Rane DC22 Dual Mono/Stereo Compressor with Gating
Rane DC22 - Dual Mono/Stereo Compressor with Gating
The DC 22 from Rane is a two-channel processor with independent compressor, gate and limiter per channel. Controls include separate gate threshold, compression threshold and ratio and output level. Designed for the working musician or DJ, the unit provides performance and simplicity without compromise in audio quality or dependability. The adjustable gate is a downward expander, acting like a compressor running in reverse, making the quiet parts quieter. This is valuable in reducing system background noise. The ratio is fixed at 2:1. When the signal drops below the set threshold, the indicator lights and the output level is reduced by 2dB for every 1dB the input signal level drops. The DC 22 can also operate as a true stereo device with a Link switch providing true Master/Slave operation of gate, compression and output level functions. Each channel features a bypass switch that disconnects the dynamics processing and connects the buffered input to the output amplifiers. Featuring two channel processor with independent compressor, gate and limiter per channel.
