Description Brace Yourself for the Highly Anticipated Pendulum Audio OCL-500 - Based on the Classic OCL-2! Since its introduction in 1998, the Pendulum OCL-2 Compressor/Limiter has become a modern classic. In fact, the OCL-2 changed the way users think about opto compression! Our custom opto cell provides fast, invisible compression without the artifacts and sluggish response inherent in vintage designs.
Pendulum Audio OCL-500 Features :
- OCL-2 compression profile with proprietary opto cell
- Six time constants with fast, RMS, multi-slope and average
- Class A solid-state (no tubes)
- Sidechain hi-pass filter
- Single-space 500 series rack format
The OCL-500 features the same compression circuit as its predecessor from yester-decade, but a transformerless, class A, solid-state gain makeup circuit replaces the tube stage from the OC-2.
The result is clean, transparent compression that can be used to shape the dynamics of any source while preserving its tone.
Also, drawing off the OCL-2, the OCL-500 has a wide variety of time constants and dynamic control to optimize the compression characteristics, including a sidechain hi-pass filter.
