The 1968 is a 1U Tube/FET stereo bus' compressor which by design delivers a transparent open' sound even during periods of heavy compression. Featured on both channels is a switchable BIG' mode which applies less processing to the fundamental low frequency but still disciplines the upward associated harmonics which if untamed can result in a boomy' or boxy' sound. The result - a solid bottom end with enhanced sub-bass and a smoother, wider frequency response overall.
