For the first time ever it is possible to achieve that sought after tone and response in such an affordable package.\n\n\nIn common with its big brother, there is an INPUT GAIN control with an adjustable range of 20dB, the AC Threshold, 5 Attack and Release selectable times, the DC Threshold which gives access to the progressive ratio, which is a unique curve adjustment combining control of the ratio and knee, soft stepped from hard limiting to a very smooth and transparent, light compression. There is also a 3 position high-pass Sidechain filter to reduce the lower frequency´s influence on the detection circuit, a must have nowadays for current productions.\n\nAs this is a stereo unit, a sum of the two channels will determine the overall dBs of gain reduction for both channels ensuring a stable stereo image.  All built into a solid 2 space unit for the popular 500 series format with an attractive age-referencing front panel complete with a beautiful, informative VU meter that not only indicates Gain Reduction metering but also informs the user of the unit’s 3-position Active\/Bypass \/Off switch confirming the status even from a distance. \n\nIt’s not easy to achieve that classic warm, hugging, intimate sound that just seems to effortlessly glue together a MIX in a musical way, but the GRANDCHILD 670\/500 does it perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance: 15 kO.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: 50 O.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Level: +29 dBu.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz ± 0.5 dB.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf Noise: Less than -78 dBu.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarmonic Distortion: Less than 0.5 % at any level up to +24 dBu output (no compression).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W x H x L): 180 mm x 133 mm x 75 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.120 Kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsumption: Slightly over 200mA per rail per slot (+16V\/-16V).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48606213243033,"sku":"GRANDCHILD","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0029\/6999\/3316\/files\/GRANDCHILD.jpg?v=1785844815","url":"https:\/\/rectangletriangle.com\/products\/heritage-audio-grandchild-670-vari-mu-stereo-tube-limiter-compressor","provider":"Rectangle Triangle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
