«  Very good value for Q / P »

Published on 09/16/11 at 05:05
Gate + Compressor + Maximizer.
Edit the front only.
1U.
For technology, I think the game gate / comp is analog and the digital part maximizer is (check).
The connection is sufficient (I / O on XLR or TRS 6.35, side-chain input jack 6.35 (TS or TRS, I do not know ...).

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, manual quite sufficient.

-1 For the double mini-knobs maximize;
-1 For controls maximizer NOT linkable from one channel to another (must be scrupulously copy values ​​from one channel to another in stereo mode).

SOUND QUALITY

Very satisfactory.

The gate part is very brief (a single knob), but it defends itself quite well.
The compressor plays its role and for this price, the best I've heard by far!
Section maximizer is very well made too.

However:
-1 For lack of headroom on the input of the compressor (I plan to stick me a pad of-6dB is so boring);
-1 Because even if it is good, you can hear the clicks trigger on signals such as kick of 808 (ok, it's a signal that requires a good compressor, but good).

There is no adjustment Knee, which is a pity ...

That said, it's still a device that sounds great.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months in a config LIVE MACHINE. I used to compress / enhencer mix all except / the kick (s) and voice (and other sources as needed) from the side-chain, which is drive by / the kick (s).

I tried a few compressors that price range (Behringer, Samson) and other more prestigious part of my work.

The price / quality ratio is unbeatable (about € 200 new and it sounds great anyway).

Severe lack of headroom on the input, but I would definitely do it again this election!
