Tegeler Vocal Leveler 500
Optical compressor with FET tube simulation in API 500 format with stereo link function.
Tegeler took the Opto Compressor from their Vari Tube Recording Channel and imported it into the compact 500 format for you. Thanks to the input transformer, opto compressor and FET, the Tegeler sound is perfectly transferred into the 500 format.
Tegeler's in-house transformers ensure a harmonic basic saturation right from the start. Then the signal goes through the tried and tested opto circuit from the VTRC. The FET finally provides a final, warm, tube-like sound refinement.
The Vocal Leveler is a classic optical compressor with no frills. With just two knobs for gain reduction and output volume you have exactly the parameters at hand that you really need to achieve fast and convincing results.
Thanks to the link function and stepped potentiometers nothing stands in the way of processing stereo signals and recalling your settings easily. You can also control the reaction times of the compressor via a toggle switch and are thus prepared for a wide variety of recording or mixing situations.
The musical compression behavior that’s typical for optical compressors makes the Vocal Leveler a flexible dynamics tool that is not only suitable for voices. Signals such as bass, acoustic guitars, etc. also get along very well with its soft, inconspicuous compression.
The Vocal Leveler remains transparent and subtle even when it's hit a little hotter and thus also serves as an optimal protection against overloading signal peaks during recording without destroying the micro dynamics or the character of your audio signal.
