ARSENAL AUDIO MP-R20 MIC PREAMP
The MP-R20 dual-channel mic preamp ($1,195) launches API's new Arsenal Audio line of hand-built analog signal processors. The 2U rackmount unit hosts two high-quality mic/DI preamps with switchable phantom power, phase and pad. You get front panel unbalanced 1/4-inch inputs, along with rear panel XLR balanced inputs and XLR and 1/4-inch balanced outputs. Specs ensure mic-input bandwidth of 20-50k Hz and instrument-input bandwidth of 20-20k Hz. Booth #6409, Hall A

BRICASTI DESIGN MODEL 7
The new Model 7 stereo reverb processor features a revolutionary new reverb algorithm, True Stereo Reverb Process, that accurately creates true acoustic spaces. M7 includes more than 100 powerful, truly unique reverb presets, including halls, plates, rooms, chambers and ambient spaces. The minimalist yet elegant user interface offers a total of 15 parametric program parameters and 50 user registers; four front panel “Favorites” enable quick-saves and A/B comparisons.

CHARTEROAK SCL-1
The SCL-1 discrete sompressor limiter provides a constant output level regardless of input level or frequency, without the familiar pumping and gasping inherent in most compressors. The circuit combines the features of waveform differentiation and integration for fast attack times without overcompensation and a release characteristic that's a function of dynamic range and average program level. This is achieved via a rectifier circuit having a parabolic average charge curve. The result is a quick release that releases to a continually changing average level, determined by the parabolic charge curve of the storage capacitors. The SCL-1 can be used stereo or as two independent limiters. Booth#1861, Hall E

EMPIRICAL LABS DERRESSER
The DerrEsser is a multi-unction dynamic filtering device in an API 500 Series module format. In its basic "DS" mode, the DerrEsser is an effective, level-insensitive de-esser, which is a device that will adjust the high-frequency gain on overly trebly/spiky vocal or other source. By using a crossover technique and dividing the audio up into a high-frequency range and a low-frequency range, the DerrEsser can use its voltage-controlled amp to turn down comparatively high or harsh highs in an extremely musical manner. However, unlike other de-essers, the device is not limited to just de-essing and allows for multiple other uses of its circuitry. Booth #6110, Hall A

FOCUSRITE LIQUID SAFFIRE 56
This new 8-channel interface from Focusrite has two channels of Liquid Technology preamps. Each of the Liquid Preamps gives users a choice of 10 emulations of the most revered preamps in recording history, including the Neve 1073, Pultec MB-1, Telefunken V72 and more. Using the same technology from the TEC Award–winning Liquid Channel, the Liquid Saffire is a breakthough and totally unique to Focusrite. Booth #6474, Hall A

FOREST AUDIO F15 ROUNDBACK INSTRUMENT PREAMP
The F15 Roundback is a combination 2-channel instrument preamp, direct box and re-amper. It features ultrahigh-performance, Class-A, feed-forward topology for the ultimate in signal purity. There are no op amps in the main audio circuit or signal-degrading negative feedback loops. This is further enhanced with Drag Control™ load correction. For acoustic instruments, the F15 has a built-in piezo signal booster for gain and a 10-megohm input impedance. This is augmented with switchable 6V and 12V phantom powering for miniature electret instrument microphones. Outputs include a complement of dual-mono or mixed balanced outputs with choice of 1/4-inch and XLRs. Booth #6959, Hall A

RADIAL PHAZERBANK PHASE ADJUSTMENT TOOL
The Radial PhazerBank is a 4-channel version of the popular Phazer phase-alignment tool. Designed primarily for live touring, the rackmount PhazerBank has four independent phas-adjustment circuits that let the engineer quickly dial in the appropriate phase shift when combining two signals. A typical application is combining a miked guitar cabinet with a direct feed. Applied on bass guitar, the engineer can now time-align the P.A. with the onstage bass amp. On kick, the overhead and kick mics can be brought together for a tighter, more distinct "thump," while on snare, the hi-hat and snare mics can be tweaked for precise snap. For added versatility, each Phazer is equipped with a lowpass filter to allow the user to "focus the beam" on the desired frequency spectrum. Booth #6959, Hall A
