Optimizer Audio Compressor

A6500

Overview

The Phonic A6500 Optimizer is a rackmountable, 2-channel audio compressor featuring dual-band controls with variable crossover frequency. Each band has its own independent controls for compression threshold, ratio, attack time, and release time. The LED meters provide instant display of the input, output, and gain reduction levels. A bypass switch in each channel allows quick comparison between the processed and unprocessed sounds. The rack compressor's link function allows simultaneous control over both channels. The dynamic controls of the Phonic Optimizer effectively eliminate the excessive level of signals from microphones or other sources in a studio recording session or during a live event, making this signal processor an indispensable tool for professional audio production.
