Extreme audio
The ACP88 is an eight-channel dynamics processor designed to provide compression, limiting, and noise gating in a variety
of applications; such as multitrack recording, live sound reinforcement, broadcast and permanent sound installations. Value
for the dollar is unmatched. Quality is uncompromised. Thousands of these units are in use around the world. The best names
in the business depend on this unit. We think you will too!
Each channel on the ACP88 provides crystal clear, musical compression and is equipped with full-featured controls including
variable attack and release and switchable soft/hard knee. Also, an “Auto” mode on every channel takes the guesswork out
of setting the compressor. The noise gates are excellent for cleaning up drums, vocals, and instruments. Gate feature set
includes; threshold, variable attack & release times and gate range controls. The Gate boasts a Gate Key/Sidechain for precise
frequency gating applications. In addition, each channel has a seven-segment LED meter that displays gain reduction, and
an LED indicator for gate position (open/close) and compression threshold (above/below). A unique linking function makes it
possible for any channel to be linked to the previous. This comprehensive bus can link two to eight channels together in any
order as well as create various link groups. De-essing, ducking and other forms of spectral processing can be accomplished
using the compressor Sidechain provided on every channel.
At the heart of the ACP88 is the much respected THAT 4301s VCA. This VCA has unsurpassed dynamic range, extremely low
distortion charateristics and virtually no noise. Conclusion? There is nothing that can compare to the space/performance
benefits of the ACP88 at any price.
All inputs and outputs are 1/4” TRS balanced or unbalanced, and each channel has a selectable +4dBu/-10dBV switch. The
unit is housed in a two-rack-space, all-steel chassis and has a switchable power transformer for international use. With its
superior sound quality and features, the ACP-88 is a workhorse-processor that truly affords Total Dynamics Control.
