Listen Mode can be activated in two ways:
• On the hardware unit, press the IRON PAD to toggle Listen Mode on or off.
• In the plugin interface, simply click the headphones icon to toggle Listen Mode on or off.
3.2.8 OUTPUT Modes
The ngTubeComp is designed with two distinct output stages, each offering a unique character and
signal path to suit different audio engineering needs and preferences. These stages are color-coded for ease of
reference and operation: GREEN for an electronically balanced output and RED for a tube amplification stage
followed by transformer symmetrization and a passive attenuation circuit. Here’s a more detailed look at each:
1) GREEN Output Stage: Electronically Balanced
The GREEN output stage provides an electronically balanced signal path. This stage is characterized by its
clean, transparent sound. It maintains the integrity of the audio signal with minimal coloration, ensuring a pure,
unaltered output. This setting is ideal for applications requiring pristine sound quality and accuracy, making it
suitable for critical listening environments and scenarios where the natural sound of the source material needs
to be preserved.
2) RED Output Stage: Tube Amplification with Transformer Symmetrization and IRON PAD
The RED output stage introduces a more complex and character-rich signal path:
• Tube Amplification Stage: This initial stage of the RED path adds the harmonic richness and warmth
often associated with tube circuits. The tube amplification can introduce subtle to noticeable
saturation effects, depending on how hard the stage is driven, adding depth and character to the audio
signal.
• Transformer Symmetrization: Following the tube stage, the signal passes through a transformer
symmetrization circuit. Transformers are known for their ability to add weight and warmth to the signal,
further enhancing the output's sonic character. This stage also contributes to the overall tonal balance
and can induce subtle nonlinearities that enrich the sound.
• Passive Attenuation Circuit (IRON PAD): The final stage in the RED output path involves a passive
attenuation circuit, known as the IRON PAD. This circuit consists of a set of resistors controlled via a
relay cascade, allowing for attenuation ranging from 0 to 15dB. The IRON PAD enables the user to
aggressively drive the tube and transformer stages for increased saturation and character while still
having the ability to dial back the output level. This ensures that the subsequent stages in the signal
chain are not overloaded, providing control over the signal's dynamic range without compromising on
the desired tonal character.
Together, these stages offer the ngTubeComp user a flexible and creative toolkit for shaping audio signals,
whether the aim is to maintain the utmost fidelity to the source or to imbue the signal with the distinctive
warmth and richness that only tubes and transformers can provide.
