Published on 12/08/10 at 08:02 (This content has been automatically translated from French)16 compressor / gate analog in a 2U rack!
USE
very intuitive ... it has something to experiment ... just the space between the potentiometers that is a little restraint but nothing really Gnant
SOUND QUALITY
My first compressor and frankly I pat its capabilities !!! no regrets !!! I spend rhythm boxes / synths and it's really impressive what is possible to produce.
NOTICE GLOBAL
a few months and I plan to order a SECOND ACP88 ... on the other hand must prvoir 1/2 patchbay otherwise it is a bit tiresome to bend over backwards to make the connections ...00 - sw80
Upgraded from the original ACP-88
Published on 02/03/13 at 01:03The PreSonus ACP-88 is an 8 channel compressor and gate/limiter. The ACP-88 can be racked taking up 2 rack spaces. The threshold on this unit is -40 dB to 20 dB with 1:1 ratio. There are 8 ¼ inputs and 8 ¼ outputs with side chain ins and outs. I purchased one of these back in late 2007 and used it till about 2010. I wanted to get this because I was using the original ACP-8 many years ago and wanted to upgrade because many people told me the ACP-88 was worth the upgrade.
UTILIZATION
The ACP-88 gave me side chain on each and every channel as well as trigger inputs on each channel. There are 8 full featured gates and 8 full featured compressors and limiters. This unit took the place…Read moreThe PreSonus ACP-88 is an 8 channel compressor and gate/limiter. The ACP-88 can be racked taking up 2 rack spaces.

UTILIZATION
The ACP-88 gave me side chain on each and every channel as well as trigger inputs on each channel. There are 8 full featured gates and 8 full featured compressors and limiters. This unit took the place of a lot of processors that we had in our studio that were basically just taking up a lot of space so upgrading to the ACP-88 gave use more rack space too!
SOUND QUALITY
Understanding this unit is easy if you have worked with it before and because I was coming from the APC-8 I had no problem getting a use to using this one. If you are new to the ACP-88 I recommend reading through the manual before you get started so you can understand how all of the processing works. The manual is easy to read and understand, you can actually still download it online.
OVERALL OPINION
This rack is great for live sound and in studio. I prefer to keep it in studio though because of how it doesn’t color the sound. Plus having 8 channels in a studio is great too. This gave us a warm sound and every time we used it we loved it. We do not own it anymore because we upgraded to another model but all of the recordings we did with the ACP-88 were great. PreSonus has created a monster!See less11 - muzikalPublished on 04/08/10 at 12:57 (This content has been automatically translated from French)See the information of the first notice
UTILIZATION
Intuitive use for those who know how a compressor. Notched knobs for fine quality with a precise statement of adjustments.
SOUND QUALITY
This machine has 8 circuits composed of a THAT 4301 VCA, an RMS detector and 3 aop.
That took over in 1989 the production of original tracks from David Blacmer
DBX, this circuit is to compile the 2150 and 2252 in a single DBX
box ...
It is therefore the same electronics as the high-end compressors DBX in and you can hear clearly.
No crushing of severe acute fully preserved, non-aggressive medium, it is in the compressor pro, no doubt. It accesses the class example of a Drawmer.

He collects the wholesale level, excellent dynamics, very good signal to noise ratio.
Tremendous versatility: perfectly suitable for the treatment of complex voice (H and F) on drums and bass pechu, corpulent on synths. Transparent or punchy, depending on the settings.
When I must leave a source of a mix, the dynamic control without any adverse effect, it is ultimately always the one who saves me the situation.
When the gate to it is accurate and completely silent at the opening and closing.
OVERALL OPINION
2 years of extensive use, sound recording and mixing.
Only conccurents the Klark Teknik Square one, much more expensive, and after review, a color tone similar.
In summary.
Most:
- Construction of high quality
- His pro
- Versatility
- Ease of adjustment to the fingers and ear
- At 500 euros okaz, that makes 62.50 euros mono compressor with gate, a ridiculous price in relation to the excellent quality of the machine.
Minimum:
- Fan deserves to be a tad more discreet
- Fine tuning needed for a top result, essential knowledge of how a compressor if not disappointment ... (Like any good compressor)
- A bulky hair
I do it again this election for a reason that says it all: there is no machine on the market of this quality at this price.See less120
