ART SCL2 2-Channel Compressor / Limiter / Expander / Gate

ART SCL2 2-Channel Compressor / Limiter / Expander / Gate
"Despite its wide-ranging controls, I found it pretty difficult to get into trouble with the ART SCL2. Even at its more extreme settings, it still managed to sound controlled and purposeful." -Â Sound on Sound
The SCL2 is a comprehensive dynamics processor in a 1U rackmount format. It offers two channels with VCA compression, limiting, expansion, gating, and sidechain inputs. Dual LED meters indicate gain reduction, output level, and gate threshold.
Despite this versatility, a streamlined interface makes it easy to dial in the right settings for any task. Each channel has independent switches for bypass, hard-knee or soft-knee compression, manual or automatic control of attack and release, and to toggle between the expander or gate modes. A global switch changes between dual or linked stereo operation.
Designed for live sound, studio, and voiceover applications, the SCL2 is sonically transparent, packed with features, and simple to use.
