UTILIZATION

Trs simple configuration to use: we obtain immediately an enjoyable trs its lime and typ (the VC1Q is for a). The compressor requires a little time adaptaion but guided by the cost, rglages trs soon become natural.

SOUND QUALITY

Pramp color compressor trs color (as a result, we like it or hate it)
for rock and pop, it's a rgal
for classical music, there is certainly more transparent

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent qualitprix (450 euros okaz) of sudden I have two and I rgale with. Note that some types of rglages amnent sounds weird but the machine is expressed. Great for voice (microphone) guitars (micro) low (between instruments), the drum loop, in short, what the body needs.
Made in England + in + hard to find okaz also skip it if you see one

Pramper transistor, opto-electric compressor, EQ, D-Esser, Enhancer. Analog technology. Connectors very UNESCORecords (between XLR Micro facade and behind, between XLR line in front rear, XLR and Jack, I think there's another exit) .. . MODEL 2 U standard rack height. Vintage! (Within 20 years).
Grand-Maître Seen retro-sought not very much clear, which may indicate the compression level or the level of the prampli.

UTILIZATION

Config extremely simple, we get the desired sound very easy when looking for "ear" ... Very complete manual & easily found on the Net ...
The DIFFERENT cuts are easy to spot, and the sound changes as far.
Warning there is a "latent" the arrival of compression, binds to the time it takes systm "opaque wall / photo electric cell" of compression is "re-rgler. ..

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is produced with a thickness supplmentaire not really transparent ... A beautiful vintage color, beautiful medium rather on a snare drum, a voice or a guitar

***** Update ******* from 19/05/2010 Finally, ay, I've a second VC1Qcs to paste on a bus Stros.

So I use this unit as a whole except his prampli. The compressor, the quality and the "enhaceur / d-esser / drive" super profit corporation set up!

OVERALL OPINION

Then used for over a year, Live in the studio. What I love most: the color, but not really universal attention both Pramper may not suit all sources, it can have a cot "Hard".

on the other hand when used to mix, it goes on everything. Congratulations to all these features in only 2U, it always comes out a something usable ... It's a little "cheat" because this rack had been planned to treat t catch votes, but good

I tried quite a few other things (Neve, SPL, TL Audio Symtrix, Aphex, Amek TAC) and I love the color of the sky is clear the compressor bracket. I would do without hesitating that choice, I also bought a second, is to say all the good that I think of what peripherals ...
