<p>With its true stereo operation, the <strong>SUCCESSOR</strong> utilizes matched gain cells for precise left/right tracking and minimal offset between channels. The compressor operates in Oxford mode, where the highest signal dictates compression, enhancing the overall coherence of your stereo image.</p>
<p>The Carnhill transformer coupling provides balanced inputs and outputs, imparting a warm, vintage essence to your audio. The ‘73 style Class A output stages replicate the cherished sound of classic recordings, making it an ideal choice for mixing and drum buses.</p>
<p>With ultra-fast attack and release settings that are unparalleled in vintage designs, users have greater flexibility in shaping their audio with FET-like characteristics, maximizing volume without causing transient artifacts. Enhanced sidechain filtering options introduce mid-band peak filters and high-frequency compression, facilitating bus corrections that were previously unattainable.</p>
