Details
Controls: Attack (0.5ms-100ms), release (50ms-3s), slope/ratio (12-step, 1.2:1 to infinity:1), built-in de-esser (0 to -16dB @ 6kHz), stereo link, hardwire bypass, 10-segment peak meter (switchable input/output), LED gain-reduction display
I/O: Active balanced inputs; transformer-coupled balanced/unbalanced outputs; separate detector loop input/output jacks for contoured (sidechain-style) compression; +4/-10 level switch; external power supply with locking connector
Notes: DISCONTINUED/LEGACY MODEL: this product lives under ART's '/legacy/' catalog path (not the active 'compressors-&-limiters' section), indicating it has been discontinued and superseded in ART's current lineup by the Solo VLA (a single-channel tube/opto+FET compressor). Sweetwater's listing page also notes it is 'no longer available, page left up for reference only.' Because it's discontinued, source is set to 'researched' rather than 'catalog', and price reflects secondary/NOS market listings (Reverb 'new' listings around $399.99-$499) rather than a current manufacturer MSRP -- treat as approximate. rack_units and power_watts were not stated on the manufacturer page (unit uses an external power supply of unstated wattage) and are left blank rather than assumed (commonly 2U for similar ART dual-channel units, but not confirmed for TransY specifically). impedance_ohms = 33k ohm balanced INPUT; also has a separate 2M ohm detector-loop input impedance, 110 ohm balanced output impedance, and 270 ohm detector output impedance, none of which fit the single impedance_ohms field. phantom_power not stated, left blank. country_of_manufacture, year_intro, and notable_use not stated anywhere found -- left blank per golden rule against guessing.
