{"product_id":"spl-transient-designer-4-mk2-371174","title":"TRANSIENT DESIGNER 4 MK2","description":"\u003ch3\u003eFrom 1998 to Today: The Transient Designer Reference in a 4-Channel Format\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1998, SPL marked a turning point by launching the very first Transient Designer, a processor that opened a new category in the studio: \u003cstrong\u003etransient processing\u003c\/strong\u003e through separate control of attack and sustain. While a compressor relies on threshold, ratio, and timing (attack\/release), the Transient Designer acts directly on the perceived envelope of the signal, which changed the way to shape a snare drum, tighten a kick, add \"punch\" to a guitar take, or shorten an overly dominant room sound. The \u003cstrong\u003eTransient Designer 4 Mk2\u003c\/strong\u003e continues this legacy: it retains the processing qualities that made the series famous while modernizing the interface and handling with its aluminum controls, and especially by combining \u003cstrong\u003efour channels\u003c\/strong\u003e in a single rack unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is the Transient Designer 4 Mk2 For, and When Does It Make a Difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SPL Transient Designer 4 Mk2 is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003erecording studios\u003c\/strong\u003e, mix engineers, and producers who want to save time and achieve immediate results on percussive or rhythmic sources. It is a formidable tool on \u003cstrong\u003edrums\u003c\/strong\u003e (kick, snare, toms, overheads, room), \u003cstrong\u003epercussions\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ebass\u003c\/strong\u003e (pick attack or slap), \u003cstrong\u003eguitars\u003c\/strong\u003e (sharper attack or controlled sustain), as well as on \u003cstrong\u003epianos\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eloops\u003c\/strong\u003e to reshape dynamics without crushing the signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its 4 channels, it integrates perfectly into a modern workflow: processing multiple drum mics, managing stems, or quickly correcting heterogeneous takes. In mixing, it helps to make an element \"stand out\" without excessively raising the level, and to \u003cstrong\u003eclean up\u003c\/strong\u003e an overly long sustain (resonances, bleed, room) while preserving transient energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePrecise, Fast, and Musical Envelope Shaping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDifferential Envelope Technology: A No-Fuss Approach\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Transient Designer 4 Mk2 is based on \u003cstrong\u003edifferential envelope technology\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to modify the impact and sustain of a sound intuitively. Rather than \"compressing,\" it allows you to boost or attenuate the \u003cstrong\u003eattack phase\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003edecay phase\u003c\/strong\u003e independently. In practice, this translates to faster adjustments, immediate feedback on the result, and great efficiency for reshaping a take that lacks punch or, conversely, taming an aggressive transient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTwo Key Controls: Attack and Sustain\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAttack\u003c\/strong\u003e control makes a sound more punchy or softer: the attack of a signal can be \u003cstrong\u003eincreased or decreased by up to 15 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003eSustain\u003c\/strong\u003e control affects the sense of length and ambiance: the decay phase can be \u003cstrong\u003eamplified or reduced by up to 24 dB\u003c\/strong\u003e. In practice, you can shorten a snare that rings too long, tighten a sloppy kick, open up a room mic for more size, or create the illusion of a more \"alive\" take without resorting to complex processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStereo Link and Headroom for Reliable Studio Integration\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLink function\u003c\/strong\u003e facilitates stereo processing, useful on overheads, room mics, percussion buses, or stems. Regarding integration, the Transient Designer 4 Mk2 accepts and delivers up to \u003cstrong\u003e21 dBu\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring excellent headroom before saturation in professional analog chains. Its very wide \u003cstrong\u003efrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e helps preserve transient definition, and its low distortion rate maintains a clean sound even when pushing settings for creative effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of channels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eU-height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttack\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eincrease or decrease attack phase up to 15 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response (-3 dB)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e10 - 100,000 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSustain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eamplify or attenuate decay phase up to 24 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHD+N (0 dBu, 10 Hz - 22 kHz)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e0.021%\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum input level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e21 dBu\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W x H x D)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e482 x 44 x 237 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum output level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e21 dBu\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e3.3 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"SPL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358862397715,"sku":"371174","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/c7498a484f479ea91e310c676bf019808f301da1_SPL_2220.jpg?v=1792573618","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/spl-transient-designer-4-mk2-371174","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
