Incredibly transparent, utilitarian compressor/limiter - when it was released in the early 00's, was originally meant to compete with the equally transparent and utilitarian Alesis 3630 (which was being discontinued around that time). Definitely a color-less set of dynamics, good for basic use.

From Samson:

The S-com is a highly adaptable stereo compressor/limiter in an efficient single rackspace design. It is intended for situations where extra flexibility is required to optimize signal levels by delivering essential control along with simplicity of operation.

S-com plus's comprehensive and wide-ranging controls provide extensive manipulation of audio dynamics, even in the most complex situations. Each channel features a wide range of variable control. A feature-rich Compressor section includes variable Threshold, Ratio, Attack and Release controls. Samson's SKD (Smart Knee Detector) circuit dynamically adjusts the compression curve to ensure a musical result.

Our exclusive AEG (Auto Envelope Generator) function simplifies optimum settings by constantly analyzing the audio input and automatically adjusting the attack and release parameters based on the changing level. Key Inputs and Outputs are included for externally processing the control voltage.

The Expander/Gate features a variable threshold level and switchable release time (fast or slow). The Gate switch changes the downward expander ratio from "light" to "hard" gating for control ranging from subtle to an obvious effect.

The Enhancer switch engages the EFR (Enhanced Frequency Recovery) circuit, which restores high frequencies that are sometimes diminished by heavy compression. Extensive metering includes Input/Output, Gain Reduction, Gate Open/Close and Limiting.
