■THE BUS+ hard bypass specification This version of THE BUS+, which is equipped with a stereo bus compressor and D-EQ, has been modified to include a hard bypass specification that prevents the signal from being cut off even when the power is turned off, making it ideal for use in concerts, live performances, and broadcasting equipment. Even if the power supply to THE BUS+ is suddenly cut off, the signal will not be interrupted. It can be used stably even at broadcasting, concerts, and events. * Instantaneously detects a power outage and uses a relay circuit to bypass the main signal line (the signal will be interrupted for a moment when bypassing occurs). * After power is restored, a restart is required to pass a signal through the compressor/D-EQ section again. *Please note that due to the construction period required in Japan, delivery will take longer than usual. ■SSL THE BUS+ 2ch Analog Bus Compressor The SSL Bus Compressor is an analog processor that symbolizes SSL. From the SSL 4000 B console released in 1976 to the present, the Bus Compressor has always been a key component of the console center section for several generations. For many top engineers and producers, the SSL Bus Compressor remains their most trusted processing tool, adding drive and energy to tracks with its unique groove and punch, making mixes more complete. THE BUS+ is a new processor that stays true to the original SSL Bus Compressor circuit at its core, but builds on this foundation by adding some unique sonic color and advanced processing tools. It is possible to achieve both the clean, punchy sound of the 9000 series large consoles equipped with SuperAnalogue circuits, as well as the aggressive sound of the 4000E, the signature early SSL console. THE BUS+'s circuit design not only delivers superior analog performance by using high-grade components such as the 2181 THAT VCA in the audio path, but also makes it an extremely flexible processor, with four operating modes and four different compression colors that can be combined to perfectly achieve the sound you are looking for. In addition, THE BUS+ is equipped with a dynamic equalizer, making it a highly versatile and flexible analog sound tool that can handle a wide range of applications and sound sources, including stereo sources, two-way mixes, as well as vocals, bass, and narration. Size: 2RU / Weight (main unit only): 5.92kg / Depth (excluding knobs and switches): 303mm ■Main features: Uses high-performance 2181 THAT VCA. -Four modes: Classic Stereo, S/C Summing (LR Summing) Stereo, Dual Mono, and Mid-Side. - New settings not available in previous SSL Bus Compressors, such as "Auto 2" release and negative ratio settings, allow for more flexible sound shaping. In addition to the standard SSL Bus Compressor sound, it also offers three additional sound colors: 4K mode adds harmonic distortion to give the sound a thick, pleasant distortion feel, LOW THD mode reduces low-frequency distortion and achieves a clean bottom end, and F/B mode changes the compression characteristics to achieve a more relaxed compression style.These four sound colors allow you to adapt to any source. -Digital control is used to achieve excellent performance even in tasks that require precision. - 2-band dynamic EQ (D-EQ) -Bus Compressor and D-EQ can be set pre/post. Sidechain high-pass filter control up to 300Hz in 10Hz steps Mix control for parallel compression
