WesAudio _Pandora NG500 Series Multiband Compressor with Digital Recall

WesAudio _Pandora NG500 Series Multiband Compressor with Digital Recall

The WesAudio _Pandora NG500 is a fully analog, stereo 3-band multiband compressor that brings precise frequency-specific dynamics control to the 500 series format, combined with full digital recall and DAW integration. Each of the three bands — split via crossover filters tunable across 40Hz to 15kHz — has its own independent VCA compressor with ratios from 1.5:1 to 10:1, tailored harmonic distortion tuned to its frequency range, and dedicated sidechain filtering: selectable high-pass filters (60/90/150Hz) on the low band and low-pass filters (3/6/9kHz) on the high band, so compression is only triggered by the frequencies that need it. With 24dBu of headroom and a MIX knob on every band for parallel compression, _Pandora delivers the kind of detailed, musical multiband control normally reserved for high-end mastering chains.

Despite occupying three slots in a 500-series rack (using only slots 1 and 2 for stereo audio routing), _Pandora’s analog signal path is paired with a modern plugin GUI offering total recall, gain reduction and input metering per band, and automation recording via ten touch-sensitive encoders — all compatible with VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX. It works in standard 500-series racks via front-panel USB, or integrates fully into WesAudio’s _Titan ng500 chassis for unified control across an entire rack.

Whether shaping a mix bus, taming problem frequencies on a vocal, or adding mastering-grade glue across a master, _Pandora gives engineers the tonal richness of analog multiband compression with the recall, automation, and workflow speed of a plugin.

WesAudio is a Polish audio manufacturer based in Szczecin, founded in 2010, known for building professional analog outboard gear that bridges classic tube and transformer-based circuit design with modern digital convenience. Their flagship ng500 series — including modules like _Rhea, _Calypso, _Dione, and _Mimas — pairs fully analog signal paths with total recall, DAW plugin control (VST/AU/AAX), and automation, all accessible via USB or through their _Titan rack chassis for unified control of an entire 500-series setup. The company’s focus is on giving engineers genuine vintage-style analog tone without sacrificing the recall and automation workflows expected in modern digital studios.
