Joemeek VC1Qcs Studio Channel

This is a Voice Channel: preamp, compressor, EQ, Enhancer.
Since this is a Joemeek is opto compressor that is the highlight that this unit.
This is a two rack units apareil.
In front, there is an input jack TS scheduled to be used out with a live instrument. There is one scheduled for XLR microphone.
Rear panel: input source for balanced TRS, XLR, insert point, output XLR and TRS, all dex balanced.

UTILIZATION

The preamp fits most situations: phase reverse, phantom power, high-pass filter, switch to using DI come.
The comp is by-passable: adjustment of the ratio, the attack time and release, and "slope" 5 positions: that is how the sound will be compressed between treshold and ratio ...
With the Joemeek, drop the scientific approach to the comp: we must try, to grind ...
The eq is pretty: high and lows are fixed, parametric medium.
I n'utlise not really part enhancer / deesseur...alots find someone better informed in this regard ...
The manual has the merit to exist, but then to say that it is complete ... anyway with this unit, we learn more by testing ...

SOUND QUALITY

Difficult to make a more colorful Joemmek ... but that's why they are used.
It's more that the comp preamp that colors.
After a good mic will sound good through a well-tuned Meek ...
If you find something very true, go vote the way, the Meek's not something flexible.
(Oh, avoid integrated digital converters option, it seems to induce a buzz in the analog outputs)

OVERALL OPINION

For the price, it's a great preamp, provided you want the color ... perfect for everything from near and far like the rock (that is large ..). For other styles, see for yourself, I know nothing, and to be honest I do not care.
This is a good price / quality ratio, I do not regret this purchase ... I Achang well against a VCTwins ... (the same in duplicate) ...

Current Pramp good sense superior quality GS3 my console that is already quite yet!

Opto compressor type "Joemeek" with a slope and compression, the two juggling ratio and threshold ... Attack and Release rested.
Complete connectivity: front input jack and XLR 6.35, rear output and input XLR, Jack 6.35.
Equ LF and HF shelves and semi parametric Mid effective.
Enhancer and goddesses available.
Phase reverse, phantom power supply ...
Very complete

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, it requires further testing and other tests due its specific mode of operation of compression (compression & slope)
I also use for my voice to equ, absolutely superb.
However, I do not use the enhancer nor deeseur for voice.

The manual is not very talkative about the settings and we recommend testing .....

SOUND QUALITY

MJ May 2004: That said, pramp infrieur a strip SSL, NEVE pramp or more upscale.
I use my voice in the studio on the pramp Micvalve the D19, which is well suprieur.
However, the compressor is being VC1 insert for color and flexibility.
The pramp is neutral and prcis, however compression JOEMEEK colors ...
We like it or not ... Me ... I like it!
A baritone voice like mine, it gives him the presence and depth.
I test with a Rode NT2, I guess with a microphone that has superior quality must be the absolute happiness!!
The compression does not pump or he must go there more than necessary!!

OVERALL OPINION

For several months and what a joy ...
I had gone on a Tlaudio Ivory 5051 and I do not regret after trying it on an AKG 414 EB, I ordered it as soon as these machines with their green color become collectors ....

Quality terrible price!!
