ARX AFTERBURNER
The ARX Afterburner is an unusual two-channel compressor which can be used as two mono, one stereo or a single-channel, dual-band compressor. In dual-band mode it splits the incoming signal between the two sections, processing each separately before recombining them. The result is a true dual-band compressor with individual controls for each band

There are in / out switches per-channel plus a stereo link switch and a master Dual Channel / Low-High Mode switch.
