Product information
===================

The Ridge Farm Industries "Boiler" is a very high quality, all solid state,
twin channel ultra limiter-compressor designed to meet the exacting
requirements of the audio industry. It will dramatically change your way of
recording and mixing drums, percussion, vocals, guitars, bass etc.

 It is designed to be quick and easy to use with a minimum of controls. It will
provide extremes of compression, creating a characteristic sound with massive
presence and pumping, and may also be used to add a variable degree of "dirt"
and presence to any mono or stereo audio source.

In order to meet professional requirements, the Boiler includes both input and
output balanced XLR connections at +4 dBm (TRS).

A Link function will allow you to make the left channel "Master" and the right
channel "Slave" for the threshold points, still keeping separate control over
the input level controls.

Ultra-fast bargraphs will indicate instantaneous output level in actual dBm,
whether the bypass is "on" or "off".


Applications
============

Drum kit & room mics

Particularly recommended on the insert point of your mixing console where any
room mics are, especially when recording drums and percussion. Any decent size
room will be enough to make your drums sound very, very big.
 
Samplers & loops

Use on the output of your samplers or on the channel insert of the sampler
return on your mixing console.
 
Hard disk recording & mixing

Because the Boiler is a vicious limiter you can use it before going into your
hard disk system, where maximum level is critical and you do not necessarily
want to overload the input.
 
Vocals

If you are after extra attack or presence, or purely distortion, the Boiler can
provide this.
 
Bass

If you are lacking a bit of attack and dirt to your bass sound you could put
the Boiler on the insert point of the channel you are using before it goes to
tape or disk.
 
Guitar

The Boiler can be used on the ambience microphone to make the sound of a guitar
in a room bigger and fuller.

Press

Simon Ray
Audio Media		"The Ridge Farm Boiler is no ordinary piece of gear. I
			thought it was a good idea to start the review with
			people's first reaction to it, which was in all cases
			and without exception 'It sounds great!' "
 
John Musgrave
The Mix			"It really is good to see a unit like the Boiler make
			it on to the market. It's not a polite compressor but
			it doesn't claim to be, and by its very nature
			encourages the use of compression/limiting in a
			creative way."
 
Zenon Schoepe
Studio Sound		"Nicely presented, easy to use, easy to be impressed
			with. Use it when you want to be heard and when you
			want the effect to be heard. There's nothing else quite
			like it. Recommended."
