{"product_id":"tegeler-vari-tube-compressor","title":"Tegeler Vari Tube Compressor","description":"\u003cp\u003eVTC is a high-end Vari-Mu compressor for mastering and tracking.  Simply turn up the input so that the music is compressed sufficiently, get the right timing with Attack and Release, Adjust output level, Finished!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liveliness and micro dynamic is preserved even at high compressions. The VTC matches your music. With his 'gilded' tube sound and extremely beautiful, soft compression he is marvelous in merging the mixes into a homogenous whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VTC suits either the mix-bus, solo instruments and sub-groups. For the accurate reproduction of all settings, all the controllers have been equipped with 42 steps.\u003cbr\u003eWith the link switch, you can uncouple both channels and use the separately for separate signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tube compressor is built after the Vari-Mu principle, like it was used in the Fairchild 670 compressor, has a particularly distinct sound which sounds very musical and already adds the finishing touch to a lot of mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany hours of fitting, hearing and testing were spent on the VTC. The VTC starts the compression very gently and only intervenes more strongly at higher compression. A high-pass filter in the analysis circuit reduces the influence of low frequencies on the compression. Together with the appropriate attack and release settings, these measures ensure that the VTC is able to compress the sum without audible pumping, even with a compression of up to 6 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signal passes through a total of 3 transformers and 4 triode tubes per channel in the VTC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy is that important? Tubes (especially triodes) add overtones to the signal that the human ear perceives as pleasant and improves the perception of the individual sound sources. The individual instruments receive an additional presence through the tube. Transformers convert the current to a magnetic field and back as current and their non-linearities to provide a pleasant compression of the sound before it is compressed. The bass becomes tidier and more defined. The treble is pleasantly rounded off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the Sidechain filter is enabled, the compressor is less sensitive to low frequencies. The filter ensures that the compressor does not start pumping even with heavy bass frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompression can be disabled and the VTC can be used to color the signal through the transformers and tubes. The input control can be used to set the desired grade of tube overdrive. The bypass switch, on the other hand, takes the unit completely out of the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tegeler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56505755140482,"sku":"TEG-VTC","price":1499.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/1648\/8370\/files\/Tegeler_VTC_Front.jpg?v=1774342406","url":"https:\/\/makenoiseproaudio.com\/products\/tegeler-vari-tube-compressor","provider":"Make Noise Pro Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
