What is the IGS Audio Volf Compressor designed for?

The Volf Compressor is a stereo VCA-based bus compressor built to deliver punch, glue, and clarity on mix and drum busses. It’s inspired by classic console designs but refined for modern production standards.

How does the Volf differ from the IGS S-Type or Tubecore models?

While the S-Type offers traditional SSL-style compression and the Tubecore adds tube coloration, the Volf emphasizes transparency and precision. It maintains impact while keeping your mix open and detailed.

Can the IGS Volf Compressor be used for mastering?

Yes – its low noise floor, precise controls, and smooth VCA response make it suitable for both mixing and mastering tasks when used with moderate settings or gradually introducing the compressed signal into the audiotrack by using the dry/wet-mixknob.

What features make the Volf stand out in hybrid studios?

It offers sidechain filters, switchable ratios, and a built-in stereo link, allowing seamless integration into analog-digital workflows. Engineers value it for its fast response and musical compression curve.

Does the Volf Compressor color the sound?

The Volf delivers subtle harmonic richness typical for high-end analog gear, but its design focuses on control rather than coloration – perfect if you want clean, punchy compression.

Is the IGS Volf built in Europe?

Yes, every Volf is hand-assembled and tested in Poland by IGS Audio, ensuring consistent build quality and precision component matching.

How does the Quark compare to the Voodoo?

With identical cables, Quark performs nearly identical to Voodoo. Low-power architecture + improved ULF close the performance gap – difference minimal compared to price.

Can I pair a Quark with a Voodoo?

Yes, optimally: Voodoo as Roon Core Server, Quark as Roon endpoint. Or 2x Quark (Core + Endpoint) for Voodoo-level performance at lower cost.

What digital outputs are available?

2x USB Input/Output: 1x for DAC, 1x for external storage. Roon-ready (account required).

Is Roon the only interface?

Yes, Quark runs only Roon – intuitive library management, Qobuz/Tidal integration, metadata handling.

What is the ULF Generator?

Ultra Low Frequency (Blue/Green/Red): Syncs RF environment with Schumann Resonance. Blue=linear, Green=warm, Red=holographic.

What benefits do EM-Cells provide?

Patented: Conditions DC power supply, reduces noise before signal path. Blackest background of any server.

Compact aluminum/carbon-fiber chassis, passively cooled (no fans). Vibration-free.

Includes Foundation XL Power Cable. Optimized for SR Ethernet Switch, Router UEF, Digital Cables.

Synergistic Research Quark Music Server & Streamer

Compact Roon server with Voodoo performance at a fraction of the price – Exclusive at Falkenstein ProAudio Bielefeld

Revolutionary Highend Streaming Entry

The Synergistic Research Quark delivers legendary Voodoo server performance in a half-width, passively cooled aluminum/carbon-fiber chassis. With low-power architecture and enhanced ULF technology, Quark closes the gap to the pricier Voodoo – identical cables yield nearly identical sound quality.

Patented ULF Generator System

Ultra Low Frequency (3 modes: Blue/Green/Red) syncs RF environment with Schumann Resonance:

Blue: Linear, neutral
Green: Warmth, musicality
Red: Holographic spatiality

EM-Cells (PowerCell technology) condition DC power supply before the signal path – delivering the blackest background of any server.

Technical Highlights

2x USB Input/Output: DAC connection + external storage
Roon-only: Intuitive library management, Qobuz/Tidal integration
Foundation XL Power Cable included
Vibration-free Carbon/Alu chassis (passively cooled)
Optimized SR ecosystem: Ethernet Switch, Router UEF, Digital Cables

Flexible Roon Setup

Optimal configurations:

├── Voodoo (Core) + Quark (Endpoint)

├── 2x Quark: Core + Endpoint (Voodoo performance)
