Overview

A re-engineered compressor featuring the original compressor circuit with a comprehensive, easy-to-use format.

The API Select SV12 features the original compressor circuit designed for the ATI Paragon live analog mixing consoles.

Two channels can be linked for use as a stereo compressor with true RMS power summing of the left and right signals.
