Innovation
The ARX AFTERBURNER
II is a unique
Multi Mode compressor/limiter designed for use in any
professional audio dynamics control application.
Multiple
Modes
The Afterburner can
be set up and used in three different ways:
- In
Two
channel mode, it performs as two independent
compressor/limiters, with 'industry standard' variable
Threshold, Ratio and Output gain.
- In
stereo
mode, our New
Adaptive
Stereo Link
circuitry provides increased stereo imaging accuracy when
linking both channels as a stereo pair.
- A single front panel
switch puts the Afterburner into its alternative
Mono
mode, setting it up as a Single channel, Dual Band
compressor/limiter, with separate dynamics control of
both Low and High frequencies, opening up a whole new
range of gain control techniques.
Enhance
Switch
In any mode, the
Afterburner features an 'Enhance' switch, which provides
frequency restoration to preserve the spectral balance of
the audio signal, compensating for the sagging Low and High
frequency response of compressed program material. Think of
it as a 'smart' loudness control.

LED metering
provides accurate Level status, with separate Gain Reduction
metering in easy to read 'wide scale' meters. There is also
comprehensive LED indication of all operating functions and
status in any mode.
Balanced
Inputs and Outputs
On the rear panel,
each channel has true differential Balanced inputs and
outputs, on both XLR and TRS jack connectors. As well, each
channel has a TRS jack Sidechain access insert point, for
applications such as De-essing (when used with an external
equalizer such as the ARX EQ 260).
Other features include a true Hardwire bypass switch for
each channel, and passive RFI filters on the
inputs.
Universal
AC Power
AC power range is a
universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC, and is connected to
the unit via a removable power lead and standard 3 pin IEC
connector, with built-in fuse and voltage change
switch.
With its smooth compression,
intuitive user friendly layout, high density precision
circuitry, and extensive user-variable operating parameters,
the unique ARX Afterburner is equally at home in Studio,
Installation, Broadcast and Sound Reinforcement
environments. It can provide great sounding dynamics control
effects that are not available with any other
device.
