OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year for scne (singing): a warm sound and flawless, with the compressor as a bonus, I almost feel able to sing ...
I also used in home studio for vocal, acoustic guitars (with a Studio Project C1-couple excellent) or directly with an electric.
I have no exprience in this kind of product, but it seems to me that tlaudio is a wise choice for the price
I regret though that the output sr is not in xlr, there is no eq (however, it should not be missed in rglages taken when using the eq in between), and why not, there is no way to put rglages in memory, but ...

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is it simple?
- Gets it easy to sound good?

Trs simple ...... there's no need to notice.
We shoot two spots ... and it sounds ...

- The manual is clear and sufficient?
Yes ... it's a good complment information.

SOUND QUALITY

- The sound of your instruments or microphones is properly reproduced?
- The prampli is it clear or does it brings a stain?

Yes ..... but watch it a lamp ... prampli
So it's not the source ..... Fidler is to color the sound ....
Give it a serious ... a beautiful grain ...
In short it is as musical as possible .... and that's what counts!

Prevents staining did not fairly be universal ...
It works well on trs voice, acoustic guitars (great sound!) Times amps, kick, etc ...

In retrospect I find it a little soft for percussion ...... but it's still the lamp ... it's not what is most appropriate to use a snare drum .....
It is better to privilgier pramp a transistor in this case ...

UTILIZATION

super ergonomic, could not be more simple.

SOUND QUALITY

there is a clear color, nothing is really neutral, neither the compressor nor the prampli, the sound is very smooth. providing either a dull sound or a typical round lamps. no aggressiveness, but not slamming either. the sound is not clear, nor neutral.
one likes or hates ...

OVERALL OPINION

around these big clash pramplis, I do not doubt that they are not the height of pramplis top flight, but is doing wonderfully.
you really use it to its full potential, giving a roundness and a velvety sound that you need.

I use it for several years, and I'm delighted, I use a microphone BPM Studiotechnik CR73II, microphone very "prominent" a tad aggressive. prampli pass in, I get presents and very warm way. the couple is working well.
also very pleasing on the guitars.

in short, a Pramper allowing her to have a very typ soften the Chinese micro capsules, reliable, and inexpensive.
gnial for a low budget home studio.

The TL Audio Ivory Series 5050 is a channel strip in the form of a piece of outboard gear, consisting of microphone preamplifier and a compressor. It is made up of analog components, and since the original 5050 has come out they have put out a newer version of this, which I haven't used. The 5050 has XLR connections in the back for your main connections, and also has a 1/4" input in the front for plugging your instrument in directly. It is in rackable form and will take up two spaces.

UTILIZATION

Using the TL Audio Ivory Series 5050 is overall a fairly simple process. Even though there are a good amount of parameters to account for, they aren't complicated to use or anything like that. The mic preamp section has a knob for gain level, and buttons for mic/line selection, phantom power, and a high pass filter at 90 Hz. The compression section has knobs for threshold, ratio, and gain make up, as well as buttons for attack, release, and bypass. There is also another large knob to set your overall output level called 'output fader.'

SOUND QUALITY

The tone of the TL Audio Ivory Series 5050 is pretty awesome, especially when you consider what you're getting for the price. Even setting the price factor aside, this is a very good sounding channel strip that can hang with a lot of gear that is more expensive than itself. It has a good amount of versatility between the preamp and the compressor, making it suitable for applications of pretty much any type. While both the mic preamp and the compressor has a similar ilk to them, I would have to say that the preamp is really the best part of this channel strip. While the compressor definitely sounds good, it isn't as impressive as the mic pre and really is just an added bonus as far as I'm concerned.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're looking for a channel strip that is under $1000 USD, the TL Audio Ivory Series 5050 is a great place to start looking. Of course you will have a tone of options to choose from out there, many of which rival and surpass the 5050, but all in all this is a very solid piece of gear that is worthy of looking into. TL Audio boasts a slew of impressive gear, so I'd definitely encourage those interested to check out the 5050 as well as the other units in the Ivory Series and beyond from TL Audio...
