Compression and Limiting

 

The Royal Mu combines three stages of processing: biasing, compression, and limiting into a single path in the APB hardware. The surround version adds an additional analog output trim (post compressor pre limiter) of each channel set (LR, C, Side, Rear, Top, LFE) to fine tune mixes and drive the analog limiter and analog saturation circuits harder.

Matrix Mojo

 

The Royal Mu Surround offers a 3-buss matrix to assign any of the channel sets (LR, C, Side, Rear, Top, LFE) to either compressor/limiter chain, using any of the three key signal sources (white, yellow, or blue). Key trim allows adjustment of each channel set sensitivity as needed. Sample accurate control and self-calibrating analog circuitry insure precision session after session.

Analog Saturation

Like all APB plug-ins, the Royal Mu Surround custom saturation circuit is perfectly calibrated with the A/D conversion to prevent digital clipping. Even when the Royal Mu saturation feature is enabled, this calibration remains, so only real analog saturation occurs as the signal is brought back into the DAW.

The Royal Mu Surround analog output trim gives additional flexibility to not only adjust mixes, but also drive the analog limiter and saturation even more.

Why the Royal Mu Surround Stands Out

The Royal Mu Surround is not just another compressor and limiter. It’s a dual-control powerhouse that combines the best of analog and digital worlds. Its ability to handle multiple surround formats, from 7.0.2 to 9.1.6, makes it an essential tool for immersive audio production. Whether you’re working on a feature film, a gaming soundtrack, or a Dolby Atmos mix, the Royal Mu Surround ensures your audio shines.

Core Features That Make a Difference

  • True Analog Processing: All compression, limiting, bias, and saturation are handled in the analog domain, providing unmatched audio quality.
  • Flexible Dual-Chain Control: Operate two compressor and limiter chains independently or link them for cohesive dynamics management.
  • Surround Format Compatibility: Supports a wide range of surround formats, perfect for immersive environments.
  • 3-Way Buss Matrix: Assign any channel set (LR, C, Side, Rear, Top, LFE) to one of three key busses for ultimate routing flexibility.
  • Analog Trim and Saturation: Fine-tune mixes and drive the analog limiter and saturation circuits harder for unique tonal characteristics.
  • Sample-Accurate Automation: Ensure every parameter is perfectly timed and integrated into your mix.

With its Thunderbolt integration via McDSP’s APB hardware, the Royal Mu Surround offers real-time analog processing while keeping all parameters fully recallable and preset-compatible. This unique hybrid approach allows audio professionals to harness analog precision with the convenience of digital workflows.


How It Enhances Your Workflow

The Royal Mu Surround isn’t just about delivering exceptional sound—it’s about improving your efficiency. The 3-way buss matrix lets you assign channel sets to any compressor/limiter chain, giving you the freedom to experiment and refine your mixes. Meanwhile, the bias adjustment feature ensures you can control frequency sensitivity, allowing low frequencies or midrange clarity to shine through depending on your needs.

By leveraging the APB hardware, the Royal Mu Surround handles analog processing with precision and reliability, while keeping your creative options open with fully recallable settings. This combination of analog power and digital flexibility makes it an ideal solution for both studio and live productions.
