This is the same compressor circuit originally designed into the ATI Paragon mixing consoles. The V12 conforms to API's 500 Series format and is a member of API's VPR Alliance.

The unit includes the patented THRUST circuitry to protect the sensitive high frequency content of the audio signal even under the most vigorous of compression ratios. The perfect companion to your V10 mic-preamp and V14 EQ, the V12 compressor provides comprehensive easy-to-use control of the audio signal with concise LED metering of both output and gain reduction. Two channels can even be linked for use as a stereo compressor with true RMS power summing of the left and right signals
