From IGS Audio

The PHOTON 500 uses an opto-coupler, which introduces negative feedback in the audio path, taking care of gain reduction, being the basics of all compression.

The PHOTON 500 has an electronically balanced input with 2520 compatible op-amp in the gain stage. The output is balanced by a Carnhill transformer.

Front panel Features:

  • Peak Reduction: controls the gain of the side-chain circuit
  • Hard wire Bypass
  • Ratio: 2:1, 4:1, 12:1
  • Sidechain Hi-Pass filter: Flat, 60, 120Hz
  • London/New York: Advanced compression curve modeling, like SLAM.
  • Output: 12-pole stepped makeup gain.
