WMDevices Bus Rider Stereo Multiband EQ/Dynamics Processor Module

End-of-chain processing in a compact 4hp package, the Bus Rider offers a combination of stereo EQ and dynamics processing, including multi-band compression and look-ahead limiting. Supplier's Notes: Bus Rider is a stereo multiband EQ/dynamics processor + lookahead limiter designed for on the fly mastering at the end of your signal chain. It's also useful for submix and individual channel processing. The Isolator EQ is a great performance tool beyond fitting your mix to the room. EQ, multiband compression, and limiting, all in one module At the top of the module, a three way toggle switch lets you choose between pages of controls. The SHIFT button gives access to secondary functions, allowing you to change the "set and forget" set of features with ease. ISO: The left position gives you control of 3 band isolator eq with +12dB boost and total cut (-8) for each band. The shift functions let you change the low and high band crossover points. DYN: The center position enables the interface for the multiband compressor with controls for threshold and ratio on each band. LIMIT: With the switch to the right, the interface is in control over a lookahead limiter with controls for input gain, ceiling, release time, and saturation. Compact interface with thoughtful design Bus Rider has an intuitive layout and interface. The LEDs will match the color of the labels on the panel, reminding you which set of controls you are currently using. The LED bar on the right acts as an overall VU meter, showing gain reduction in the limiter section, and switches to display the value of whichever knob is currently being turned. All sections of the module are active at all times, each can be made inactive by setting the knobs appropriately. The entire module can be bypassed with the I/O button. The module's audio signal path begins at the crossovers, then runs through the multiband compressor, eq, and is recombined before going into the lookahead limiter. BUTTONS AND SWITCHES I/O: Bypasses all sections of the module LOW MONO: Sums the low band to mono for ultimate sound system compatibility PRESET: 9 user settable / recallable presets. SHIFT: Hold and press buttons or turn knobs for shift functionality. EQ, DYN, LIMIT: Switches between the three pages of controls. ISO EQ HIGH: Level control for the high band XOVER: Crossover frequency for the high band MID: Level control for the mid band LOW: Level control for the low band XOVER: Crossover frequency for the low band DYN H: THLD: Threshold control for the high band RATIO: Ratio control for the high band M: THLD: Threshold control for the mid band RATIO: Ratio control for the mid band L: THLD: Threshold control for the low band RATIO: Ratio control for the low band LIMIT GAIN: Input gain to push your signal into the limiter ceiling CEIL: Adjusts the limiter ceiling RELEASE: Adjusts the release time for the limiter. Attack time is determined by the lookahead buffer (1.5 ms). LINK: Stereo Linking on or off for the detector. SAT: Adjusts the input gain into the saturation (mid-high bands only) CLIP: Threshold for hard clipping in the Saturator (mid-high bands only) JACKS LOW CUT: CV input over the low band ISO EQ level to cut the lows CV: Assignable CV input IN L / IN R: Stereo input OUT L / OUT R: Stereo output Specifications Width: 4HP Depth: 38mm (with cables) Power: +74mA, -12mA Audio Inputs: 41kO impedance, 22Vpp Range Audio Outputs: 470O, 21Vpp Range CV Inputs: 100kO impedance, +-5V Processing: 24 bit / 96kHz
