Tube Tech SMC2B Multiband Compressor

The TUBE-TECH SMC 2B Stereo Multiband Compressor is a high-end audio tool featuring three independent optical stereo compressors, providing unparalleled control over your mix. Its ability to combine wide 3-band level control with individual compression across Low, Mid, and High frequency bands delivers exceptional results, making it a versatile choice for the main mix bus, drum buses, instrument groups, and individual tracks.

Key Features:

Three-Band Design

The audio signal is divided into three bands (Low, Mid, High) using 6 dB/octave crossover networks with adjustable frequencies:
Low/Mid: 60 Hz to 1.2 kHz
Mid/High: 1.2 kHz to 6 kHz
The crossover design ensures precise summing, delivering a flat frequency response (±0.25 dB) when band gain settings are equal.
Independent Compression Controls

Each band includes adjustable parameters:
Threshold
Ratio
Attack
Release

A dedicated LED display provides visual feedback for gain reduction.
Master Output Controls

Output Gain: Off to +10 dB
