Product Description
As the Classic RM 58 design has been used with great success on many landmark recordings. The present-day version of the Roger Mayer RM58 brings this design forward using today's technological improvements. It is combined with Roger Mayer's latest high speed analog dynamics process to produce a truly unique compact product with all the modern features for DAW recording.
A unique proprietary FET gain reduction circuit uses the input information in a feed forward manner to control both positive and negative peaks. This dynamically controlled gain reduction method enables the Stereo Center image to be maintained whist using significant amounts of gain reduction thus making it popular for vinyl mastering applications. It is almost the opposite of using the old type of limiter where the information is integrated over a period of time and then applied to control gain. The limiting ratios are not specified because with this dynamic gain reduction method occurring in real time they are always changing to produce a very natural and musical sounding result. The wide range of Attack and Release times available enables many difficult recording situations to be recorded perfectly.
The closely dynamically matching of their 58 limiters is crucial to enable successful Master 2 Track Bus production tasks. Individual superb performance with bass guitars, vocals, or drums. Strings and brass for initial tracking etc also benefit from this dynamic matching to enhance the overall performance when using multiple microphones set-ups.
The audio circuit path is all Class A low noise advanced discrete design only using the best available components. The resulting Class A circuit path provides the ultimate audio transparency with an extended frequency response to 100 kHz. The output is also Class A - ultra low output impedance.
Technically the design was very advanced and today its performance still stands out and compares very favorably to newer designs. It is more open and dynamic sounding than many of the old type of traditional Radio Station Type of Limiters So take time out to listen to the latest version of a truly important piece of audio equipment with an impeccable heritage and history to understand and experience the difference.
