For many years the RND engineering team experimented with FET compressor designs, but only recently was it felt that the time was right to release the first circuit of its kind. In Dual Stage mode, the FET and OPTO compressors operate in series for total dynamic control over the most critical sources. In Dual Band mode, each compressor works on a different frequency band, allowing independent processing that brings the OptoFET's dynamic and timbral control to an unprecedented level. While maintaining familiar features such as ultra-fast attack times and classic compression ratios, this compressor introduces distinctive elements that make it immediately recognizable as a Rupert Neve Designs product. There are also global controls that allow you to reverse the order of the two compressors in Dual Stage mode, and a variable crossover control to precisely adjust the separation between low and high bands in Dual Band mode. Although it is a mono unit, a pair of OptoFETs used in dual mono can offer a significant impact on stereo stems, groups or even complete mixes. Designed for tracking, touring, mixing, mastering and sound design, the OptoFET ensures exceptional control of the dynamics and timbral shape of the source. The GRIT mode transforms the FET compressor into a powerful wave shaper, introducing harmonic distortion concentrated on high frequencies. It can be used to slightly \"bring out\" a source or to radically transform it, especially in combination with the Blend control. Over the years RND has created several optical compression circuits, but the OptoFET's has been further developed to best complement the faster, high-frequency focused FET compressor. The OPTO compressor generates low-order harmonics and is characterized by slower attack and release times. With BLOOM active, low-order harmonics increase significantly, making the source warmer, rounder and fuller in the low frequencies. It is ideal for refining the timbre without resorting to a traditional EQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type:disc;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNew FET compressor and optimized OPTO compressor in a single 1U unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDual Stage or Dual Band compression modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eComplete and independent controls for each compressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTop-of-the-range dynamic and harmonic control levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent Blend for immediate parallel compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eQuick reversal of compressor order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVariable crossover for independent management of lows and highs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGRIT and BLOOM modes for harmonic enrichment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDual mono use with two units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGlobal input and output trims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 48.3 x 21 x 4.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.6 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53994425614669,"sku":"RN5046","price":2114.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0643\/6173\/files\/216896-large_default.jpg?v=1779956206","url":"https:\/\/musicdelivery.net\/en\/products\/rupert-neve-designs-5046-optofet","provider":"Music Delivery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
