With precision metering and powerful controls, the SWITCHBLADE is the perfect mixing and mastering companion.

The Sebatron SWITCHBLADE is a high quality Stereo solid-state four broad band interactive equaliser and diode compressor housed in a 2U rack chassis designed for tracking, mixing or mastering purposes. Joining the ranks of Sebatron gear that fills racks around the world including the Axis and VMP series preamps, the SMAC, Spider and Thorax, the SWITCHBLADE is in good company.

The SWITCHBLADE audio signal path uses discrete gain blocks and optimised op amps with high voltage transistors for all buffering and processing stages. The unit features a relay driven global bypass with each section being able to be bypassed independently as well. When in full bypass the processing circuitry is completely switched out of the audio path.

Visual monitoring of gain reduction and signal output is by two twenty segment blue LED bar graphs. Other features include a compression dry/wet mix control, switchable pre/post EQ side-chain detection, variable side chain high pass filter and three overlapping ranges of compression envelope. The combination of Equaliser and Compressor in one housing means that the two stages work as a unified tool that can sculpt and polish the incoming signals effectively.
