Hi,
I am looking for the schematic/ circuit of the Amtec Phanzen.  I think it should be a passive compressor circuit where the preamp is powered by the +48V.
For me it would be enough to know the compressor/ limiter stage!



Thanks!
 
As the Phanzen is discounted we released the schematics:

That's great, thank you :)
If it is discontinued (which seems to be a shame btw), would it be ok with you if it was cloned here?

I've got no objections. I'm very fond of this design, it worked perfectly and it will live in another redesigned form as a 500-style module where I don't have to count every milliampere of current (hence the discrete sidechain in the phantom powered version), but this version is, well, discounted. But you have to note that the 8 gain reduction diodes has to be matched and the transformers are our secret. I can only tell they had ratios of 2:1 and 6:1. The output impedance of the input attenuator formed a low cut with the first's transformer inductance and there's a slight passive bass boost after that transformer to simulate a "head bump".
