FMR Really Nice Compressor
HOW IT'S DONE
The RNC achieves such high performance at a low cost by using evolutionary advances in digital technology, coupled with the best analog has to offer. Using digital controls and an all-analog signal path, the RNC offers accurate, precise controls and a clean tonal character.
The RNC provides two modes of operation: normal and SuperNice TM. Normal mode allows the RNC to be used for everyday compression tasks, like punchy snare drums or bass guitars, and is great for everything from gentle compression to serious squashing. SuperNice mode provides near-invisible signal compression for sensitive material where compression artifacts are less desirable (like vocals, acoustic guitar or the program bus).
HOW IT SOUNDS
In a word: transparent. The RNC yields clean, airy compression with few artifacts and little high end loss, even at massive gain reduction. This amazing performance is why many professionals are calling the RNC one of the best sounding compressors for under $2000
UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS
"I can tell you right now, [the RNC] blows the pants off any compressor I've ever heard for under $2000."
Larry Seyer, Grammy-winning engineer (Asleep At The Wheel, Manhattan Transfer)
"Maintains its sonic integrity, even at extreme compression ratios."
Mick Conley, engineer for Kathy Mattea
"Yeah, what he said."
Kathy Mattea
"The RNCs work great for me on kick drum on crunch setting. They are killer on piano and electric guitar also. In fact, I can't make them sound bad on anything! Unbelievably quiet and very adjustable... the RNC is a real winner!"
Ed Seay, engineer/producer, Martina McBride
"The RNC1773 has accuracy and transparency typical of compressors costing many times as much... I'm still amazed by the price!"
Robert McEntee, guitarist for Dan Fogelberg, Carole King
"The RNC's SuperNice mode is super smooth!"
Bob Power, producer/Grammy award winner for Eryka Badhu
"Really clean compression... we used it on our main audio feed for the last Farm Aid broadcast..."
Malcolm Harper, ReelSound Recording
