SMC 2B Stereo Multiband Compressor er en
rørbasert kompressor som tilfører din miks den varme ”vintage” lyden.
Valgbare delefrekvenser sikrer deg presis kontroll over 3 bånd med
optisk kompresjon. Uavhengig terskel, ratio, attack, realease og nivå
parametere på hvert bånd gjør SMC 2 B både fleksibel og nøyaktig
SMC 2B
Stereo Multiband Compressor
SMC 2B har 3 uavhengige optiske stereo kompressorer. Signalet deles i
tre områder (Low, Mid & High) med 6 dB/oktav delefiltre med
variable frekvenser: 60-1200 Hz for Low/Mid og 1,2-6 kHz for Mid/high.
Designet på delefilter kretsene optimerer summeringen av alle tre
områdene, og resulterer i flat frekvensrespons (+/- 0,25 dB) når gain
kontrollene settes til samme nivå. Alle kompressorene har Threshold,
Ratio, Attack, Release og Gain i tillegg til et display som viser
nivåreduksjon.
Hovednivå settes med Output Gain og Balance kontroller.

"I love my Tube Tech SMC2B and use it all the time! Main use is for the mix bus compression."
Joe Chiccarelli Producer/ mix Engineer, Los Angeles US. Multi Grammy Winner.
".......I use the Tubetech SMC2B on the mix buss on many
occasions. I''ve used it on tracks for Rufus Wainright, Beck ,The All
American Rejects, The Offspring. I love being able to have separate
compression control over three bands. Often many stereo buss compressors
will squish and darken the midrange of a track. In a rock track this
takes the attack and impact out of the guitars and drums . Having the
separate control over all parameters I can set my attack time to be the
mildest on the electric guitar range. Being able to control the
frequency range in the low end works well on tracks that are very dance
oriented. I can adjust the crossover point and make sure the low end
never gets to overcompressed and soft...... "

Here's Marc Carolan's comment on the SMC after using it for the rest of the tour:
"Loving the SMC2B now. I'm using the high frequency path to mimic
the harmonic distortion we used to get with VDosc, making the high end
more pleasing especially over the length of the show. The mid just
tickles, a half dB here and there. Still playing with the low end."
