INTRODUCTION

A Designs Audio Inc.

Introduces the HM2 Compressor

A Designs Audio Inc. is proud to produce a new design of compression to professionals in the audio

recording industry. We call it the HM2 Compressor ( Dual channel with stereo link) or as we here at

the shop refer to it as The Nail.

Our goal was to bring a Hybrid of tubes and solid state design technology to market that will integrate

with the digital world and at the same time delivering analog warmth with a hint of color and richness

to your recordings.

The Nail does just that and more with some new concepts in the art of compression with features

such as a Hard Threshold, Filter, and Mix.

The Hard Threshold works with 3 stages, Threshold, Hard Threshold, and Filter. With the Hard

Threshold in off position the Threshold feature reacts more like a Gain Reduction. With the Hard

Threshold engaged you then have your choices of filter frequencies to choose from. When you select

a frequency with the filter switch you are then allowing all the frequencies above the selected

frequency to be hit by compression. The frequencies below the selected frequency will pass through

the compressor and still be compressed but in a lessor manor. Almost like having a multi-band but it

is by no means a multi-band compressor. And at some point it becomes a Limiter.

This is great for working on any style of music that has a kick or bass forward like Hard Rock/Hip

hop/Rap.

The next feature that I think is very exciting is the Mix Switch.

Some of today's units have what they call a "Wet/Dry" switch which allows you to hear your audio

with compression and without but in the case of the Nail the Mix feature allows you to have the best

of both worlds with an In/Out Switch and Mix Control.

With the Mix Control you can dial in as much of the compression OR as little compression has you

need into the signal path. You still can have the wet/dry by simply dialing in "No compression or All

compression. So what you are achieving here is mixing the Nail's compression with your original

signal. This feature makes the Nail a valued tool for any studio.

So come and explore the endless possibilities the Nail can offer.
