The Chandler Germanium Compressor 19" is a compressor, featuring a width of 19", with a discrete transistor circuit, mono channels, XLR inputs and outputs, and a TRS link. The Germanium Compressor starts with the same all Class-A amp found in the Germanium Pre and Tone Control and is transformer balanced in and out. The compression circuit uses an FET gain reduction element.
This compressor comes with a Wet/Dry mix for "submixing" tracks within the comp, a Comp Curve which selects the knee using various diode combinations, a Clean/Dirty comp and Sidechain filter. All Germanium units require and function on the PSU-1, Chandler Limited power supply. The PSU-1 has an internal switch for setting voltage to 120V or 220V (115V/230V).
