WesAudio _Mimas Gemini

The _MIMAS Stereo Pair delivers a true stereo compression experience, ensuring precise and consistent performance across both channels. Thanks to Dynamic Link Technology, the sidechain signal levels are dynamically adjusted via a specialized potentiometer, automatically compensating for component tolerances. This ensures perfect alignment between both units, maintaining accurate stereo imaging without unwanted drift. Each unit is fully calibrated to operate in stereo mode, with all parameters seamlessly linked through dedicated software"any change made to one channel is instantly mirrored on the other. With true stereo and dual mono operation selectable via the SC LINK button, _MIMAS adapts to any workflow, providing ultimate flexibility. To celebrate this release, the _MIMAS Plugin has been completely redesigned, enhancing the user experience and making integration with WesAudio _MIMAS even smoother. With a modernized interface, improved ergonomics, and Total Recall & DAW control, working with _MIMAS has never been more intuitive.
