About Heritage Audio SUCCESSOR

Take your audio production to the next level with the Heritage Audio SUCCESSOR Audio Stereo Bus Compressor. This high-quality, professional-grade device is designed to enhance your mixes with the warmth, fatness, and character associated with discrete Class A technology.

Unlike traditional VCA style devices that rely on ICs, the SUCCESSOR is built with a solid state circuitry, known for its durability and reliability. This innovative design includes chunky transformers and diode bridge-based gain reduction, offering a unique sonic character that sets it apart from other compressors on the market.

The Heritage Audio SUCCESSOR is more than just a stereo bus compressor. It's a fully Carnhill transformer coupled input and output unit, boasting advanced sidechain filtering and built-in parallel processing capabilities. This advanced device shares the class A ½73 type output stage that Heritage Audio is renowned for, ensuring top-tier audio quality in every use.

Inspired by legendary vintage diode bridge designs, the SUCCESSOR retains the classic sound of these units while incorporating modern features that make it a standout in today's production environments. With ultra-fast attack and releases, it's perfect for creating larger-than-life drum bus compression sounds. The complex sidechain filter allows for precise tailoring of your mix, offering flexibility and control that was previously unavailable.

From FET-like, all-buttons-in drum sounds (now in stereo!) to VCA style mix bus with the added warmth and fatness that only transformers can bring, the Heritage Audio SUCCESSOR is designed to stay hooked up in your bus and make your mixes shine through. Experience the difference of a durable, innovative, and advanced audio stereo bus compressor from a reputable brand known for producing high-quality audio equipment.

Heritage Audio SUCCESSOR Features

  • True Stereo operation on single controls with matched gain cells for extremely precise left/right tracking and nearly zero offset in between channels. Compression tracking works in so called Oxford mode (highest signal takes over compression opposed to summing left and right channels)
  • Carnhill based, transformer coupled balanced inputs and outputs for added character and vintage vibe.
  • '73 style class A output stages bring the desired ½73 sound to your mix or drum buses.
  • Diode-bridge based compression excels bringing 2nd order harmonic distortion characteristics and true vintage tone while eliminating nasty odd harmonic content.
  • Ultra-fast attack and release time options never found in vintage designs allows for far more flexible settings, including FET like sounds and volume maximizing without transient artifacts.
  • Complex sidechain filtering options elaborates over the already common high pass filters, introducing mid band peak type filters and high frequency compression, allowing bus correction not possible before.
  • Sidechain SEND and RETURN connections allow for external sidechain signals or further external processing of the internal one.
  • Blend control offers built in parallel compression without any external equipment. Blend ON/OFF button allows for instant comparison in between WET and DRY signals.
  • Stepped controls for easy recall of settings.
