PreSonus is now shipping the COMP16 compressor/limiter and the EQ3B parametric equalizer. These 1/3 rack-sized units are part of the PreSonus Personal Recording Series and fit into the new MaxRack desktop storage solution that holds up to 6 of these smaller PreSonus units also including the Tube Pre and HP4.

COMP16

PreSonus' new COMP16 mono compressor/limiter features many of the presets contained in the BlueMax. The COMP16 further simplifies compression and limiting by offering 16 preset, variable input and output compression curves which include: vocal, percussion, fretted, keyboard, limit and effect. The front panel boasts a large blue, backlit VU meter that can either be used to monitor output level or gain reduction, and there is also a Bypass button to compare the processed and non-processed signals.

Other featured specifications include -98dB noise floor, +24 dBu headroom, and a wide frequency response. The back of the unit houses balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (1/4" TRS) inputs and outputs. The COMP16 is powered by an external wall mounted power supply.

EQ3B

High quality equalization is one of a few things that engineers can never have enough of. The EQ3B offers three bands of fully parametric equalization with each band offering adjustable frequency range, Q and cut/boost control. The faceplate also hosts a Bypass button and 80Hz roll off. Other featured specifications include -98dB noise floor, +24 dBu headroom, truly balanced I/O and a wide frequency response. The back of the unit houses balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (1/4" TRS) inputs and outputs. The EQ3B is powered by an external wall mounted power supply. The EQ3B is a perfect addition to mixers that have only fixed frequency equalizers.
