The Alta Moda Audio Hippo is a high-performance bus compressor designed for the 500-series compatible rack systems. The Hippo is based on a VCA topology made popular in highly successful recording consoles of the 1980's, but includes many modern features not found on typical bus compressors.
Features
• Wide Control Ranges
The Hippo features extended attack, release and ratio settings for wider control ranges. Selected controls are continuously-variable for enhanced resolution and versatility.
• Enhanced Bass Control
Six-position High Pass Filter on side chain for better control of bass-heavy material.
• Warmth Control
Six-position Warmth control adds rich harmonic distortion to fatten tracks.
• Dual/Stereo Detectors
Unique channel linking options allow for better control of stereo imaging, including the ability to run the channel detectors independently of one another (Dual mode).
• High Resolution Metering
Dual, 20-segment gain-reduction meters monitor both detectors with 1dB resolution.
• Blend Control
Blend control allows varying the output between dry and compressed signal for more subtle compression effects.
• Hard Wire Bypass
Gold-contact relays completely remove unit from signal path when bypassed.
