Schwerkraftmaschine Overview In the Tegeler Audio Schwerkraftmaschine, each channel’s signal flows via three transformers and four triode tubes. Why does this matter? Tubes, particularly triodes, impart harmonic overtones to the signal that the human ear enjoys while boosting awareness of individual sounds. The tubes enhance the prominence of the individual instruments. Transformers and their non-linearities improve the density of sound before compression by converting it from electricity to magnetic fields and back. The bass gets clearer and more distinct. The upper frequencies are well-rounded. The Compression Techniques Whether you want to delicately compress the sound, create a harsher impression, or adapt to complex scenarios, there is a program for that. Generating a digital control signal provides versatility that analog equipment cannot match. This allows you to replicate the behavior of any existing compressor. When do you require the Schwerkraftmaschine to function as an optical compressor, including the memory effect? But are the Attack and Release still adjustable? It’s an easy task! Or do you require something soft, like a Vari-Mu? Or perhaps simply enjoy a VCA? The Schwerkraftmaschine can handle tasks like these with ease. Tegeler has developed fully new algorithms that have never before existed in any compressor and produced the control signal using sophisticated criteria. They developed and optimized this equipment over several listening sessions. Simply pick the appropriate program for each song. The Side-Chain Filter The side-chain filter controls the frequency range the compressor responds to. Prevent pumps from utilizing the low-cut filter. Using the pitch filter/tilt EQ, you may give high or low frequencies more emphasis. The sidechain filter operates apart from the built-in compression mode filters. The Motor Control System Every control is equipped with a servomotor that can move the pots to any position. Adjustments may be made at any time; a slip clutch paired with software always prioritizes direct control. Do you need all of these current network-based tools? Not at all! The Schwerkraftmaschine may be managed from the front panel, where it functions just like any other piece of gear. The Web Connection Connect the Schwerkraftmaschine to your network. It collects the necessary parameters automatically via DCHP. You can control the Schwerkraftmaschine from anywhere in the globe, including Sydney, Los Angeles, and Berlin. The Plug-In Download the plug-in for your favorite DAW and use it to control the Schwerkraftmaschine. The motorized pots follow each movement. Or straight on the device. Both settings are synchronized. When you save a song using the plug-in, the parameters are also preserved in the Schwerkraftmaschine. When you reload the song, all your settings are restored. All of the controls remain precisely as they were previously. Tegeler Audio Manufaktur Schwerkraftmaschine FEATURES: Stereo device Transformer balanced inputs and outputs. Frequency response: 20-40 kHz, ±1.5 dB. Vari-Mu Compressor Digital side chain 11 compression modes. Side-chain filter as low-cut from 0 to 300 Hz, or tilt filter. Controllable via the device’s homepage or a plug-in (VST, AU, AAX). Servo Pots Dynamic: >110 decibels unweighted. Attenuation-to-crosstalk ratio L/R > 90 dB at 1 kHz. Internal Power Supply (25 Watt) Height: 132 mm (3U); width: 483 mm; depth: 250 mm. The Next Generation Controls In addition to its flawless analog audio circuit, the Schwerkraftmaschine has cutting-edge features such as motorized controls powered by a servo motor and an OLED VU meter that displays the selected compression mode. As a result, this ground-breaking compressor may be managed manually, as with regular compressors, or remotely. Connect the Schwerkraftmaschine to your network via an ethernet wire, and it will instantly obtain the necessary settings from DHCP. Alternatively, you may use the Free plug-in to operate your unit straight from your session. Motorized pots will follow the plug-in’s settings, and vice versa. All settings are then saved and retrieved straight from your session.
