PHANTOM – STEREO MORPH COMPRESSOR is a powerful multiband, multi-layer compressor specifically engineered for mastering applications. Designed to deliver maximum control with minimal complexity, it provides transparent dynamic shaping through intelligent automation and multi-stage processing. With a clean, user-friendly interface, it empowers users to dial in detailed compression and tonal shaping quickly and efficiently.

Automatic Thresholding is governed by the incoming input signal, removing the need for manual adjustment and streamlining the mastering workflow. The intuitive “Compression” knob determines the depth of compression applied, while also subtly impacting other processing stages for enhanced sonic consistency.

Key Features:

• Multiband Compression: Splits the signal into multiple frequency bands, allowing precise dynamic control across the spectrum. Controlled via the “Exp” knob to adjust intensity.
• Stereo Redistribution: Dynamically reintroduces parts of the signal into the stereo field based on frequency, with the “Stereo Morph” knob determining the depth of mid-side redistribution.
• Soft Saturation (“Gas”): Applies a subtle exponential saturation curve. At low settings it adds warmth; at higher values, it colors the signal with harmonic character.
• Final Compression (“Glue”): Polishes the final signal with a slow attack and fast release for a cohesive output. This final stage ensures smoothness and transparency without noticeable phase shifts.
