You won't find a signal processor with better features than the Focusrite Platinum VoiceMaster Pro Processor. Stereo latency-free monitoring section; Vintage Harmonics revolutionary vocal enhancer; custom Focusrite VU meter; more versatile, voice-optimized EQ; improved Tube Sound emulation with tone control; smoother optical compressor; and new voice-optimized optical expander take it light years beyond the classic VoiceMaster. Compressor, EQ, and harmonics can be reordered.

dB down at 10Hz and –1dB down at 200KHz.
INPUT METER
• 6 LED peak reading meter is calibrated relative to
0 dBfs where 0 dBfs = +22 dBu (the maximum
level which can be correctly converted by the
optional internal A/D converter before overload
occurs). The meter calibration points are as
follows: -
Meter panel
calibration value
Equivalent dBu value
O/L +22.4 dBu (the point at which
the converter will overload)
0 dBfs +22 dBu (the maximum level
into the converter)
-3 dBfs +19 dBu
-6 dBfs +16 dBu
-10 dBfs +12 dBu
-20 dBfs +2 dBu (the average level to
allow 20 dB of headroom for Eq
and dynamics processing).
