The Retro Link Panel is a 19-inch 1U rack unit designed for stereo linking of two Retro 176 or two Retro Sta-Level compressors, providing effortless integration and precise stereo control for professional audio applications. Overview Built from durable metal and matching the Retro aesthetic, the Retro Link Panel mounts neatly between paired compressors for a unified and professional appearance. It allows quick access to a front-mounted toggle switch that engages or disengages the stereo linking function. This makes it ideal for engineers who want to maintain exact stereo balance across both channels during mix buss or mastering sessions. Functionality The Retro Link Panel includes an integrated RCA-terminated linking cable that connects directly to the "couple" input on each Retro 176 or Sta-Level unit. Once connected, the user can easily switch between dual mono and stereo-linked modes. Stereo linking ensures consistent control characteristics across both channels, preventing unwanted image drift and maintaining spatial coherence in the mix.
