JOEMEEK compressor and the whole JOEMEEK range of professional audio
equipment. Ted worked in the studio with Joe Meek, the legendary record
producer, in the mid 1960s.

Страница 3: ... SC4 brings the Joemeek compressor fully up to date with the addition of a super quality yet flexible digital interface and the introduction of some new features to make working in the digital domain even easier In the Joemeek studio we have been experimenting with sum and difference or MS recording and processing this is a technique where a stereo signal is changed to sum and difference the sum r...

Страница 4: ... processing the width information independently of the volume information The signals go through the compression circuits where a non linear sidechain drives light sources and the actual compression is done with photo resistors This is the heart of the Joemeek sound Because of the difficulties in achieving a true hard wired bypass switch especially with digital the compression in out switch has th...

Страница 5: ...After compression and the analogue output gain control the decoded audio signal drives both the analogue output stages and the analogue to digital converters The clocking of the digital output is selectable A local remote switch selects whether the output follows the incoming clock or generates a local clock Another select switch determines the local clock setting 44 1 or 48KHz LEDs show the selec...
