those looking for a audio compressor with "attitude" and is particularly useful in rock, hip hop and modern music styles where a somewhat aggressive character adds to the energy of the track. Drums, electric guitars, vocals and the mix bus will all benefit from the potion's rich harmonic sound - potion - the harmonic energizer!
Frequency Response with no gain reduction = 17Hz to 57kHz, +/- 1.5dB
Maximum Input Level = +25dBu
Maximum Output Level = +27dBu
Total Harmonic Distortion
Measured at 0dBu input, no gain reduction, make up Gain 0dB
100Hz = 0.15%, 1kHz = 0.02%, 10kHz = 0.015%
Measured at 0dBu input, 10dB gain reduction, Attack FAST, Release AUTO
100Hz = 0.9%, 1kHz = 0.16%, 10kHz = 0.08%
Measured at +10dBu input, 20dB gain reduction, Attack FAST, Release AUTO
100Hz = 2.5%, 1kHz = 0.3%, 10kHz = 0.13%
NOTE - distortion at low frequencies will reduce when using slow release settings.
Residual Noise = -80dB A wtg, 150ohm source Z, make up Gain 0dB
Make up Gain Range = 0dB to +17dB
Maximum Available Gain Reduction = 40dB
