From the seller
*NOTE: This particular model has output transformers. No input transformers are in this unit. This era model was manufactured without input transformers only output transformers. I works great all buttons and lights are operational. Previously we noted in this listing that the power switch was sticking in the "on" position. Since then, we serviced the switch and it now works like it's supposed to.
*This unit has transformers on the output stage only.
The Focusrite Red 3 Dual Compressor/Limiter employs an unusual and original single-VCA design to achieve high quality and truly independent compression and limiting. Proprietary Focusrite design is fully discrete and balanced, offering superb low noise and distortion, and excellent common-mode rejection. Sidechain electronics are Class A, ensuring superb transient response. Features include a stereo switch for true stereo operation from a single set of controls, key inputs with illuminated push-button selection, illuminated push-button switches for compressor/limiter in/out on each channel, and precision VU metering of signal level or gain change (switched). Can operate as a discrete channel unit.
