Tegeler Audio Vari Tube Compressor Dual Mono / Stereo Compressor

Vari Tube Compressor Dual Mono / Stereo Compressor description:

The extremely short signal path within the Tegeler Audio Vari Tube Compressor is completely built with tube technology.

The Tegeler Audio Vari Tube Compressor has a sophisticated and special sound, thanks to its discrete components and short signal path. In addition to input and output transformer, the signal passes through two tube amplifier stages only. The particular Vari Tube circuit enables you to break completely new ground in compression.

The signal within the Vari Tube Compressor gets compressed without any undesirable side effects, and receives more depth and power. The smooth transition from linear amplification to compression ensures a well-balanced sound. This Vari-Tube-technique is still considered state of the art for musical signal compression.

Setting for the desired programme is made by separate Attack- and Release controllers. The compression ratio itself is executed by the Input-controller. The more input the more compression – it‘s as simple as that. The big, illuminated VU-Meters can be switched from output level to gain reduction.

With the Link-switch of the Vari Tube Compressor, you can either separate the channels or link them for stereo processing. For this reason, during recording you can work on two separated signals and then change to stereo mode for mixing.
