In keeping with the other plug-ins in the 'SV' series, the SV-315 Compressor employs physical modelling technology to provide a classic compressor/limiter with true analogue characteristics, but offers a flexibility that can only be obtained from a digital processor.

Extended information

The SV-315 Compressor was developed with Sonalksis 'State-Space' technology, by a team of engineers that have many years experience designing pro-audio systems for established industry leaders.

Due to its flexibility, the SV-315 is suitable both for tracking and mastering environments, and imparts character and warmth on programme material through its essentially analogue design. So whether you want to gently smooth a vocal, totally crush some drums, or compress an entire mix, this processor will do it with superior polish.

Technical specifications

- Independent compressor and limiter models
- Sonalksis 'State-space' physical model design for true analogue response
