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.
