The circuit stays tube-based and optical, with the triple optoelectronic detector and Cinemag transformers on both input and output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree response speeds in one module\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlow mode behaves like a classic opto: a gentle attack onset passes the initial transient, so a snare keeps its hit while its level is being controlled. Fast clamps down far harder and covers ground where a FET compressor would normally be the answer. Normal sits between the two and handles most vocals on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClean to dirty without changing units\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA class A gain stage and Cinemag transformers add saturation progressively as input level rises. In practice one module covers gentle vocal control, added weight on bass, and a heavily crushed drum track, without reaching for a second piece of hardware. The module occupies two slots in a 500 series rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLA-3 limiter topology in 500 series format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriple optoelectronic circuit combining three compression curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNormal, Fast and Slow modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass A gain stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCinemag input and output transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTonal range from clean to saturated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOccupies two 500 series slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: tube optical limiter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 500 series module, two slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetection: triple optoelectronic circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModes: Normal, Fast, Slow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain stage: class A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput transformer: Cinemag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput transformer: Cinemag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannels: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: from the 500 series rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ACME","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54554195919185,"sku":"60750","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/AcmeAudioOpticomXLA500.jpg?v=1786971626","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/acme-audio-opticom-xla500","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
