UTILIZATION

Paramtres level is like on the 8100A for the compressor section: level of clipping, relche level of the compressor, the low level of coupling with the rest of the spectrum and finally the level of the gate.
It is easy, as with the majority of stuff Orban, to get his beautiful trs, trs stable and spend several days.
The manual is super complete. At the height of the complexity of the machine!

SOUND QUALITY

And the sound is identical, according to internal config, then that of the 8100A or more round and warm.
INTERESTED point this machine is equipped with a loudness CONTRL map, switchable by switch or not, who can avoid a denser sound dj too dense. Rsultat good in all circumstances.
In addition, the method of relche can switch simply by switching be like "linear" as a 8100A or ultimate in "exponential" as the extension XT1 or XT2. More rduction the gain, the greater the relche becomes slow to avoid saturation.
The final clip is excellent. This is a two-band clipper named "Hilbert" trs trs really good and difficult to take into default.
