[AES] SKnote introduces three new products

Let’s start with what’s already available: Leso, released this month, is a mono/stereo compressor based on pulse width modulation (PWM), designed in partnership with an Italian magazine  and available as a DIY kit. It features balanced stereo inputs and outputs, a 2-band sidechain EQ, a curve compression control, Feed-Forward and Feed-Back modes as well as Peak and RMS modes. The interesting particularity is that Leso can easily interface with a software. Note that all knobs are stepped.

The  DIY kit is available in two versions:

• The MS4 PCB only for 49€ + taxes
• The MS4 PCB, components, connectors, controls and flat cables for 199€ + taxes

Note that the power supply, LED meters, knobs and other accessories are not included in the aforementioned kit but available as a separate kit for 239€ + taxes.
