Rupert Neve Designs 5046 OptoFET

From subtle vocal control to extreme envelope shaping rich in harmonic character, OptoFET is a highly versatile analog compressor and wave shaper. It combines a newly designed FET compression circuit with an optimized optical compressor, all housed within a single rack space.

OptoFET offers two primary compression modes. In Dual-Stage mode, the FET and OPTO compressors are placed in series, delivering precise and musical dynamic control over critical sources and simplifying a classic recording and mixing technique. In Dual-Band mode, each compressor is assigned to either the low or high frequency band, allowing independent processing and opening up an entirely new level of tonal shaping and dynamic flexibility.

Features:

All new FET compressor design and optimized OPTO compressor design in a single 1U unit

Flexible Dual-Stage or Dual-Band compression modes

Independent, comprehensive control sets for each compressor for unprecedented levels of dynamic and harmonic control

All-new GRIT and BLOOM modes greatly enhance harmonic content and allow for source wave shaping

Independent Blend controls for each compressor, making parallel processing a breeze

Dual Stage mode: Easily flip the order of each compressor with the touch of a button

Dual Band mode: Crossover control allows each compressor to process either frequency band (low or high) independently

Make-up gains can be used with crossover for tonal balance adjustments

Combine 2 units for extremely versatile dual mono processing on stereo sources

Global Input & Output Trim for total control over gain staging and harmonics
