The Chameleon Labs
7720 Stereo Compressor is based on a trusted design and is electronically balanced, utilizing "THAT Corporation" (formerly
DBX) VCA circuitry. It features a low component count in order to provide the cleanest signal path possible. In accordance
with Chameleon Labs' ongoing dedication to end users, unique features have been implemented (direct from consumer suggestions)
to make the 7720 more versatile than your average mix buss compressor.
It has meter switch that allows the meter to
indicate either channels input level, either channels output level or the amount of stereo audio signal compression. It has
a sidechain, which modifies the control of the compressor with a mono audio signal introduced through the sidechain XLR input.
A blue LED gives the user a visual indication that the circuit is active and that the sidechain audio is in control of the
compressor, not the left and right audio inputs. The High Pass Filter rotary control allows the sidechain or main audio signal
to be equalized to minimize lower frequency audio signals' effect on the compression character of the unit. The HPF also affects
the detection circuit, not the actual audio. The selector has six settings. The first setting does not introduce any filtration
into the sidechain circuit. The next five settings are 60 Hz., 90 Hz., 130 Hz., 200 Hz. and 440 Hz. These selections allow
a wide variety of choices. The high pass filter is designed so that the frequency selected is 3 dB down, with a roll-off of
12 dB per octave. In addition to the ratio settings common to popular stereo compressors (2:1, 4:1, 10:1), the 7720 feature
a 1.5:1 setting. This allows the user to maintain control over the dynamics of the input signal without squashing the life
out of the mix.
