CHROMA+ In Detail
BUS PROCESSOR AND MIC/INSTRUMENT PREAMP IN ONE
CHROMA+ is designed for ultimate versatility with hybrid workflows in mind just like its big brother, the Silver Bullet. These days gear needs to deliver results on both the front end and the back end. Featuring LINE, DI, and MIC modes, CHROMA+ is both a line-level processor for groups or mix bus, and a preamp for instrument and mic level sources.
APPLICATIONS
-
Mix / 2-Bus mojo
-
Mic preamp
-
Stem / Bus processing
-
Synth, guitar, or bass DI
-
Tracking channel strip with compression, EQ, saturation depending on the configuration
TWIN TONE-AMP™ ARCHITECTURE
At the heart of CHROMA are two Mojo Amps inspired by classic large-format consoles – American (A), and British (N). These Mojo Amps lend their characteristic sonic footprints to any signal passing through the circuit. Like the Silver Bullet, CHROMA+ is the only processor of its kind that allows you to enable A or N sonics at the push of a button. Auditioning these two signature sounds during a session no longer requires re-patching or swapping preamps.
WORLD-CLASS STEREO DI WITH RETRO MODE
A world-class FET-input DI was developed for the front end of CHROMA+ offering superior definition, punch, and low-end girth for the capture of instrument level sources. It is capable of both stereo and dual-mono operation. Synths, samplers, guitars, and basses can be plugged directly into the auto-switching front panel jacks for the full amplification, saturation, and tone-shaping that CHROMA+ offers. A switchable RETRO Mode provides two distinct tonal personalities to the DI. In the ‘out’ position the sound is modern – detailed in the mids and highs, and extended through the lower octaves. When RETRO Mode is engaged the tone becomes more rounded and vintage, with a tighter bottom end and mellower high end. RETRO Mode is perfect for vintage bass tones and sweeping 80’s synth sounds. As an added bonus, the second DI input can be configured as a “Thru” jack for the first, via an internal jumper.
MEGA MONO CHANNEL MODE (CH 1>2)
In addition to offering both stereo and dual-mono operation, CHROMA+ is capable of becoming a Mega Mono channel to facilitate more creative processing chains. When the CH 1>2 switch is engaged, the output of channel 1 will feed into the input of channel 2 and put the power of two CHROMAs in series. The channel 1 output will also still be available on its respective XLR connector. Have you ever wanted to record your guitar through an N-style preamp, compress it with an 1176, give it a presence boost, then drive it into a second N-style Amp with a tape-like low-frequency head bump? Mega Mono Mode makes this and more possible.
NEW HYPERMATTER POWER SUPPLY
This is the first product that features our brand-new PSU with Hypermatter technology. We spent the last year in research and development with one simple goal: to create a power delivery system with unparalleled noise, voltage regulation, and transient response performance. We are proud to introduce Hypermatter, a state-of-the-art power supply technology we believe to be truly fit for the demands of high-resolution audio. It renders dynamic sound with revealing detail, dimension, and gut-punching authority. The Hypermatter PSU architecture uses a 4-layer PCB, cutting edge LDO regulators, and nothing but the best components to bring CHROMA+ to life in ways that must be heard. With Hypermatter your music has never felt more alive.
