ART TCS Fat Stereo Compressor

TCS Fat Stereo Compressor description:

The ART TCS Fat Stereo Compressor. Two types of compression power, both VCA and Optical.

The ART TCS is a two-channel high performance compression system which features two types of compression per channel utilizing ARTs Dual Topology technology. On one hand you can choose from optical compression, like that in Arts Pro VLA, for that smooth transparent compression. On the other hand you might want to use a VCA based compression scheme for hard limiting. Both of these compression methods are underneath the hood of this single space rack unit. Taking it even one step further the TCS offers the breakthrough feature of stacking the VCA and the opto isolator for when you want that over the top compression, or a hard VCA limiter on your optical compressed channels.

The main features of the ART TCS include:

• Optical Compression
