Since its introduction, the 3630 Compressor™ has become the most
popular dynamics processor ever made. The reason is easy to understand:
it provides two independent full-featured compressor/ limiters in one
rack space while offering excellent sonic quality for any application
from studio recording to live sound or broadcast. The 3630 offers
Ratio, Threshold, Attack and Decay controls to customize its
compression response for even the toughest signals. You can also choose
between RMS and Peak compression styles, plus Hard and Soft Knee
dynamic curves for every application from subtle gain control to
in-your-face punch. As an independent dual-channel compressor, the 3630
offers separate controls for two different source signals. Plus, two
fully independent gates with threshold and rate controls allow you to
easily and efficiently stifle unwanted ambient noise. Other advanced
dynamics processing features such as precise signal metering, a
sidechain for keying or ducking effects and stereo linkable operation
make the 3630 the most powerful compressor in its class.
