The compressor offers ratios ranging from 1.5:1 to 6:1, threshold selection from -20 to +10 dBu, 100 to 1500 ms release, and variable makeup gain control. The limiter section provides 50 to 500 ms release times and +4 to +15 dBu threshold selection. Both compressor and limiter sections contain two automatic release presets and switchable Fast or Slow attack settings. Custom Midas transformers provide balancing for all I/O, which includes two XLR inputs, two XLR outputs, and a DB-15 external control terminal. You can keep an eye on your signal processing easily with the two large vintage-style gain reduction meters. The 369 includes a power cable and an integrated universal, switching power supply.
Dual-Channel Operation
The 369 is both a compressor and limiter that offers two distinct modes to control the dynamics of any audio signal passing through. The compressor section gives you a more subtle and musical compression while the limiter section clamps down on peaks in your audio signal more aggressively. Each section is equipped with rotary switches, allowing for precise and repeatable settings, which means consistent compression for every recording or mastering session. You can even set both channels at exactly the same settings if that is what your mix demands.
The Golden Ratio
The 369 compressor gives you plenty of controls, offering a smooth and musical approach to sculpting the dynamic range without compromising your signal’s natural characteristics or the vibe you spent time on recording and mixing. Adjustable Threshold, Recovery, Gain, and Ratio controls allow you to set when the compression kicks in, how fast it grabs your sound, and when it lets go of it again.
With compression ratios from 1.5:1 up to 6:1, the 369 can be as gentle or aggressive as your track needs it to be to sound its best. Presets on the Recovery setting set a defined baseline decay time that automatically adapts to the signal introduced into the 369.
Time to Clamp Down
The 369’s Limiter takes a more aggressive approach to controlling peaks and dynamics than the compressor part of the unit. Threshold determines at what specific level the Limiter engages, while Recovery controls how fast the Limiter bounces back to normal.
- 50 to 800 ms Recovery time selection
- Two automatic Recovery presets per limiter (and compressor)
- +4 to +15 dBu Threshold selection
- Fast or Slow attack-time switches per channel
- Independent limiter bypass switch per channel
Additional Controls
Being a two-channel compressor, you can set 369 to stereo or mono operation at the flick of a switch. You can also bypass each compressor and limiter individually for increased flexibility. Further, the Control switch lets you to toggle between Internal control, allowing you to adjust Mono/Stereo and Bypass functions front panel itself, or External control for remote control via a mixer such as the Behringer WING or any other custom-built remote-control device connected to the Tandem Control Voltage socket on the rear panel.
Ready for Your Studio
The 2 RU rackmount chassis of the 369 is extremely sturdy. While born for taking up just a few units of your precious rack real estate, it happily sits in a rack case for when you sometimes record on location or want to use it for live sound applications where portability and mobility are key.
