    I do not know the V2, but I have the previous version. I use it for voice (with an AKG 3000 B), and I'm pretty satisfied. The Gate is however quite dangerous (I almost never use it). I do not (more) compressor for voice, but for guitar and bass, it is trs INTERESTED (good sound funky on my old Framus). It is not pure, but it's a - it's dj a.

That said, there's the Phantom power supply and if you do not look clean all costs, and you like "some personnalitquot;, may be a choice. But someone will advise other!

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple, very simple.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Personally, I find it brings a color limit (I always talk about the old version). But I like that touch of personality to what I do, and I especially like the fact that it is for INTERESTED string instruments as a microphone jack (Deutsche guitar, bongos, etc. .).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 years, I especially like the sound it gives my old guitar and versatile (the EQ in vain stepfather me a little fuzzy, I came back in this thing!). With the exprience, I would do this choice that price. But above, I would do a little comparison.

    Lots of lamps (6 floors with 3 tube twin-triode) including the compressor.
    English equation.
    solid, nice, clean.
    I love everything on it except the gate (that is a behringer better deal!).

    UTILIZATION

    Everything is simple and it is difficult to make bad sound on it.
    one branch and it works.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Transparent in that it does not promote things like a JOEMEEK and seems to go unnoticed. but soft, round, dynamic but not super serious, reliable, pleasant and "class" in its tone color.
    very nice on a bass or a dynamic mic.
    no interest in pushing the gain on the lights, saturation (difficult) is not very "pretty".

    no interest in pushing the gain on the lights, saturation (difficult) is not very "pretty".
    fine for voice (where tj is not seeking a dynamic mind-blowing ... but rather to control it and a beautiful sound), it is not worth an avalon and is less bright than Symetrix.
    the gate is unusable, except to put it in "Auto Sleep".

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used for 3 years at least, but not every day.
    I like it. it's a beautiful immediately and without history.
    équalo its compression and can be used in good taste (and it works ... of course !!!).
    if it was a hi-fi system, it is rather that of the quad yamaha.
    English is the sound ... we like it or not ...
    I trust him tj.
    and so many lights at this price ... good value.

    Q / Price = Good
    It is true that the compress is soft and transparent, but is it a default for the sound?

    For the technique, everything is already said.

    I primarily used for decision (voice) (acoustic guitar) (amp), etc.

    For the song you can really do a good job (you need a good condenser microphone), taken for amplifiers with a sm57 I find the sound and really powerful for cons I'm not really happy about acoustic guitars, lack of brightness and clarity.

    Pramp, Compressor equalo a small lamp + optical gate
    Three tridiodes in 12AX7wa (Sovtek low-end home)

    Output XLR and 6.35, 6.35 for a connection to a second linker, and a connector insert.
    It is rack and takes two units.

    UTILIZATION

    Not hard to get his simpa, a condition not be silly (not push the bottom line in a line out and a 2 ...)

    The manual is in English ... That said if you mtrise time the language is little hamlet (down which the Danish simpa is not it? ^ ^), it is very good, neither too much nor too little!

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound! venont in the sound! then the lights with the original, not bad, drinking, without being rvolutionnaire ... chang but three small lights for good and you possdez a beautiful machine!
    I make a personal three Sovtek 12AX7WA basis for an Electro-Harmonix 12AY7 in pramp and two JJ / Tesla ECC83 in equalo and compresso.
    The change has brought me more potatoes, more heat loss in a lightweight, high fever mdium, but it's worth (it ratrape qualo on and voila!)
    microphones that I used above? Beta 58, Beta 87, SM58, apex 415, for all these microphones well it restores their original stamp Global Warming signal significantly, but not make it home to hell!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had four months, I use it mainly for my lives, I was looking for a real pramp, well above the pramp Intgr the tables, which adds clarity, power and heat, I served ! the compresso or qualo are much better than we are used to see insert, so it's perfect and live my way out of the mix but not too much, I wanted to stack!
    I had OCCAZ Allemangne ​​for 570 on ebay in the first silent owner very very careful and had not used so we can say that I got it almost new price!
    Now I'll find my way around other brand pramp, not that I dcut TLA, on the contrary, but I want me a nice park forg channel strip and have diffrent a nice range of color ^ ^

    Technology: lamp
    compressor, gate, EQ preamp
    XLR Connectors and jackkkk
    Personal I raqui a good old small wooden table.

    UTILIZATION

    Config quite simple,
    the sound is really terrible, TL Audio's really the heavy
    English manual (shame), but clear enough.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound is very well reproduced (on the bass is standard)
    the preamp adds a slight Collor, but the eq is used to set all with precision
    the noise gate but not top dpanne well (he does his job, but it is clear there is better).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have used the version in the studio stereo chanels (Ivory Series 1) for 1 year
    and I just bought the 5051.
    When you buy a tl is the compressor, and seriously can not be of, unless it is not known to use it and that starts to swing anything in it.
    I tip for bass, and the battery (though tedious as mono (so you have to take some the head, a reconnect and re-registration by chanel chanel every time.
    Dja Having used many other systems of compression (for the most part digital, the TL really has nothing to do, it brings warmth and potato research (also works very well with an MPC and very effective use pure computer music). HOWEVER: s'apperoit it very quickly it takes two, because that does not pass through rings at once hollow and weak compared to what comes out.
    in the clear if you made a low pass through it immediately will prevail over all other 'normal for a compressor but, it has nothing to do with a digital compass in a 2franc 6. the result is Excellent but we get used to dealing with chanel chanel :-(!
    The report price is Excellent quality but that was just for 130 euro more you can have a stereo version (5021) (see DIGITAL VILLAGE I Discoveries this site after buying Thomann and I must say it's a bit nerva! TLA Ivory 2 5021 to less than 600 E-books!
    with the experience I took the stereo (which is also a 2 chanels spars (5021), less a broken foot and then use guain of time, you lose against the EQ and when we taste to that of the 5051's is hard to do without. EQ is all just the best I've had the opportunity to use simply because the frequencies are well chosen and it brings the desired result very quickly without stifling and without breath. (this is the advantage of this Trache all in one) some people criticized the 5052, there are four possible hypotheses: either the driver of a UPS flingus lamps by manipulating the box ( very possible, as fragile). is the compressor begins to age and the lamps begin weakening. or the people they had the same brain and ears grills and / or does not know how to use it . the 5052 and 5051 twice. this compressor is for use "melo" and not a death of Bourin (prod ideal for POP, HIP HOP, TRIP HOP, surely at least for hard rock, mtal and / or hardtech big sound, Bourin electro, drum & Bass pure.
    Some people criticized the sovtech lamps supplied with the compressor, I will simply say that dpend on what you want to do with. incoming sound while still having the same Determines relative to the desired result. if they do the job (that means you're more pop, "duffy" or hip hop style "Nas, DJ Premier," is what you need.
    I read that if you want the bass massive attack you can forget two years and having lived in Bristol (world capital of trip hop) I would say that it is false (that virtually all the studios bristolien TL Audio quips are maded in england). Massive Attack uses electro bass notes that have undergone different treatments (the compressor is not that matters) the old Rolland is also something and want the Fx.Je to believe that there are better, but even when it is sure it's 500 E and it was worth the money! I think some people have been delivered by clumsy! and it is possible that the lamps will be ammoches along the way (this is the stuff fragile, if we play soccer with the box is sure it's dead), which explains the " Ignorance "some criticism after having put electroharmonix. the sovtech gives a good potato, but then again what is dpend research. I'm going for my chopper electroharmonix and I'll keep you posted!
    Note: Avoid touching the lamp with doight because fingerprints left on the glass part used as fuel and therefore the lamps start to exterminate a warm barbecue sauce that you had on doights!

    I'll let you read the previous review

    UTILIZATION

    Yes it's simple.
    We get a good sound easily bcp faster than on other devices more expensive and more accurate!

    SOUND QUALITY

    This amp is not transparent but very colorful so you'd better test it before. I really like it went very hot, I often hear that it sounds very British. I often gum in the lower midrange between 250 and 500 Hz
    My sound engineer boosts the lot is understood that sometimes a little soft. But what fun for the rest of the voice in concert.
    It is coupled with a Beta 87.

    I recorded my album with at least voice coupled with a Neumann.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 4 years I think.
    I especially compared with slices console: Midas ...
    Ascending: The warmth of sound, the grain
    The -: It can take well cut in the midrange bass.
    Excellent value for money. The beast is not too fragile for a tube preamp. Even if I had to have it reviewed there was not very long because of capricious knobs (but it has turned bcp) and it works again nickel.
