Renowned for its accuracy, transparency, and punch, this topology has shaped countless hit records at studios such as Abbey Road, AIR Studios, and The Village. Now, that same sonic authority is available in a single-slot 500-series module - delivering uncompromised, console-grade performance for tracking, mixing, and mastering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eSet-and-Forget Simplicity with Auto Make-Up Gain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eA feature rarely seen in analogue compression, Auto Make-Up Gain automatically adjusts output levels as threshold and ratio settings change. This intelligent design maintains consistent gain structure and makes operation faster and more intuitive - allowing engineers to focus on creativity rather than calibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eConsole-Style Group Compression\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eUsing the same technology from the 88RS console’s VCA bus linking system, multiple 88R LBC units can be linked together to form true compression groups within a compatible 500-series chassis. Each unit retains its own independent controls while sharing a common sidechain, enabling natural and cohesive group compression with per-channel refinement - authentic large-format workflow in the palm of your hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eShaping Sound with Precision\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eA selectable sidechain filter (Off \/ 80Hz \/ 125Hz \/ 300Hz) offers flexible control over low-frequency response and compressor sensitivity.
