Hi Guys, I recently picked up used a fFirchild 602 Hi Frequency Tube Compressor. Pics are soon to follow.
I have searched for info on it but tend to come up empty. in fact the only reason I know it is a Hi Frequency Tube Compressor was I found a studio that had one. The controls are a five position threshold switch and tweeker pots for left and right gain. I went over it with a tech frind of mine and best we can come up with is it was used in DISC, vinal mastering to control presence peeks or possible in broadcast to keep High freq within broadcast bandwidth of a radio station. Anybody have any info on said unit? As well as I was thinking I could mod it out to be a full stereo compressor as opposed to the current Hi frequency only. Any help or suggestions?
