Axis Analog Audio Processor

Aircraft Designs Axis

The Aircraft Designs Axis is a pocket-sized mastering chain that's designed for portable recording, performance, or just as a studio stalwart. Each section features the essentials with no frills because it's just not necessary: this keeps you signal transparent and clean, unless you want to introduce a touch of grit with the built-in Saturation section. Working backwards in the chain, the Saturation zone gives you the option to choose the Saturation Type along with the Clipping Type. Before that, a 2-band EQ lets you adjust the Lows and Highs, each with a three-position frequency switch. At the top of the unit and top of the signal chain you have a robust VCA compressor that gives you all the controls you'd expect to find on a rack unit: Threshold and Makeup, a Balance control, and a bevy of preset switches to control the Release, Attack, Ratio, and Sidechain Filter. From studio sessions to stage performances, the Axis from Aircraft Designs is well built wonder that gives you everything you need to polish your final mix.
