INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a Phonic professional
audio product. The A6500 OPTIMIZER is a
new generation two-channel audio compressor
featuring dual-band controls with variable
crossover frequency. Each band has its own
independent controls for compression threshold,
ratio, and attack time. The LED meters provide
immediate display of the input, output, and gain
reduction levels. A bypass switch in each channel
allows quick comparison between the processed
and unprocessed signals. The LINK option allows
simultaneous control of both channels.
The dynamic controls on the OPTIMIZER
effectively eliminate the excessive signal level
from microphones or other sources in a live
event or studio recording session, making
this compressor an indispensable tool for any
professional audio engineer.
