On October 25^th at AES NY, Eventide announces the release of a 50th Anniversary reissue of the Omnipressor® – the Omnipressor® 2830Au. Eventide commemorates the 50th anniversary of the coveted Omnipressor with the introduction of the golden-anniversary Omnipressor Model 2830 Au, a faithful recreation of the iconic compressor that introduced the concept of dynamics processing for special effects. 

The original hand- drawn schematics were in the Eventide archives, and the new model is a faithful replica designed with the same circuitry and the same sound as the original 2830. With supply chain issues resolved after 50 years, you can now find the 2830*Au for sale and priced about the same as the original, even though in 2023 dollars.

The new *Au model features the ability to link multiple units and is fitted with input and output audio transformers, which were a costly option on the original. Other improvements include a universal power supply and a back-lit meter. More convenient TRS/XLR connectors replace the original terminal strip. The Omnipressor® 2830Au will be shipping in early 2024.

Features: 

• Dynamics Processing — capable of creating otherworldly sounds
• Dynamic Reversal — the first of its kind, soft signals come out loud and loud signals come out quiet, simulating tape reversal, a unique attribute of this versatile compressor
• Function Control — sets a ratio over a continuous range allowing extreme expansion, to infinite compression, and is even able to push further into dynamic reversal
• Variable Control of attack and release time
• Variable Control of maximum gain and maximum attenuation
• Side Chain allows the level detection of the Omnipressor to be driven by another audio source
• Gating — amplitudes of signals that fall below a set threshold are ‘squooshed’
• Expansion — widen a signal’s dynamic range, louder gets louder, softer gets softer
• Compression offers variable control of compression ratio
• Infinite Compression — if you want everything to come out at the same level, this is the feature for you
• Limiting — a fast, versatile limiter, useful for maintaining a loud sound
• Intuitive Interface — clean and easy to operate
