RG Pro 16 Dynamic Processor Expander
- Dynamic Expansion: It makes quiet signals even quieter while leaving loud signals untouched, effectively increasing the difference between soft and loud sounds.
- Noise Reduction: Ideal for cleaning up vinyl records or analog tape by electronically scrubbing out background noise, scratches, and tape hiss.
- Automatic Control: Features automatic attack and release times that adapt to the music, re-controlling dynamics for balanced reproduction.
- Controls: Typically includes controls for expansion level (dB), and often switches for different modes or types of expansion.
- Metering: Large front-panel meters (twin levels) help users visualize the expansion effect.
- Vintage Appeal: Known for its classic look, often with walnut wood sides (PRO-16W) or a metal rack-mount (PRO-16B).
Think of it as a "noise eraser" and "excitement booster" for old records or tapes, bringing back the punch and clarity that time or recording limitations removed, without making the music sound unnatural.
