DynaMaxx
Model 9735
In Short
The DynaMaxx compressor/limiter/noise gate offers disarmingly ease of
use with signal-dependent automation of time constants. It also premiers
unique de-compression features to regain vitality e. g. from over-compressed
audio files.
The
DynaMaxx is ideally suited when unobstrusive, musical compression results and reliable set and forget operation are most important. SPL's
unique Double VCA Drive technology employs two excellent VCAs in a differential mode for maximum transparency, dynamics, and lowest distortion values. I/Os: both XLR connectors and 1/4 inch TRS stereo jacks for balanced operation.

"The
SPL DynaMaxx succeeds pretty clearly in the performance as well
as in the price/value category."

User statement of Patrick Sanders, Midimix
Recording Studio, Belgium:
"I'm
totally satisfied with the SPL DynaMaxx. In my opinion, this unit captures
the essence of pure "set and forget" equipment. It is
so easy to use (compress ratio and gain make-up ... Hello? Where are the
35 other parameter knobs?) and always sounds great, very musical
and perfectly natural.
When I started buying hardware for the studio, I reckoned that
I'd better play it safe and go for the old traditionals (dbx,
TC Electronics). Luckily the guys of Music Store (Cologne/Germany)
pointed out that this compressor is a "must have", considering
the price, its ease of use and its sound quality. Now I find myself always
returning to and depending on it. Need some punch and you don't
have half an hour to waste searching for the ideal attack/release times?
Just shove it through this machine, it always does the trick. Whether it's
vocal tracks, drums, (bass) guitars, pianos or Hammonds I'm recording – I
just wish I had more Dynamaxx compressors. Congrats SPL, great
stuff!"
