Small compressor simple, economic and versatile presets for those who can not settle a compressor (and should not be easy!)
I / O can be symtriques (Stereo jack 6.35) but also works with strings asymtrique mono.
Potentiomtres the volume and the meter can make a good adaptation of levels very easy. Similarly we can choose between two sensibilitsgnrales - 10 dB + 4 dB. This means that it is necessary to have a prampli upstream to weak signals (microphone, guitar ..)

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple, luckily becaufe the effects obtained are difficult trs evaluate the Difference disagree much testing, does not provide a dramatic but subtle. There is an increased awareness by giving large map of dynamics and with the help of dedicated red meter at the rate of compression applied after the input signal and the preset.
I prcise essay that I have a microphone with voice being the only use that interests me but there are presets for all kinds of instruments and it must be extremely easy to find his prev rent configurations.
At first glance, the enhancer is not working because it meant no diffrence. This is because it is dclenche proportion to the compression ratio and indeed it rcupere trs harmonics but also discreet. It is useful to have an IDE add this accessory uncommon.

SOUND QUALITY

This is the second time in my life that I try a compressor, the first I did not understand the rglages. I imagine that it takes a lot of exprience and ear rgler a pro camera. The COM800 facilitates the task of nophite with presets that after all vitent got big mistakes or handling hazardous.
So for our use with a microphone singing, added flexibility in voice cards, remove the saturation and can raise the level of distortion and without fear of saturating the receiver when the singer gives full voice . In this sense, it brings more comfort to her a touch more "professional". We also found an enjoyable rduction the effect of proximity with the SM58.
The amlioration even if it did not seem spectacular even when significant.
But I rpeter I can not compare with a real compressor pro since I do not know.

OVERALL OPINION

I had it in hand one week, both charged to develop a small sound system for a friend singer / pianist Bar less fortunate. He does not regret this modest acquisition which provides more comfort and vocal sound more lightweight "class". It can push Submitted trs strong voice without appearing "brawling" and saturate the system.
There was just room to put a COM800 but I wish one case even more compact and less toc (trs I find ugly) I think Behringer should have done this in small rectangular boxes SERIES sharp angles , rack them easily with a faade more "pro" and condenses, black can be. The appearance also helps the reputable. Why this is good entry-level market should it appear cheap and poorly ncessairement damn?
You really get the line level because it is not without a little breath if you push the sensitivity of.
We think this is a purchase for economic take his first steps in the discrete compression without making head.
