ToneLux Dynalux
MPN #Dynalux
Dual channel all-discrete analog compressor, blendable feedback/feed-forward styles, wet/dry mix, Tilt and IPN filters, autogain, stereo link, 4 VU meters
The Tonelux Dynalux is a dual-channel, all-discrete analog compressor that blends vintage tone with modern control. Designed by Paul Wolff and the Tonelux team, it features custom TX-series op-amps and transformers for punchy, detailed sound.
With a unique TYPE control, the Dynalux seamlessly blends feedback and feed-forward compression styles. Built-in Wet/Dry MIX, Autogain, manual makeup gain, and Tilt EQ with IPN filtering give you advanced tonal shaping and sidechain control. Use it in dual mono, linked stereo, or VARILINK mode to fine-tune channel interaction. Complete with VU metering, fast/slow attack and release, and transformer-balanced outputs, the Dynalux is a flexible powerhouse for tracking or mixing.
Caractéristiques
Dual-Channel Compression: Two independent channels in one 2U rack unit, usable in mono, stereo, or variable link mode.Signature Tonelux Circuitry: Built with proprietary Tonelux op-amps, output stage, and transformers for rich, clear tone.Blended Compression Types: TYPE control lets you fade between classic feedback and modern feed-forward compression styles.True Parallel Compression: Built-in MIX knob blends compressed and dry signals right in the unit-no external routing needed.Flexible Dynamics Control: Adjustable threshold, attack, release, ratio (1.5:1 to 20:1), plus extreme "Over" compression mode.Automatic or Manual Gain Make-Up: Choose between auto gain leveling or manual adjustment to match output levels.TILT EQ and IPN Filter: Sidechain EQ adds high-end presence or tightens low-end response; IPN mimics human hearing for better dynamic behavior.External Sidechain Inputs: Use external sources to trigger compression for creative mix control (e.g. ducking effects).Fast to Smooth Attack Options: Includes an X5 switch for ultra-fast microsecond attack settings.Smart Release Circuit: Auto-adjusting multi-stage release adapts to frequency for transparent control.Dual Mono or Stereo Linking: Use channels independently, or in stereo with full linking and control handoff.Varilink Control: Fine-tune how much channel 1 and 2 influence each other's dynamics for a hybrid stereo/mono response.Four VU Meters: Input/output levels and gain reduction clearly displayed per channel.Transformer-Coupled Output: Adds optional analog warmth when not bypassed.Bypass Safe on Power Loss: Automatically routes input directly to output if power is lost.Rackmount Ready: 2U chassis with front-panel switches and controls for easy studio use.

Compression Controls:
TYPE control blends compression styles between 100 percent feedback and 100 percent feed forwardRATIO control variable from 1.5 to 1 up to 20 to 1OVER COMPRESSION range available beyond 20 to 1 for negative ratio limitingAUTOGAIN automatically compensates level in OVER COMPRESSION modeMAKEUP GAIN manual output boost control from 0 to plus 15 dBuTHRESHOLD control variable from minus 20 dBu to plus 20 dBuATTACK control variable from ultra fast microsecond range to 50 millisecondsX5 switch enables extended ultra fast attack responseRELEASE control variable from instantaneous to 3 secondsThree stage release circuit provides faster release for high frequenciesMIX control for parallel compression from fully dry to fully wetMIX center position provides equal 50 percent dry and 50 percent wet signal
Sidechain Features:
External sidechain input per channel switchable via EXT S/CH toggleSidechain input normalized to channel input when not in useTILT EQ boosts highs and cuts lows or vice versa up to 6 dBIPN Inverse Power Noise filter simulates human ear response for more musical detectionTILT and IPN filters only affect sidechain signal going into RMS detector
Stereo Linking and VARILINK:
Operates in dual mono mode with independent channel controlOperates in stereo master slave mode with channel one as control masterVARILINK allows dynamic interaction between channels via control voltage sharingLINK percentage control variable from 50 percent to 100 percentControl voltage from either channel can influence the other in both directionsEnables reactive compression based on whichever channel has the dominant signal
Metering and Indicators:
Two analog VU meters per channelUpper VU meter selectable for input or output via MTR switchLower VU meter dedicated to gain reduction displayGain reduction meter active regardless of dynamics in or out statusTH LED indicates signal exceeding set thresholdCONTROLS ACTIVE LED indicates dynamics path is engagedMetering always reflects true signal processing conditions
Use Case and Applications:
Suitable for tracking, mixing, mastering, and bus compressionParallel compression, extreme transient shaping, and transformer coloration in one unitIdeal for drums, vocals, keys, stereo program, or aggressive dynamic controlDesigned for high end studio use requiring sonic flexibility and analog warmth
