IGS AUDIO S-TYPE 500 – stereo VCA compressor The S-Type is a typical VCA compressor well known as the core of the legendary British sound. The heart of the compressor is the THAT chip instead of the now unavailable DBX. The analogue path is balanced with ultra-fast op-amps.

OUTPUT THRESHOLD MODE MIX KNOB RELEASE ATTACK RATIO SIDECHAIN VU METER Big VU meter showing the amount of gain reduction. THRESHOLD Above this level of the input signal the compression will occur. Use it to control the amount of compression. SIDECHAIN This switch applies the high pass filtering to the sidechain circuit.
In 'New York' mode only the left channel is being used to control both VCA stages. That allows you to use the S-TYPE 500 as a mono side-chain compressor where the signal at the left input controls the amount of the compression applied to the right channel.
