Buzz Audio is delighted to announce the development of two new products that extend our 2.2 Series True Class A technology range. We are interested in your feedback on these new designs, click here to post a comment. These units will begin shipping mid 2007.



The Resonance Equaliser Model REQ-2.2
A high end Recording, Mixing and Mastering Equaliser featuring
natural Resonance and True Class A
amplifiers.

  • All filter networks are passive utilising real inductors (chokes) and capacitors as the reactive elements, no electronic simulation - just pure Resonance
  • 144 different frequency settings on each channel, all switched for repeatability.
  • All BE40 proprietary True Class A high speed 140V/uS amplifiers in the signal path..
  • Mastering version with Elma 24 position detented Boost/Cut controls offering +8dB and -10dB range (as shown in picture).
  • Lower cost recording and mixing version with continuously variable Boost/Cut controls offering an extended +/-16dB range.
  • High and Low Bands are switchable Bell or Shelf mode. In Shelf mode the Bandwidth control converts to an adjustable Shelf "slope" control.
  • Switchable transformer Saturation that adds varying amounts of bass "colour" via low frequency harmonic distortion.
  • Two bell shape Mid Bands with switchable 1x or 2.5x Frequency and selectable Bandwidth.
  • Passive Bessel aligned 18dB/octave High Pass Filter with six turnover frequencies.
  • Each band is selectable In/Out of the signal path as well as an overall System bypass.


The Dual Compressor System Model DCS-2.2
A high end Recording, Mixing and Mastering Compressor with features
not found on any other compressor available today.

  • A new innovative approach to audio compressor design, the DCS-2.2 allows the user to combine the sound of two completely different compressor types (FET and OPTO) to achieve an endless pallette of dynamic characteristics.
  • Controls allow for the blending of uncompressed and compressed signals or the blending of the two compressor outputs (in Parallel mode).
  • Series mode allows for daisy chaining the two compressors, FET > OPTO or OPTO > FET.
  • All BE40 proprietary True Class A high speed 140V/uS amplifiers in the signal path.
  • Stereo matched mastering versions with Elma 24 position detented Threshold and Output Gain controls (as shown in picture).
  • Lower cost recording and mixing version with continuously variable Threshold and Output Gain controls.
  • Built in switchable transformer saturation on both channels.
  • Assignable sidechain EQ control that alters the sensitivity of either Compressor at high or low frequencies.
  • Intelligent linking to another unit for stereo applications.
  • Front panel selectable Sidechain insert points on both channels.
