Innovative Hardware Circuit
Hyperion is a fully analog device with +24 dBu of headroom. Its innovative design incorporates 18 VCAs per channel, ensuring precise control and minimal noise for superior audio performance.
4-BAND EQ
A 4-band EQ with selectable gain ranges, offering 5dB or 15dB of boost or cut per band:
- High band: 2kHz to 25kHz, selectable between bell or shelf modes.
- High-Mid band: 600Hz to 8kHz with full Q control for precise adjustments.
- Low-Mid band: 200Hz to 2.5kHz, also featuring full Q control.
- Low band: 30Hz to 350Hz, with options for bell or shelf filtering.
Stereo/Dual Mono/Mid-Side Operation Modes
HYPERION can operate in three distinct modes, including Mid-Side (MS), making it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications.
High Pass Filter
HPF with selectable slopes of 12dB/Oct or 6dB/Oct
Each Band Features its Own Bypass Switch
Each band on the Hyperion can be bypassed independently, making it easier than ever to experiment with new sounds and compare adjustments quickly.
THD – Add Colour to Your Mixes
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), allows you to introduce analog warmth and saturation to your signal, adding a beautiful richness and musical character that enhances the overall sound quality.
