SuperCarrier II is the direct evolution of the original SuperCarrier — the same VCA circuit that defined the sound of master bus compression in recordings from the late 1980s and 1990s, now with full recall and automation via VST\/AU, USB, and MIDI with zero digital processing in the signal path. Two independent VCA channels with stereo link, M\/S matrix, switchable input transformer, and external sidechain. Stepper motors move physical potentiometers in response to DAW automation. A tool for stereo bus compression, mixing, and mastering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSSL G-Bus style VCA — the characteristic mix bus glue\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe VCA circuit in SuperCarrier II is based on the SSL G-Bus architecture — the topology that for decades has been synonymous with \"glue\": the characteristic coherence and uniformity that G-Bus compression adds to a final mix. Ratio: 2:1, 4:1, 10:1, and 20:1 — covering gentle compression through hard limiting. Attack: 0.1 ms, 0.3 ms, 1 ms, 3 ms, 10 ms, 30 ms — six positions for precise setting of the compression entry point relative to transients. Release: 0.1 s, 0.3 s, 0.6 s, Auto — classic SSL G-Bus times with an Auto mode for program-dependent release. Makeup gain is automatic or manual. The Auto Release mode analyzes the program material and adjusts release time dynamically, minimizing pumping on complex musical signals. An IN\/OUT switch per channel enables instant A\/B between compressed and unprocessed signal — true bypass when disengaged with no effect on the signal path. VU meters per channel with switchable indication modes (Input \/ Output \/ GR).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eM\/S, input transformer, sidechain, and DAW integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe built-in M\/S matrix with encoder and decoder enables independent compression of the Mid and Side channels — selective compression of the stereo center without side-channel pumping, and vice versa. The switchable input transformer (Transformerless \/ Transformer-Coupled) provides two input path characters without any rewiring. An external sidechain input per channel supports advanced de-esser or ducking configurations. SuperCarrier II VST\/AU plug-ins enable DAW automation and recall: stepper motors move physical potentiometers according to DAW automation; 16-bit-per-parameter recall guarantees identical physical settings at every session recall. SuperCarrier II is available as a 500-series module (2-slot) and in the Starlight 2U desktop version with an internal power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStereo VCA compressor SSL G-Bus style 2U with full digital integration (analog signal path)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTwo independent VCA channels — stereo link or dual mono mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRatio: 2:1 \/ 4:1 \/ 10:1 \/ 20:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAttack: 0.1 \/ 0.3 \/ 1 \/ 3 \/ 10 \/ 30 ms (6 positions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRelease: 0.1 \/ 0.3 \/ 0.6 s + Auto (program-dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMakeup gain: automatic or manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTrue bypass per channel (IN\/OUT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in M\/S matrix — independent Mid and Side compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSwitchable input transformer: Transformerless \/ Transformer-Coupled\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExternal sidechain input per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFull DAW automation (VST\/AU) with physical potentiometer movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFull preset recall 16-bit per parameter via USB and MIDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eZero digital processing in the signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVU meters per channel — Input \/ Output \/ GR modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: 2U desktop Starlight (alternative: 2-slot 500-series module)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: stereo VCA compressor SSL G-Bus style, 2U rack desktop (Starlight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSignal path: fully analog, VCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eChannels: 2 (stereo link or dual mono)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRatio: 2:1 \/ 4:1 \/ 10:1 \/ 20:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAttack: 0.1 \/ 0.3 \/ 1 \/ 3 \/ 10 \/ 30 ms\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRelease: 0.1 \/ 0.3 \/ 0.6 s + Auto\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMakeup gain: Auto \/ Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBypass: true bypass per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eM\/S matrix: built-in encoder\/decoder, switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInput transformer: switchable (Transformerless \/ Transformer-Coupled)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSidechain: external per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDigital integration: VST\/AU, USB, MIDI\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAutomation: 16-bit per parameter, physical potentiometer movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVU meters: per channel, Input \/ Output \/ GR modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eI\/O: balanced XLR (stereo in\/out + sidechain in per channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: internal (Starlight 2U)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFormat: 2U rack desktop (Starlight); alternative 500-series module (2-slot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WesAudio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53769655615825,"sku":"44926","price":818.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/WesAudioSupercarrierII1.jpg?v=1778757626","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/en-fr\/products\/wes-audio-supercarrierii","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
