Celebrating 50 Years of Innovation:

A Milestone in Audio Processing

The Omnipressor, first introduced in the early 1970s, was a game-changer in the world of audio dynamics processing. Invented by Eventide's founder, Richard Factor, and later redesigned by Jon Paul, this groundbreaking device made a host of dynamic effects possible for the first time. It's no wonder that one of its first customers was Brian May, the lead guitarist of Queen, who found his sound transformed by this revolutionary piece of equipment.

What Makes the Omnipressor® 2830Au Special?

Dynamics Processing

The Omnipressor is not just a regular dynamics processor; it's capable of creating sounds that can only be described as otherworldly.

Dynamic Reversal

This feature is a first of its kind. It allows soft signals to come out loud and loud signals to come out quiet, simulating a tape reversal effect. This unique attribute sets the Omnipressor apart from other compressors.

Function Control

The Function Control feature sets a ratio over a continuous range, allowing for extreme expansion to infinite compression. It can even push further into dynamic reversal, offering a wide array of dynamic modification possibilities.

Variable Controls

The device offers variable control of attack and release time, as well as maximum gain and maximum attenuation. This allows for a high level of customization, making it adaptable to a variety of audio applications.

Side Chain

The Omnipressor introduced the concept of the 'side chain,' allowing the level detection to be driven by another audio source.

Gating, Expansion, and More

Beyond its unique features, the Omnipressor also offers gating to reduce signals below a set threshold, expansion to widen a signal's dynamic range, and a versatile limiter for maintaining a loud sound.

User-Friendly Interface

Despite its complexity, the Omnipressor offers an intuitive interface that is clean and easy to operate, making it accessible for both professionals and beginners alike.
