The TRANSPARENCE
ALMS is a 2 channel stereo, mono and 3
or 4 ways sound processor. It features some integrated
limiters that work as fixed crossover filters
(with the latest FET technology), signal control
(independent per frequency), customized quick-change
crossover cards (plug-in modules) and a frequency
equalizer. The ALMS
was built with first grade lowest noise components
such as 1% metal film resistors and polypropylene
capacitors. The circuitry is designed to minimize
audio signal mixing, providing excep-tional transparence
to sound. Strict manufacturing quality control
insures years of reliability and performance under
professional usage conditions.

The
main advantages of FET (Field Effect Transistor)
limiters: |
•
|
High
input impedance allowing long release times,
thus res-pecting the dynamic of musical
signals. |
•
|
Extreme
compression and/or limitation range (in
excess of 70dB of compression) |
•
|
High
gain yielding a horizontal limitation transfer
function while retaining a linear response
when not limiting. |
•
|
Very
high FET off-state drain resistance putting
the limiter out of circuit when not limiting. |
•
|
The
distorsion components of a FET are almost
exclusively of even-order harmonics. These
sound more natural and are more difficult
to distinguish from the signal than the
odd order ones generated by optically-coupled
limiters and bipolar transitors. |
•
|
FET
limiters need no post amplification, eliminating
the dis-torsions and noises of the unnecessary
amplifier. |
•
|
Release
times independent control due
to high impedance of FET's attack. |
