Product Description
The Thermionic Culture Phoenix is a twin channel 'vari-mu' device. Compression ratio starts low and increases gradually so that compression can be subtle and natural, but compression effects can occur when driven hard. Very low noise. Continuously variable controls for Gain, Attack, Release, Threshold and Output Level. Stereo link for compressing a group (eg. drums) or a complete mix.The Phoenix enhances vocals & individual instruments by being unobtrusive, gently 'warming' sounds and making solos sound more powerful. It¹s impressive on overall mixes & can give a digital mix 'reality'. It¹s also excellent for compression effects. Try drums with a 'thump' attack (i. e slowest) & fast release.
