FMR RNC1773 Really Nice Compressor

Description: A compact and cost-effective stereo compressor. The Really Nice Compressor (RNC) from FMR Audio is a compact and cost-effective stereo compressor with a high-fidelity audio path and compression scheme. 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 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 like latency and digital artifacts. Even the problem of "scratchy" pots and switches are avoided, as 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. Thanks to 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.FMR RNC1773 Features:Stereo compression in a 1/3-rackspace sizeAccurate and repeatable 5-parameter controlsNormal & Super Nice modes for different sources1/4" TRS sidechain insert for special effectsNo audio flows through front-panel controls, avoiding hum/feedbackFMR RNC1773 Specifications:Size: 1/3 x 1UConnectors: 1/4" Unbalanced I/O (TS, or TRS for console inserts); L/Rin& out, TRS sidechainControls and DisplaysRotary: Threshold, Ratio, Attack Time, Release Time, Output LevelSwitches: Bypass, Mode SelectMeter: 8-segment LED Gain Reduction, 0-20 dBModesNormal: Provides fast attack/release, accurate compressionSuper Nice: Layered compressors, reduces compression artifactsOperating Level: 0.775 Vrms (0 dBu) nominalNoise: Less than -90 dBu over 20 - 20 kHzFrequency response: 10 - 100k Hz ±0.5 dB @ 0 dBuClip point: +22.5 dBu @ 3% THD, 1kHz, greater than 2kΩ loadDistortionless than 0.1%, no gain reduction @ 1 kHz, 0 dBuless than 0.5%, 6 dB G.R. @ 1 kHz, 6:1, 6.0 msec attack, 0.5 sec release, 0 dB gain, 0 dBuThreshold range: -40 dBu to +20 dBuRatio range: 1:1 to 25:1Attack range: 0.2 msec to 200 msec for 100% correction withRelease range: .05 sec to 5.0 sec for 100% recovery with 15 dB G.R.Output: trim range ±15 dBAC Power: Wall transformer, 9VAC @ 500mA, 2.1mm jackDimensions: 5.5" x 5.5" x 1.6"Weight: 2 lbs.
