Description

The 2-channel TCS compressor has a long list of impressive features, including two separate compression types: Optical and VCA. You can even stack them together! ART also added their famous V3(tm) technology with handy preset voicings for vocals, percussion, bass and other specific instruments - with full tweakability.

Other features include XLR & 1/4 in. inputs, front panel instrument input, side chain inserts, channel linking for stereo tracking, attack, release, threshold, and ratio knobs, de-essing, an expander/gate per channel, V3 control per channel, twin VU meters for measuring compression, twin LED input/output meter for ultra-precise level metering, and the ability to place a tube in the signal path to add some warmth to your signal.
