It combines two legendary dynamic topologies: an ultra-fast, newly designed FET compressor and an optimized optical (Opto) compressor. This powerful combination allows engineers to bridge the gap between aggressive transient shaping and smooth, musical gain reduction, making it a versatile tool for tracking, mixing, mastering, and live applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit features two distinct operating modes: \u003cem\u003eDual Stage\u003c\/em\u003e, which places the compressors in series with a reversible order, and \u003cem\u003eDual Band\u003c\/em\u003e, where a variable crossover (50 Hz – 500 Hz) splits the signal for independent processing of low and high frequencies. Tone shaping is further enhanced by unique harmonic modes—\u003cem\u003eGRIT\u003c\/em\u003e adds expressive overtone structure to the FET circuit, while \u003cem\u003eBLOOM\u003c\/em\u003e provides richer low-order harmonics in the Opto section. With transformer-balanced I\/O and 31-position detented potentiometers, the OptoFET ensures pristine audio quality and precise setting recall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines a newly designed FET compressor with an optimized Optical compressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Stage Mode: Serial compression with reversible signal chain order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Band Mode: Frequency-dependent processing with variable 50 Hz – 500 Hz crossover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGRIT Mode: Adds harmonic saturation and character to the FET section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBLOOM Mode: Enhances low-end warmth and richness in the Optical section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully variable controls for Attack, Release, Threshold, and Make-up Gain (+20 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide-chain High-Pass Filter (125 Hz) for both compressor stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31-position detented controls for accurate and repeatable settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 6 Hz – 70 kHz (±0.1 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Input\/Output Level: +24 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFET Attack: 100 µs – 50 ms \/ Release: 50 ms – 1.5 s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpto Attack: 5 ms – 50 ms \/ Release: 50 ms – 1.5 s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N @ 0 dBu: 0.002%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI\/O: Transformer-balanced XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm Factor: 19\" Rack, 1U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.6 kg (7.9 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58444622528844,"sku":"58700","price":2114.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/9854\/1644\/files\/RupertNeveDesigns5046OptoFET1.jpg?v=1786980042","url":"https:\/\/noiseroom.lt\/products\/rupert-neve-designs-5046-optofet","provider":"Noise Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
