Compressor 1U rack 19 ", 2 independent channels, or operating in stereo. Gate, non-editable by computer. Jacks and XLR connectors, input / output" sidechain ". knob of notches 40 each (I counted). No switch of a power failure.
Otherwise, everything is said before.

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?
Yes. One branch is lit, turn all the buttons ... & Go.
The manual are not booked solid, but as mentioned earlier, there's plenty of advice on the internet.

- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
Yes. Two settings for the gate (threshold & ratio), 4 for the compressor (threshold, ratio, attack, release), an overall gain.
2 channels, can be used separately or in stereo link (the voice is a voice teacher).

Automatic mode settings for attack and release of the compressor. Convenient, and works well.

SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality good, not breathing, good compression, an effective gate ... Good bug.

I do not like the sound made by the mode "OverEasy", which begins to compress the threshold.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 year. I use it as an insert on lead vocals, keyboard, and the master live.
This is my first compressor, and given the quality / price ratio .. I do it again this choice. This compressor has a very good build quality, as evidenced by the gold-plated Neutrik XLR connections ...
