Designed for pro mixing applications, the Heritage Audio Successor is a stereo bus compressor that makes use of a diode bridge as the gain reduction circuit. This design was originally made famous by a certain renowned British company in the days before IC chips made VCA compression possible.

The diode-bridge circuit provides both dynamic control and a sweet, warm, and rich sound. Apply it to your entire stereo bus during the mix stage, or to instruments such as drums and guitars, groups of which can sometimes benefit from stereo compression.

Ratio, attack, release, and threshold are on hand, as is a sidechain-detection filter that goes beyond high-pass filters to let you target the midrange or the extreme high end. You can also input your own sidechain detector signal by means of the unbalanced 1/4" send/return inputs on the rear. When you've secured the amount of compression you desire across the mixer, raise the gain back up with the makeup gain knob, and then quickly a/b the processed and unprocessed signal with the dynamics button.

A blend knob is featured prominently on the right of the unit, making parallel compression a cinch. You can even compare parallel compression to the dry signal by pressing the Blend On button. Anything from a heavy, aggressive sound reminiscent of FET compressors to a more exacting, yet rich VCA sound is possible with the Successor, which takes up 1 RU of rackmount space.

Key Features at a Glance

  • True stereo operation on single controls with matched gain cells for precise left/right tracking 
  • Compression tracking works in Oxford mode (highest signal takes over compression opposed to summing left and right channels)
  • Carnhill-based, transformer-coupled balanced inputs and outputs 
  • ´73-style, Class A output stages 
  • Diode-bridge based compression adds 2nd-order harmonic saturation characteristics while eliminating nasty odd harmonic content
  • Ultra-fast attack and release time options for flexible settings, including FET-like sounds and volume maximizing without transient artifacts
  • Complex sidechain-filtering options alongside high-pass filters, introducing mid-band peak-type filters and high-frequency compression
  • Sidechain Send and Return connections allow for external sidechain signals or further external processing of the internal sidechain detection filter
  • Blend control offers built-in parallel compression without any external equipment. Blend On/Off button allows for instant comparison in between Wet and Dry signals

Fits 2005 325xi
Size: 2002-2005 E46
Snapped perfectly into place. Zero play with the fit and hood hinge still just as accessible as oe grille. No trimming required. If you’re sick of snapping your grille back in every time you lift the hood, buy it! I also have the colored grill inserts and they snap on perfectly with no play. https://a.co/d/3F83eFx

Fit is perfect and these have a very nice glossy finish
Size: 2002-2005 E46
Fit is perfect and these have a very nice glossy finish, which looks much better than the matte finish. As others have said, the driver's side grill lacks a cut out where the hood latch pull handle swings out when you need to lift the hood (compare the driver's side grill with the existing grill to see location and size of the cut out). I was able to cut an opening within 10 minutes and I haven't had any problems opening the hood since the installation.

Nice Finish, Decent Fit
Size: 2002-2005 E46
The fitment isn't perfect like the OEM grilles, but overall I was satisfied. These are just slightly smaller than the originals so there is a little play once installed. No need to modify the LH side grille for clearance to the hood latch though as other reviews mention. It looks like the design has been revised to address that problem. I was impressed with the paint finish and there weren't any noticeable blemishes like dust or dirt in the paint. These are probably the best and cheapest gloss black kidney grilles for E46 that are currently available. OEM grilles w/ gloss black are basically discontinued so we're all stuck with aftermarket if you want the gloss black shadowline look.

loose fitment
Size: 2002-2005 E46
I guess it's a hit or miss with this. You either get perfect fitment or poor fitment like I did, after the install it's very loose.

Awful fitment, poor quality
Size: 2002-2005 E46
Although not oem quality was expected, but I never thought to throw them away either. Grills look very nice, outside quality is good. Unfortunately the grills do not fit to its place and slip just after you close the hood. After several tries to make them stay in place I have broken 2 clamps. Finally I have removed these grills and went on with OEM ones. Also, pay attention that you must drill a space for hood lock on the inner side (driver side grill does not have the factory space for hood lock handle).
