TYPE OF EFFECT
Compressor-limiter with noise gate (door noise) in dual mono mode or coupled (link) for operation in Stereo.

TECHNO
Dual Analog VCA channel (that is the trick)

DITION
Potentiomtres through and push! (Recess)

CONNECTIONS
XLR or jack symtrique 6.35

U RACK 1 / 19 "

UTILIZATION

CONFIGURATION
Simple:
<ul> - A pot. rglage of compression ratio (in fact, a threshold rglage)
- A pot. rglage of gain (APRS catch up the comp.
- A pot. rglage the threshold of the Gate
- The rest is done by buttons: limiting or compression / release rapidly fixed (60 ms) or auto (adaptive) compression / decompression and / or bypass treatment </ul>

RGLAGES
I understand (and approve) the SPL team brings fresh air into the concepts of audio processing, but the names seem to me not "optimal"
<ul> - SOFT LIMIT to, include: limiting mode (on) or compressor (off)
- For EFFECT COMP., Include: fixed release (on) or auto release (off)
- For DECOMP is simple: decompression / dlimitation (on) or compression / limiting (off) </ul>

SOUND QUALITY

TREATMENT
I compared with an analog compressor broadband (ALESIS 3630) and a multi-band analog compressor (MIXMASTER FOCUSRITE). It is located halfway between the two:
- Better than a typical home broadband (with fixed rglages)
- A little worse (quite normal) with a multiband rglages semi-auto

I mainly test mode limitation of complex signals: drums (Stereo mix) and mix DEFINITIONS. The calculation of time auto attack and release according to the transient nature of the signals is actually performing trs: respect "subjective" of the signal source is impressive.

I also test mode "D-COMPRESSION" (or D-plutt LIMITATION) on a total mix: this is no miracle, but restores the ARATS and the "movement" a bit "over-limitquot; (type" roller "). Normally, you should never need this feature if you do well, but sometimes as rcupre pieces of someone next, you never know!

EFFECT COMP mode. is nice, but not need to buy this type of machine to do this!
I was not thrilled with the compressor t (or the compression SETTING THE), my preferences are on the treatment "limiter", which keeps the impact of the attacks of origin.
OK for Noise-gate, but nothing spctaculaire this level.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it "occasionally" when I feel the need arises.

SPECIFICATIONS unless a wish to impose rglages prcis (Classic Interface compressor), I find that this product is excellent for trs great majority of uses, with regard to the report of simplicitefficacit treatment (very low background intrinsque and more!)

At the level of criticism: LED-display of the meters! There is no sparation "color" between the scale of + and -, and position of the face led the graduation scale is not optimal (for rglages fine and fast). This cot the 3630 does better (it is not the only one!)

Trs quality good value for money. With exprience, it seems mandatory to have at least a one (depending on activity. What surprises me is that I would be THE FIRST person Review this effect (in August 2007 !) Two hypothses:
<ul> - No one achte
- Those who are one, are so happy they want to keep their secret for them
</ul>
