This is the Stam Audio MK1 [SA-4000]: It is highly sought after and rare. This Stereo Buss Compressor is the most authentic recreation of the bus compressor found in the center section of the legendary SSL G Series Console. The unit has the [Switch Option] to activate the [Carnhill Tranformers] Found in NEVE systems for extra weight. VERY RARE* Probably only one left with the Switches..
Modifications were as Following:
On these units we modify both the input, output and buffer stages with High Performance Burr Brown opamps for the utmost fidelity possible from the design through-out the audio path.
Coupling and de-coupling is also performed throughout the circuit as well using carefully chose parts for better frequency response, lower noise and more musicality.
The Auto Release function is tweaked to act more like an original SSL4000
Both VCA's are upgraded to the lowest possible distortion rating and smoothest response.
Stereo balancing is then carefully checked for perfect Left/Right level alignment.
The entire audio path is then finished and upgraded for the best possible bandwidth and lower distortion by a number of trade secrets.
The power supply is then rebuilt and modified for the highest possible rail voltage (the headroom really comes up) in the circuit and lowest possible noise.
The entire design is effectively tuned to sound as musical and natural as possible while maintaining that classic SSL Buss compressor attitude so that any user would be happy with the sound.
The service increases the headroom of the unit, widens the frequency response, lowers the noise and increases the detail of the three dimensional image as well.
As with all of our Services this one has an excellent Price-To-Performance ratio.
