Hello

RMS is a sst nvx compressor in the series of Xlogic ssl.
There are many other like:

the Imbir ssl type4
SSL mix bus clone geoff (to manufacture or even (should be rich and brave))
the ALAN SMART REASERCH

All are Tecnologie vca, copying the old dbx202xt now found.

There is no point to make a technical comparison with al supports specification, because everyone can read and then everyone cares san! In addition almost infesable c builder because it is chic (who knows why?) To perform all the same meusures (thd, max input level, impedance of between / output ....), but never in the same conditions or the same units!!
So what I simply recognize is:
TECHNICALLY:
the price of his comp game or indicates the correct one is:

the Imbir de1000eu c-bus comp cheap very interesting live, but on a big studio system or it is not an ssl (the thd and speak limpedance)

RMS super stereo between 1000 and 1500eu, c class already above, it is not bad ssl raproche to level of specification is even monstrous between nival of output with data in dbu; to level but remains all the same impedance So the average game has put behind an great console that has the juice!
I think that there is great live, and very bleufant studio

The GEOFF, follow the plans, you update your components even with the correction of Dr. Geoff, but it s good for the rich sound and passion for electronic very long and Honer between 2000 and 2500 see if vs update

ALAN SMART C2 vs. the rolls if not buy a ssl, but hey 2500eu average, almost the price of the original. Nothing to say it any good

UTILIZATION

Being like everyone else, I don t have the money to buy everything, and distrib dealer or are no longer very pretteur; by concequent I can only speak of the ssl and Allan Smart

Gently pull-in
Its threshold-down little by little
-Do not compress more than 1.5, 2 dB
Use the make-up or gain for the desired nival

As you can see, simple, good sound, no need for manual c so logical!

SOUND QUALITY

To level SOUND:

For all the machines are essentially the transformers and the VCA that are sound.
Imbir and ROLL MUSIC remain very discreet when their components by hiding behind the specifications. So the only way is to try them in context and in comparison a / b.

The GEOFF, it depends on what it vs. put, but also increases the price (example ssl channel contains 10 vca dbx 202 has 100eu unit action, a stereo set you back soon 2000eu has just vca!) But the fun did a price?

ALAN SMART is a top, I prefer to ssl, the first that I heard was in cheerful brian ferry, the C2 was the master, a real hard I think he brought more than a ssl which would very quickly in the pump bottom of the spectrum without being too late at the top. This was confirmed by my inge thereafter.

OVERALL OPINION

That if you want a comp master has put in your console output choose according to your budget, knowing that these products are of exellent value for money, and you'll never be disappointed (you may be ralerez not have enough of money). Do not miss out on the EL7 of empirical lab also called Fatso, other technology, but very interesting and between 1400 and 1700 !!!!!

Voila
if there is a chance that manipulate the Imbir or write ROLL MUSIC Sounds!
