All user reviews for the TL Audio 5051 Mono Tube Voice Processor

Complete period. Lack of serial digital.

UTILIZATION

Quite simple. It must still control the base.

SOUND QUALITY

I changed the bulbs for ENGL. I used the base coupled to an AT4050 for vocals. But I find it more efficient on low.
The soft knee compressor is if the drive is not pushed. The equa is not bad, without more, it does its job but is rough in addition subtraction.

OVERALL OPINION

Slice that does its job, it is a good brand that respects the manufacturing quality of its products.
It will be very useful and efficient on low, a little less on the voice, and the cart for acoustic guitars.

Sound tube 3 amplification stage, semi parametric equalizer compressor noise gate, true
mono channel strip rack units 2.

UTILIZATION

Yes no particular problems. while for the sound you can get the sound you want, sound rather
colorful style to the SSL. I use my personal all-digital card via SPDIF optional and there I
say, the beast really gives it a best of everything is functional, even on the gate
which I have read the bad reviews. In any case I gets no clicks or other ill effects
to the gate unusable from what I read here and there. On the contrary I would say I am quite
glad it works and my voice taken are all the better.

SOUND QUALITY

For my part, I am delighted with this amp and I must say, it is still difficult to make the wrong
with her. mics that I Deputy static or dynamic, it fits well. effectively to
those who research sound very neutral, so there go your way, because it provides a color we like or not like it.

OVERALL OPINION

For about six months. The sound is colorful it is, but what I like most is that it is possible
through a compromise, it changed the lights to approach a particular preamp
legend, or rather to compose a new sound through various lamps.

Prampli, compressor, 4-band equalizer lamp with a noise gate has vca. So there are really three lamp. three possible entries: micro, TD, line

UTILIZATION

The preamp withstands shock, the compressor is quite soft equalizer sounds great lamp. an interresting selection allows you to place the eq. before the compressor

SOUND QUALITY

Colorful looks as if using a lamp, but it tends to make everything a little soft but it can be a choice.

OVERALL OPINION

3 years of loyal service I think changing the lamps a little tired,
I have the same model in series indigo 1 U rack is a little more nervous than the ivory series,
it's all a good product even in the sense any lamp for the price ca does.

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. I read that the V2 silent cleaner, but you know, you take your instrumentals and you're going to try it, right?
Personally, I give her 8 prdcesseur, especially because I think its a little fuzzy and EQ because the gate is positively random image. 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.

I will pluttdfendre PB66 that Plastok (dsol. That's the lamp, even if it's a bit more than we could prcis acqurir for this award 66. There is not a compressor but a little too imprcis all the same, and possibly a random image gate, four bands, a former VU with several rglages (positive ngatif, etc..) and a switching legalization (not mine, it's convenient) and a switch allowing Galise before (or APRS) compression. This rack is white, and it's not ugly. Oh yes: 48 v phantom power and possibility of a plugger mic, an instrument and other things all the time. It's complete, then, "Belgioum Nine Points".

UTILIZATION

It is as complex as it is complete. It takes a few months connatre (this may be why has not Plastok AIM), both rglages can change the sound. Personally, I find the EQ a bit vague and excessive in certain ranges (yes, Plastok: treble, etc.). The big problem is the gate and have to start one day a whole spiel of 6 minutes to get it to rgl Manir too optimistic. Use it only as a cut-down breath (the rest is dcoupe on the computer). Like I said, it is a complex machine dj. Equalize before or APRS compression is as subtle diffrence, but there a. Difference And we also still have the choice to compress or not. Then the slecteurs frequency drives are good tags and plutt After a few months, they are handled quickly trs. In short, he must learn a prampli mater. Finally, the manual, I do not know if it is clear or not. I have not read. I put 7 because it is complex, not least because it is full.

SOUND QUALITY

Me, transparency, has not only m'intresse. So here, I color, and it is well trs. I have an old Framus electric guitar, and with the 5051 is a really good couple. The one senses the lamp (because these guitars Designed to taient). On a synth I do not see the intrt. When the voice is well RULES (the numrotation brief note does not help rglages), is frankly not bad at all. There's color, the heat if you want (question of legalization of all, I think), and the atmosphere is l. The 5051 is one of the color of my lments zik. But Obviously, this is a bias.

If I had a studio pro, I probably would have a prampli of this kind, among others, because he has the personality. So, I give 9 because without him I would be lost! (I would have given 4 for a transparent product).

OVERALL OPINION

I uses it for 3 years. I love the guitar, I find it more difficult rgler on the voice, with all of the same AKG 3000B dj prcis enough. But I'm going to do. As I said, the report is very well qualitprix and color me very flat. With esprience, I take two for the linker in Stereo and all go by (except synths) ...

Unlike Celophane, I mean the TLA 5051 Ivory 2 (so this is the latest)
Preamp, Compressor, and Gate 4-band EQ and analog-type lamps (3 in total). 2 units. 6'35 XLR or jack. Line-in, micro, micro + alim phantomet instrument (6'35 jack in faade).
Is complete.
It is beautiful and trs why we can congratulate TLA.

UTILIZATION

Hyper intuitive! in 2 seconds you take it in hand and you hear the diffrence that you are making a ds knob. 2 routing capabilities: the EQ before the compressor or APRS.

SOUND QUALITY

I use a Rode NT2 for voice or with an electric bass (of average quality). I also used a Vigier guitar. In any case, the sound is much suprieur trs.
Lamps can really customize the sound, the compressor is working, the EQ is impressive as is the gate (careful though the pumping effect).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 3 months and for life. I strongly advise anyone who wants to invest for the long term in a Preamp / Comp / EQ / Gate.
I bought new London home TURNKEY for 360 pounds (3600 dollars) while in France it is found twice. DSOL our gossips but this award, worth to dplacer.
In conclusion, I would say that the big burger (but only my opinion )!!!!!!!

Modified: September 15, 2004:
The outlet does not inspire confidence ... a move in any direction. I have installed the TLA in a rack and it does not move as it will not change the electrical outlet. The notice goes global, so for me 10-8 because it's still disappointing given the quality of gnerale 5051

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".
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.

Preamp, compressor and equalizer a lamp
A strip "semi-pro" let's say

UTILIZATION

Very simple and easy. Except for the linker.
I am not to have understood quls silent SETTINGS duplicates

SOUND QUALITY

Then the 10! It's been a sound of hell, super hot.
Bass and bass drum ... that is sublime

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year.
The voice with a TLM103 or T-Bone SCT2000
Of the bass drum (Beta52A, sm91)
On the lower line (musicman stingray, fender precision)
Mastering (link with two VP5051)

Only on the snare drum overheads or that it is unnecessary
but is there a preamp that works on everything under 1000?

"I had the essay until the Blue tube preamp and a 150 other
No comparison

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

Prampli, compressor and equalizer a lamp. That is what is called a strip.
Model and rack XLR and jack connectors 6.35, that is good for the zloty.
I put 10 missing anything (adjoining gate, 48 V, to view, led to overload)

The analog / digital converter is optional and super expensive and not pass the 96kHz
so I changed my mind and I put 9. Shame, it is Mr TLAudio in 1985.

UTILIZATION

Using ultra simple .... finally qqun that that is what is a mixer.
The manual? I have not opened yet!

SOUND QUALITY

Then we enter the subjective. It is excellent, but then very good on the kick
(Beta52A and SM91). It is also low for the royal line, with the EQ is Byzantium (Friends of bass you can throw your POD). For voice, but there are gonna surment best in the category above.
I prcise I use a T-BoneSCT2000 or Neumann TLM103, ca does it well, the beast is forgotten and this is what I demand a slice of cnsole.On often criticized ca compression a little soft but let's say straight out, and c unit is not a compressor. It makes your life easier has the record, a point that is all.
So as I am fortunate to have a friend who one another, m 'comes to borrow his to make mastering (with link function). The result again is excellent, your most powerful mix parrait , warmer, clearer! Now if you want the sound from benassi bro, or massive attack: it is clear that is not the compressor for you.
If you have a small garage band, recording a concert on the console DAT .... Brrr that is nice but that is cold. Zou TLAudio once and we thought on vinyl ....

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year since I 'Utis enough regulirement
The preamp is good
The compress a little soft
The EQ is fantastic
The gate is zero
The saw is too nice to

I tried the Berhinger dja, prosonus blue tube, Art TubeMP .... AC did not

Quality / price: good but not great so I put 8

If c 'is silent again? I 'buy two instead of one or even 5052!

For the technique, everything is already said.

UTILIZATION

I primarily used for decision (voice) (acoustic guitar) (amp), etc.
Overall settings are very simple and effective
English manual

SOUND QUALITY

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.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall I am quite satisfied, but it's still a midrange device, the problem and the advantage is quil easily take over very quickly but also limited, once the 'is to understand how it works there is no surprise. but it's still good gift meteriel the rest is a matter of taste.

Pramp, Compressor equalo a small lamp + optical gate
Three tridiodes in 12AX7wa (Sovtek low-end home)
Instu between a front, a mic input with or without 48v, XLR line input or 6.35
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

The configuration is fairly simple, beginners j'tait for this type of device, and I had in hand well after a week.
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 ^ ^

Ok

UTILIZATION

Ok

SOUND QUALITY

Ok

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 2 months to record an album. Compared my Brhinger ULTRAGAIN possde that a light, the sound is not beucoup best. Three times as many lamps but not three times hotter. It is much easier rgler has obviously. But I think for the small budget, any thing with a 12AX7 you spell the same sound, a microphone chouilla prs. Well it's nice when the compressor has even saves time mixing. But the price is really too high and the quality is not the appointment. SAVE as much and buy a LA610 (or 6176!) And then keep his first pramp 12AX7. You will not change due.
