«  Its warm, but quickly saturates »

Published on 10/31/11 at 01:55
Tube compressor 2U rack.

XLR connectors.

The device heats a lot, it is important not to stick it to the other racks.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple: all the standard parameter of a compressor (threshold, attack, release), but no ratio, which varies depending on other settings and the input signal. This causes a gentle compression, well adapted to link instruments of a mix.

The downside: the varimu resents the dynamics are too high, it saturates quickly: it is often wise to use a limiter in front (the Slam in my case).

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is warm: the varimu transforms (bon!) mix music.

OVERALL OPINION

For its price, it would have been nice if the device saturates least in high dynamic.

If you do not have a hard limiter to attach to it, it will be necessary to test whether other kinds varimu phoenix does not suit you best.
