Compressors Limiters & Gates

Essentials for studio recording and live sound setups, compressors, limiters and gates allow you to control the dynamics of your audio signals. Compressors and limiters effectively reduce the level of a signal once it passes a certain threshold, allowing you to smooth out the peaks. Gates are mainly used for cutting out noise, closing completely once the signal falls below a set level. Our range includes models from leading brands such as DBX Pro, Applied Research & Technology and FMR Audio, offering neutral processors for live setups and more coloured options for adding character in the studio.

FMR Audio RNC1773 Really Nice Compressor
Cat: 823964 Rel: 18 Oct 21
 
Compact and cost-effective stereo compressor with a high-fidelity audio path and compression scheme
Notes: A solid gold modern classic from FMR. The RNC must be one of the biggest studio bargains around. Proper analogue compression with digital control, offering pro sound at an affordable price.

Supplier's Notes:
What It Is

FMR Audio's first product, introduced over 18 years ago, the Really Nice Compressor (RNC) is a compact and cost-effective stereo compressor with a high-fidelity audio path and compression scheme. The RNC provides quality compression at a budget price.

How It Sounds

The RNC provides two modes of operation. One allows the RNC to be used for special effects, like snappy snares or popping basses. The other provides near-invisible signal compression for sensitive material where compression artifacts are less desirable (like natural vocals, acoustic guitar or the program bus). The RNC yields clean, airy compression with few artifacts and little high-end loss, even at massive gain reduction! The amazing performance is why- even after almost 20 years- many professionals are calling the RNC one of the best sounding compressors for under $2000.

How It's Done

The RNC achieves such high performance at a low cost by using using a microprocessor to replace discrete sidechain components (resistors, diodes, capacitors, opamps, transistors, etc) with chunks of software, thereby reducing the component cost. This approach, however, still processes the main audio in the analog domain, avoiding the problems associated with digital audio conversion (e.g., latency, digital artifacts). Even the problem of "scratchy" pots and switches are avoided: no audio flows through the front-panel controls. The front-panel pots and swtiches merely feed DC voltages to the microprocessor and it takes care of adjusting parameters and signal path with components - like sealed-relays and VCAs - located close to the input/output jacks avoiding noise pickup and audio quality reduction due to aging controls! With this blend of technology, the RNC offers the accuracy and precision of digital control with the clean tonal character of an all-analog signal path. The RNC's digital control permits accurate repeatability of your favorite settings.

FMR Audio RNLA7239 Really Nice Levelling Amplifier
Cat: 823968 Rel: 18 Oct 21
 
Compressor reminiscent of some classic opto compressors
Notes: What It Is

Years ago, many RNC users pined for less invisible compression and requested that FMR Audio offer a more "colourful" compressor, suitable for bass guitar, drums and other sources in need of added sonic texture. In response, the FMR designer went to the RNC archives and resurrected a version of RNC software that had been rejected for release because it wasn't invisible enough! The result: a compressor reminiscent of some classic opto compressors used to just "level" the signal rather than tame every transient. To celebrate the RNLA's sonic "colour", a bright red knob* was chosen as a visual metaphor. Although the most recent version ships with a less ostentatious red-striped knob (not shown), the RNLA's sonic colour remains bolder than ever...

How It Sounds

"Thick" and "gooey" is how some customers have described the RNLA's sound. The RNLA is, admittedly, much "gentler" and not as apt to grab'n'run with the signal. Like an old-timey photocell, the RNLA is a little resistant to responding right away, but requires the signal to be there for a while to get the photocell to act. This action yields a soft musicality to the compressor's action that adds a desirable characteristic to the source signal.

How It's Done

The RNLA and the RNC share much of the same hardware, but run different algorithms to achieve the desired effect. The RNLA exercises the well-known dictum (among dynamic processor designers) that, after the static characteristics of the signal path, the main contributors to a processor's sound are the shapes of the attack & release envelopes. The RNLA's software then transforms the sidechain signal into a drive signal for the VCA that both slows things down a bit and totally reshapes the crisp and quick action of the RNC's "normal" mode. This reshaping (and slow down) are the primary sonic drivers behind the RNLA's "thick and gooey" sound!

Samson S-COM 4 Compressor Limiter Expander & Gate
Cat: 674413 Rel: 10 Jan 18
 
Compact 4-channel compressor/limiter, expander/gate with enhancer
Notes: The S-Com 4 is a compact and versatile single-rack space device that provides four channels of high-quality dynamic processing with an Expander/Gate and Compressor/Limiter on each channel.

The four channels operate independently or in stereo pairs. Its multi-segment LED metering displays input/output level as well as gain reduction. The Expander/Gate section features a continuously variable Threshold control, as well as a switch for fast or slow release times. The Compressor/Limiter section includes variable Threshold, Ratio and Output levels. S-Com 4's Enhancer switch restores high frequencies that are sometimes diminished by heavy compression.

This wide-ranging combination of features makes the S-Com 4 an efficient and versatile audio tool for a wide variety of applications. Its clean and quiet audio characteristics make it ideal where high sonic integrity is imperative.

ART Solo VLA Single Channel Multi-Voice Tube/Opto Compressor
Cat: 1019201 Rel: 15 Jul 24
 
Single channel multi-voice tube/opto compressor
Notes: Ideal for vocals or instruments, the Solo VLA delivers proper analogue compression at an affordable price. Optical compression and 12AT7 valve circuitry combine for real hardware character.

Supplier's Notes:
Whether it's to fatten up an instrument take, smooth out a vocal performance or prevent clipping while laying down tracks, the ART Solo VLA will elevate your projects to the next level.

The Solo VLA Multi-Voice Tube/Opto Compressor was designed to excel in applications where transparent, musical dynamic control is desired. The Blend control lets you combine the dry and processed signals for parallel compression, perfect for preserving your full dynamic range while adding fullness and sustain. Select between a pristine solid-state path or a class-A vacuum tube gain stage for warmer saturation.

The Solo Series of single channel rackmount units have been developed for the recording enthusiast with a preference for simplicity.

Suonobuono NABC+ Sidechain Stereo Analogue Compressor
Cat: 1057573
 
Stereo analogue compressor
Notes: The nABC+ is a unique stereo, analog, digitally controlled sidechain compressor.

Its sound spans from clean and smooth to warm and saturated, thanks to the high-gain analog preamps. The digital control unlocks features that are impossible with any other compressor. Compression can be triggered by MIDI, analog gate/CV and audio signals.

The nABC+ includes extra features designed with live musicians and small studios in mind. For example, you may mix your sidechain signal and the compressed audio directly inside the nABC+, saving on mixer channels and cabling. If you play with acoustic drums, you may even plug a dynamic drums microphone directly to the sidechain input, without need for external preamplifiers or mixers.
