Etek WaveMaster
2-Channel 6-Band Processor

The WaveMaster makes use of a compression technique using the pre-analysis of the signal. For each of the 6 bands, the user can program Compression, Limiter, Gate, Expander, and Noise Gate Algorithms.
Each algorithm allows for programming of all functions with a large graphical display showing the function. The signal can be converted by means of A/D and D/A 24-bit convertors.
Digital A.G.C. automatic gain control.
WaveMaster is provided with an expansion port that can be hardware/software configured as S/PDIF or others, for direct interface between digital units. It will soon be possible to use the ADAT Interface, too.
