Seasoned engineers and producers looking to record critical signals, where it is essential to retain all the individual character and emotion while offering a natural, transparent control will be thrilled with the Heritage Audio TUBESESSOR, an optical tube compressor with the sweetest, warmest, and most natural dynamic control possible. The compressor utilizes premium components, custom input/output transformers, and high-quality tubes to ensure a clarity, depth, and headroom previously unheard of.

Optical Compression Detection    All Tube-Based Amplification Stage    Transformer Balanced Input & Output    Tube Saturation Section    Large Friendly Interface    Extensive Attack & Release Control    5 Built-In Sidechain Filtering Options    Huge Informative VU Meter    Built Like a Tank

• Heritage Audio's take on the unobtainable classic, blue-faced optical tube compressor.
• Innovative Tube Saturation section for added creative tonal possibilities.
• Heritage Audio's famous internal sidechain section with 5 selectable options.
• Continuously adjustable Attack & Release controls with 3 different operating modes to guarantee absolute control over the signal.
• Large, friendly control surface with huge multifunction VU.
• High-quality components and tubes in all tube-based amplification stage.
• Custom transformers for fully transformer-balanced Input & Output.

There are 4 available settings including Classic, Mild, Medium, and Hot. Classic has no saturation, while Hot provides a heavily treated signal with tons of attitude. This feature alone opens up a ton of possibilities for drums and other

instruments, vastly expanding the TUBESESSOR´s uses by gradually increasing the mojo and vibe. And thanks to Heritage Audio's unique design and elevated internal voltage, a solid output stage is guaranteed all while allowing much higher headroom than other tube compressors, whether vintage or modern.

There are five internal sidechain settings to choose from. This is the exact same filter section that helped the SUCCESSOR obtain its legendary status. Two of the options make sure the compressor is not being unfairly overpowered by lower frequencies and the other three are frequency specific options for extra creativity.

Continuously adjustable Attack and Release controls in addition to a FIXED mode and a combination of the two will provide all the necessary settings possible, allowing you to mold your signal exactly as you´d like. An attractive, oversized custom VU meter for monitoring either Input, Output, or Gain Reduction guarantees you´ll always be informed with a clear reading of exactly what is happening. Everything you could require to achieve a top-notch professional recording.

Q: 1. How are the telescope focal length (1950 mm) and focal ratio (9.75) defined? Focal length is the distance from the focus to what? Focal ratio is the ratio of what to what?

A: Focal length is the distance (given in millimeters) between the telescope's primary lens or mirror and the point where the light rays come together in focus. The focal ratio is the focal length divided by the lens diameter. For the Vixen Optics VMC200L, that would be 1950 divided by 200 = 9.75.
