Impresser was modeled after one of the most flexible, powerful, and edgy compressors known to the audio world. Its signature sound is due to a unique analog design and a very special feature set. Impresser offers the best of classic vintage compression while adding a wider range of control options. This vintage unit, recreated by Antelope Audio for both Native and Synergy Core Real-Time workflows, can handle it all.

Impresser can add gentle and warm compression to your tracks or aggressively pump up any source audio. Its flexibility is further enhanced by its harmonic distortion section, which can be used for subtle, tube-quality distortion and even in place of a tape saturator. It works its magic with or without Impresser compressing the signal.

At 1:1, Impresser applies no gain reduction at all, functioning instead as a pure harmonic enhancer that adds low-order warmth and subtle analog character. The 10:1 Opto ratio delivers smooth, musical optical compression, while the iconic Nuke ratio can squash a small garage into a giant pumping dirty grunge-room. UK Mode pushes the Attack and Release behavior into pure aggression, evoking the explosive non-linearities and pumping of classic limiter circuitry driven to extremes.

In addition, the Impresser features High- and Band-pass side-chain filters, with adjustable frequency settings. This enables even deeper control when shaping the frequency range where you need Impresser to work. Like all Antelope Audio compressor models, you can use Impresser either in mono or stereo.

History

The original hardware unit that inspired Impresser was designed in the early 90s and reflected its time. In that period, classic optical levelers and fast studio limiters had already established themselves as must-haves for every studio, yet many of them were no longer in production and were hard to find. Impresser was born as a readily available tool that could provide smooth optical-style compression, yet with the switch of a few buttons transform itself into a fast, aggressive FET-like compressor.

Around that time, Grunge music was at its peak and studios were seeking tools that could add analog distortion, color, and dirt to their sound. The unit that inspired Impresser had the ability to saturate and distort by adding 2nd and 3rd order harmonics, or a combination of the two. That made it not only one of the most flexible compressors of its time, but also a complete color palette capable of emulating tube and tape saturation.

very nice brackets..very sturdy. Fits a 1x10 board perfect. Comes with everything you need and a.cool little level also. I loved them.so much I bought another pack and decided to add more shelves for my plants. It was easier to mount the shelf to the bracket then mount the whole shelf. Holds almost all my plants some are pretty heavy.

Well made brackets
Size: 11.25“, Color: black-6 pack, Size: 11.25“, Color: black-6 pack
These are nicely manufactured in that they are all exactly the same (with no variations) and with nice countersunk holes for the provided black flat head wood screws. I used a stained 1x12 #2 whitewood (Eastern Pine) from Lowes for the shelves. With these brackets solidly installed into wall studs at 32" on center (every other stud) the 1x12 shelf will easily support a heavy book load. I like the look better than the brackets that have the vertical leg below the shelf. It looks a lot cleaner. It is probably inevitable that your stud layout will result in a bracket or two needing to be installed between solid wood studs. In this case, do NOT use the sheetrock wall anchors provided with the brackets as they will pull out of the wall under an appreciable load. Instead, get some "Snaptoggle" toggle bolts and replace the provided bolts with #10-24 x 1.25" flat head machine screws in black. These toggle bolts are incredibly strong and easy to install. I am adding a postscript to my review regarding bracket spacing recommendations. With a heavy book load, the 1x12 shelf boards don't sag with the brackets spaced 32" apart, however I have found that the brackets themselves are overstressed by about 30% (they are only rated at 80# each.) Heavy books weigh up to about 36# per lineal foot so the maximum spacing of the brackets should be 24" apart. At 32" apart, they won't pull out of the wall if they are fastened into studs but they will sag a little bit back to front under this load. So I added additional brackets in between the installed brackets and now they are 16" apart at the heavy book shelf. The load on each bracket is now less than 50# but they STILL sag about 3/16" from back to front when loaded with books! No danger of structural failure and the sag is not really noticeable.
