The announcemetn comes shortly after the addition of two new products to Apex's entry-level dB-range of analogue signal processors: the dBC-8 and the dBG-8. The dBC-8 is an 8-channel compressor/limiter in a 19" 1U package offering unprecedented quality and ease-of-use for a very affordable price. Although the unit is just 1U high, its controls are straightforward and intuitive, with optimised visibility and fast access, say Apex. The unit has fully balanced in and outputs, and "will offer that fat British compression sound of units that cost much more" say the company. The dBG-8 is an 8-channel noise gate in the same compact package and at the same quality level, say the company.
