All user reviews of 4/5 for the Urei / Jbl 1178

VCA compressor both channels.
The compression section is identical to 1176, the difference is at the preamp output line, is in IC, the 1176 using a discrete circuit with transformer. And of course, the second channel.

UTILIZATION


Yeah, that's clear is simple, it effcace.

it's old too, so it must be revised.

SOUND QUALITY


Pass through without compressing the signal colors already. This color in the upper medium, already noted in the preceding opinion is in the output circuit. The more you shoot the more there a. Is harmonic distortion, neither more nor less. This gives a distinctive character to the tracks processed, making them softer and fuzzy, while placing itself well to the mix. It also planed a little spectrum to extremities.

Compression is beautiful, very characteristic of the very short time of release we have all heard before he tried the machine. Attacks on short, it is "squashland" snares out of OH and become distant cannon fire, the acoustic guitars plinkpln taken too close harmony. For voice we add the grain is less smooth, but not to blunder into place everywhere, it does work anymore.

OVERALL OPINION
