Compressor Dual Mono / Stereo Class A transisitor.

Otherwise nothing spcial.

UTILIZATION

It's a fairly quiet compressor rgler, there's no need plenty of practice as a Joemeek for example, compressor or other strong personality.

The VU meters are large and legible trs.

For cons, I give a BMOL for knobs that are on the copy I really test a intolrable quality, especially considering the price of the machine. Any copmpresseur 300 euros a lot better at the (part may be a Behringer, whatever). Again, I do not know if was just a SERIES of knobs dobs (but from the factory, any brand tration srieuse verifies such dtail ), but it's really ill-fitting are a lot of games and in addition it is in a matrieux which is cheap.

So, but if a bte look terrible, THE FIRST approach does not really impress. I STRID, but considering the price, it may require more srieux.

SOUND QUALITY

The least we can say is that it is transparent and well Dfine. There is no change between the time the machine is in or out. It srieux.

But APRS in the rglages tampering, it is clear that compression is soft and trs trs low marks, even with extreme rglages (again, a m'tonne and I wonder even if the machine I tested was not a default, yet the sound is clean).

OVERALL OPINION

In short, if the machine is working properly, I do not see her intrt in a current context. If we would still be in time for classical music recordings on vinyl and its 50 dB dynamic range, I compressendrais. But the time of compression all is, you can not learn much: no grain, no EHJV, no tural modification of the envelope. It is overpriced for the service.

I will be hard to notice overall, but I always note taking into account the rappot quality / price. And even if this is transparent and Avalon prcis his intrt trs is limited and is only for big studios who want to see this beautiful rack trner trs in the control room to impress clients.
