« Two independent compressors »

Published on 12/05/12 at 12:27
The BBE MaxCom compressor a 2 XLR, 2 ¼ input and 2 XLR, 2 ¼ outputs unit that can be racked. It is also very well made and portable being only about 5 pounds or so. The main decision to go with this compressor came from its side chain abilities because it has 2 ¼ side chain in and out. The ration is 1:1 to 11:1 with a great frequency response of 20Hz to 20 kHz all in this 2 channel compressor. Using the MaxCom you will not have any issues with clipping because of the peak limiter. The MaxCom has a 4th gen Sonic Maximizer in it which is way better than the VST maximizer that we were using during the time.

UTILIZATION

One of the first things that I noticed with this compressor is that it has 2 separate and independent compressors that each gives you full control over the dynamics and functions. The fact that it is a 1 rack unit but still gives you two compressors was a huge bonus for us and made it a must have.

SOUND QUALITY

If you have ever used a compressor before that had a hard time eliminating noise then this MaxCom will blow your mind away with how it can eliminate those noises with its compression and gate. Setting this compressor up is very easy, it does come with a manual that can walk you through anything you might have questions about.

OVERALL OPINION

You will have no issues getting a huge sound with this compressor, I am not a fan of the bright red color though but other members of my group love it. It would have been better if they used a more neutral color. But, for the price you will not find a better compressor that has 2 independent compressors built into a single rackable unit. It is a great product at a great price and I am very happy that I purchased this when it first came out.
