Purpleaudio MC77. » Red Stripe 5-9c. The RED STRIPE 5-9 c is an all tube, optical limiter, which utilizes the t4b optical cell for smooth limiting action. Each unit is hand built in Benton Harbor Michigan The “Red Stripe” limiter has been in production for over 12 years and is a first choice limiter for use on vocal tracks, bass guitar, and for mix buss compression/limiting. The “Red Stripe” limiter is comprised of an input stage consisting of a 12AX7 hi-mu dual triode, followed by a 12BH7a medium-mu dual triode.
The limiter side chain is amplified by a single 12AX7 and hi-gain 6AQ5. The gain reduction is accomplished by an electroluminescent panel (indi-glo panel) and a matched set of light dependent resisters or LDR’s . As the input level increases to the unit the signal is fed through the “reduction” knob on the front panel and then to the side chain where it is amplified and sent to the T4b optical units electroluminescent panel.

Radioman Compressor / Limiter - User review. Good morning, Today I am going to review something like a so-called secret weapon in our studio, the Radioman Compressor/Limiter.
It`s just a secret weapon because you can`t buy it at your ordinary shop, you have to buy it on ebay directly from the guy who is assembling it. His name is Harry de Winter. Some Gossip The Radioman Compressor/Limiter is a clone of the legendary Audio & Design F600. Harry de Winter is using the original schematics. They are sold on ebay most of the time for about €500. Functions Basically it`s a dual mono compressor but you can stereolink the channels and use it as a stereo compressor too. Input With that knob you can adjust the threshold. Ouput With that knob you can adjust the level of the processed signal. Attack & Release I don`t know the exact facts like how fast or how long. Sound Quality Overall I`d describe its sound as often "rough" and sometimes "smooth" with a noticable glueing tendency - of course it depends on your material and your adjustments. Roll Music Systems.
The sound of stereo buss compression has become ubiquitous in today's larger-than-life music. When it's done well it can enhance the sense of cohesion and fullness that makes a recording sound like a record. When it's done poorly it can make a recording sound bloated, puffy, muddy, muffled, distorted, and just plain bad. The stereo mix presents a challenge to the compressor that is unlike processing an individual track.
Its charge is to control dynamics on a wide range of sounds without pumping on the kick drum, muddying the cymbals, burying the snare or losing focus on the vocals. The RMS755 Super Stereo compressor from Roll Music Systems was created for just this daunting task. Its controls are specifically suited for tailoring a mix. We didn't waste time or money on gates, external triggers, and other unrelated functions. When you invest in tools, you want to protect your investment by choosing quality tools that last, like the Super Stereo compressor. TK audio BC1mk2. Special Stereo Leveler type 4k / Imbir.

It’s called the not only because it’s the 8 th design of stereo compressor in the P38 series, but also it’s because it has 8 circuit innovations that make it special.
It’s the because it’s the direct descendent of Ted Fletcher’s first optical compressors dating back to the 1960s, these compressors were used universally, even on classical music where their natural sounding compression enhanced countless commercial recordings. The is a ‘back to basics’ compressor without the special features of the P38EX or the P38V7, it is designed to give the most honest opto-compressor sound possible when used with digital recording systems.
The is also ‘back to basics’ on price too…… solid and hand built in the UK, but without the frills of expensive control knobs and other ‘finery’, it is affordable by the smaller studio, but with full performance instantly recognisable as superior and more versatile than any regular compressors. The 8 circuit features are:- The settings on the compressor were: Summit Audio - TLA-100A.
