■500 series module
■Next Level stereo multiband compressor

Multiband compressors can finely control the dynamic range of various frequency bands, so they have contributed to creating a sense of balance and punch in many recordings.

_Pandora takes this to the ""Next Level"" by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge digital recall and automation. Deliver an unparalleled stereo analog compression experience.

With precise multiband control and an intuitive digital interface, Pandora provides the perfect blend of analog sonic depth and contemporary digital technology for studio work around the world. This is the future of compression!

■Analog sound, digital recall.
_PANDORA is a stereo multiband compressor of the future that not only provides band-specific analog compression, but also provides one of the most useful features in audio production: total recall.

With complete plug-in control via VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX, _PANDORA is compatible with all major DAW systems for seamless analog and digital integration. Save and instantly recall settings from your digital environment while maintaining a pure analog sound.

Of course, you can also easily draw analog automation from within your DAW. Just draw an automation line and your analog devices will seamlessly follow!

Complete digital-to-analog integration revolutionizes your workflow, allowing smooth recall of settings and superior control within a digital environment. You can also write automation directly into your DAW using touch-sensitive encoders, allowing you to quickly adjust and fine-tune settings.

It's also easy to instantly switch between multiple analog settings for comparative listening. _Pandora allows you to easily switch between two parallel settings with the push of a button, even with just a single piece of hardware. DAW plug-ins allow you to save an infinite number of settings and recall them instantly.

Although it has the convenient digital control functions of a plug-in, _PANDORA is a completely analog unit. The signal passes only through analog circuits, and the sound quality is pure analog!

■Flexible and versatile multi-band compression function.
_PANDORA's three bands each have crossover filters from 40Hz to 2kHz and 2kHz to 15kHz. This allows for precise multiband processing, giving you complete control over the dynamics of the bass, mids, and treble.

Furthermore, each band is equipped with an independent VCA compressor, allowing you to control the dynamics of each frequency band individually. Shape your entire mix more precisely.

Equipped with side-chain high-pass and low-pass filters that allow you to select three bands for each of the low and high frequencies. Avoid unnecessary low-end triggers and tightly control bass-heavy content. Or you can isolate problematic high frequencies and trigger compression at the optimal frequency, keeping high frequencies clean and controlled, among many other benefits.

Parallel compression is also possible. A dedicated MIX knob allows you to blend dry and compressed signals.

■Harmonic distortion tuned for each frequency.
Each band in Pandora has a harmonic distortion tuned to that frequency band.

This allows you to achieve the perfect balance of warmth and coloration, bringing out the character of your mix with analog richness!
