The PowerGrid Duo enclosure integrates XLR input and output connectors directly into a single-rackspace unit, removing the need for a separate power supply and lunchbox for two modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConsistent Stereo Compression Without Manually Syncing Two Units\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding a stereo pair from two separate single-channel compressors often runs into mismatched behavior between the two paths, caused by production tolerances or imprecise setting alignment. PUMP Duo solves this with digitally-stepped Attack and Release knobs that let identical settings be precisely and repeatably reproduced on both modules, while the ability to manually sync two PUMP units helps maintain a coherent stereo image on a mix bus or across an overhead pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePreserving Transients Across a Dual Compression Path\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeavily squeezing a stereo signal usually costs instrument attack — a drum bus or mix bus loses its punch even if the rest of the signal sounds dense and controlled. The AtMod function, present on both PUMP Duo modules, solves this by slowing the initial slope of the attack envelope, letting more transient content back into the signal without giving up the intended compression level on either channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 PUMP Classic compressors mounted horizontally in a single 1U enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWave Distro PowerGrid Duo chassis with built-in XLR input and output connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 selectable compression ratios per module: 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 6:1, 8:1, 10:1, 12:1, 20:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtMod (Attack Modification) function on both channels simultaneously\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigitally-stepped Attack and Release knobs for precise, repeatable recall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpto-coupler-style Release option (auto-release)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable 70Hz detector high-pass filter on each module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates up to 10dB quieter than the flagship Distressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt for stereo and dual-mono applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned, manufactured, and assembled in the U.S.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: pair of VCA compressors, 500 series format, horizontal mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChassis: Wave Distro PowerGrid Duo, 1U rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 5Hz - 175kHz (-3dB points)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompression ratios: 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 6:1, 8:1, 10:1, 12:1, 20:1 (per channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetector filter: switchable, 70Hz (per channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectors: XLR input and output, built into the PowerGrid Duo chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel count: 2 (independent, with manual sync capability)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Empirical Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54339134914897,"sku":"60646","price":1779.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/EmpiricalLabsEL-PPumpDUOHorizontal1.jpg?v=1784735413","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/empirical-labs-el-p-pump-duo-horizontal","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
