All user reviews for the Samson Technologies S-com

All the basic characteristics of a stro compressor, plus some fantasies.

USE

Comfortable.

SOUND QUALITY

Honest for that price range.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Well OK it's not the compressor of the century, there is not any evidence of precision, but for the price (150 euros nine) was happening.

I use it to give a little potato supplment my MFB Kult (bote rhythms that I love but has a small sound, poor ...) and did his job with a relative neutrality for the price. But let's be clear, look no rgages extreme close-violent style pumping, S Com is unable (here comes a rather small pumping effete if pushed in this direction ) .dropoff window

Personally I find the breath that was not as lev (as one does not rgle the output beyond 3-4 hours anyway). And if despite everything you find it too Introduced there is always the built-gate to remove it. And yes.
Because unlike what Numlogique said (who likes to play the guy apparently svre or so which is fallen on a bad series) this noise gate is very effective, and the attack is relatively well unspoilt (remember that we are in the low-end UTRA).

In conclusion, the low-end easy to access, complete and, if we apply the moderates rglages, is doing quite honestly.

Gate / Expander (release selectable fast / slow)

Compressor
- Threshold
- Ratio
- Attack
- Release
- AEG (Auto Envelope Generator) for automatic attack and release
- SKD (Smart Knee Detector) juggles a hard and soft knee (depending on entry level)
- Side Entry (key) with the possibility of listening

Enhancer

UTILIZATION

It is used as almost all compressors in the world ...

SOUND QUALITY

What crap ...

The gate is far from effective.

The treatment is approximate ... My sound is one of those is getting old when that stuff happens in there ...
It looks like an old compressor freeware poor quality!

The enhancer is a joke ...

OVERALL OPINION

I was looking for an entry-level compressor to compress a little voice in concert or on the slopes-control, nothing more ...
It is rather the low end.

I had a Behringer MDX2600 before and the verdict is the same: neither has spent over 20 minutes of testing.
I tend to trust that Samson was able to make their products acceptable price (S-direct or Hartke bass amps) but now very disappointed ...
Too bad, I'll sell it and buy a good product (BBE MaxCom)

Typical characteristic of a compressor, nothing is missing ...
Ms. cot connectors XLR / jack.
1 Rack Unit 19 inch.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, just spend 5 minutes to 30 minutes to experiment qq'un qq'un for which it served jamma of a compressor, manual clearly not overload reads alone.

SOUND QUALITY

Ffective sound quality for this price, this is not the DBX but it's not the same price, opposite the trs concurence it behaves well.
I use it for a bass drum and bass ..... I insert account to take another two songs.
It is working if the rglage adapt the instrument is assigned.
I put 8 in the ratio quality price.

OVERALL OPINION

Used depuis6 months, no problem. In addition there have a good look!
look, discretion ..... maybe its too ct ...
so I judge the quality price ratio, because there is a lot better on the market but bon....2/3/4 times more ...
experience with the remake that choice I saw my configuration PA ..... AC is in the same range .....
Well, the day I have an acoustic sound is in L I turn!
but I have yet to win the lottery so I did with ...

Manir gnrale of this kind of effect is not trs long handle.
Manir gnrale but only because unfortunately for Samson, their machine is such a shit, as one moves Whereas last time (too) try to catch up with their crap ings.
Quite simply, I have never manipulated a "compressor" (ae!! It made me face the Corchi l. ..) as pitiful as this.
Would stay again in "A Quality Sound".

Efficiency?? Let&#39;s talk about ...
As mentioned in another opinion, rglage the attack time of the compressor is a joke! Impossible to make anything of COHRE. We have m ^ m carrment sometimes feel that the knob does nothing until your exact serves on the sound of a draw numrique guilty ...
To be absolutely forbidden on percussive sounds as well as on how transitional instruments (acoustic guitars, electric clean sound, bass, synth leads kills, etc ...).
Strictly speaking, the only area it could possibly get o the Pingle of the game, it may be the layers of synths and pads. For the rest ...
M ^ m in terms of ffective should also make Csar its pedigree: The GATE is a pure Abrat!
Infficace, unnecessary and completely anti-musical. On this section SETTING THE Expander position fared a little better, but frankly, it&#39;s the VCA section is again.
M ^ m in the order of IDE, Enhancer The argument does not go up the middle. Needless to esprer anything from him, it is simply registered subscriber absent, and when he deigns to be heard, only to rot drastically signal, dj pretty dgueulass by Section pramp imprcise and the attack of the compressor.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>What is the particular feature you like best and least?</span>
On paper, this compressor Parrat trs promising. The ads are CHARACTERISTICS plutt allchantes and I let myself pig by the promise of a dual Comp / Limit / Gate / Expand / Enhancer with Side-Chain. Considering the price, I would have to understand that c&#39;tait simply impossible.
<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>Have you tried many other models before acqurir?</span>
Not bad yes. I work a lot of studios in the world and I am often trs ammen also working on stuff over the "entry level" in the home studio where I ammen intervene.

See website of the brand or product

UTILIZATION

I try to use my what it was sold, compressor & gate.

SOUND QUALITY

I feel sorry and ashamed of the product & the brand ...

OVERALL OPINION

I served as a mediator door shelf, and even it it hurts ... clicks at each triggering of the gate, and volume change at each demarage compressor ... I traded several times and always the same things, many musicians and sound technicians have come to try to make something of the beast, because I am concerned about Remie, misuse, connection etc ... several trials in several settings, but nothing was done. In a word unusable! Stay away

This is a compressor limiter with expander, gate, and enhancer.
For more details, see the manufacturer's website.
The connection is correct, and features for the price are quite correct.

UTILIZATION

So this is where it goes bad.
The gate is noisy, every time it clicks it makes a "tic" slightly annoying when you make a decision in his home studio, the same goes for the expander.
So that I use only live as a compressor input of my amp BASSS after my things, having previously turned off the gate and expander.

SOUND QUALITY

As mentioned before, the noise generated by the gate and the expander is very annoying therefore unusable.
I use it so just live with my bass.

OVERALL OPINION

I have not done this thing for 3 years.
For me it is just as good low-end compressor. Samson would have done better to turn the gate and expander to a cheaper product and is the quality / price ratio would have been correct.

All t said.

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
What lack of precision in terms of rglages ...
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
I think yes (I can not remember too much, but I think it silent complete).
In three of the doubt bnef for the manual
3 for the configuration (that does not break 3 blocks a duck, but is so simple classical)
-3 For rglages

SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality:

It's simple, it is either nonexistent or it compltement massacre source. The worst is that since there is no intermdiaire rglages level, it's one or the other. What he can PForm sound, trs trs is dirty (it does not color the sound, it smears!).


- Effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?

"Efficient" No, "adapted" or has drilled, or a guitar let alone a mix (but the must reconnatre it's normal considering the price) ...
Impossible to give her a potato. (The height for a compressor ...)
on the other hand in side chain (called "key" on this unit) I had fun on the sounds of synths, but then l. .. what he PForm sound!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Prt for a week by a shop (c'tait sympatie from them), made no state of me.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The side chain can have fun ... a little. If we forget the sound quality

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
The compressor of my motive ... surpasses. And yes, it is a bit more efficient and more rglage prcis.
Some plug-in: trs different quality. But it is difficult to compare a trs plug-in hardware.

- How do you report qualitprix?
I do not understand those who, like all models of quality, forgive all default because of price. NO! even if it is cheap it is almost unusable, so it's not a good quality price!
Finally, a product that would not have to be marketed in the State. I assume "it's not a good quality price because there is no qualitquot;.

compressor / limiter / gate 2-way analog rack 19 'blue
- Entée & output jack and XLR


UTILIZATION

Very simple fix:
threshold and compression ratio + a gate and an enhancer for each section.
- Operating in very clear fraçais

SOUND QUALITY

Sound Quality = contrary to previous opinions (bad series??)
mine works fine! (Except that the enhancer does not add much).
Of course, it's not upscale but rather effective.
I use only live on the bass drum, bass, and sometimes voices.
On the great big rock, it makes him very honestly!
Aves groups acoustic is a bit tricky to adjust.



OVERALL OPINION

Global Reviews
- I use this for 3 years. Compared to Berhinger, the sound is better and design better.
- Value for price is very good (in this price range there is not much correct)

- With the experience I remade this choice, I also bought the S COM 4 for 2 years
