<span style="font-weight: normal;">Compressor / Expander-Gate has two analog channels (linkable).
Rglages Compressor: Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release + 2 buttons: OverEasy, and Auto attack / release.
</span> SETTING THE expander-gate: Threshold, Ratio.
Connections by: 1 6.35 Input Jack, 1 XLR Input, Ouput 6.35 1 Jack, 1 XLR Output, 1 Jack Sidechain 6.35.

Complete connectivity + ratio not to be a simple gate + compressor rglages complete. Nothing to say the above!

UTILIZATION

Easy when you know how to rule a compressor. The manual supplied is simple and clear, and even gives some of xamples rglages appropriate situations. The pots are notched enjoyable.

SOUND QUALITY

Compressor efficiency! I have used on drums (bass drum, snare, hi-hat), on synthetic bass and lead vocals on, he is doing in his role impecable compressor. The expander is apprciable and efficiently.
I have a dbx 266A and a AudioPhony he is doing as well as any other part of the compression. The expander is effectively part of the dbx 2 on the AudioPhony.
on the other hand is almost unusable on a stro. Compression means immediately and direct the pump, even at relatively low ratios. After recess all dpends the loudness of the sound source to be treated, but I think it is too aggrssif for that use. Same with the switches that rglage OverEasy softknee.

OVERALL OPINION

Compressor for my opinion, for use on individual tracks, as long as you only trying to compress. For this price range that's all we asked and he does it well <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />

I test compared a dbx 266A and AudioPhony it out high on the list thanks to its complete connectivity (better than the 266A) and expander efficiency (a bit better than the AudioPhony)
