for vocals. With its superb signal path, outstanding ease of use, and an integrated all in one design, it is a powerful tool for voice recording in all situations from music studios to post production. The compressor design is taken straight from the Red 3, and as on that unit, is characterised by low noise and distortion even with heavy processing. Relatively heavy compression can be applied whilst retaining a transparent natural sound. Ratio, gain make up, threshold, attack and release are all continuously variable, and a program dependent auto release mode can be switched in. A swept high pass filter allows effective treatment of problems such as rumble, bass lift and proximity effect.The de esserexciter stage can be switched to provide frequency selective compression de essing or excitation. The amount and centre frequency of the processor are continuously variable, and as all the units dynamics still use the Focusrite single VCA technique, unwanted colouration of the sound is kept to an absolute minimum. A clear VU meter shows level after the pre amp gain control, or displays compressor gain change. Hand made in the UKCrafted to the highest standards, all the Red Processors are manufactured solely in the UK using machine tooled, half inch thick claret red anodised aluminium. Classic transformer based pre ampThe benefits of Focusrites classic pre amp topology include superb common mode rejection, an excellent overload margin, an extremely low noise floor an
