STC-8 Reviews
|
The STC-8 is a high quality
stereo compressor combined with a remarkably dependable peak limiter,
providing overload protection critical to digital recording and
broadcast transmitters. The STC-8's compressor is engineered to
provide musically transparent gain  control, but is also capable
of emulating vintage equipment and creating distinctive new sounds.
In addition,
a switchable enhancement circuitcreates analog
and tube like warmth to
enrich lifeless audio and digital recordings. This vast flexibility
is simplified by the inclusion of several optimized
presets, allowing
fast, easy set- up on a wide variety of sounds.
It can operate in true stereo or discrete independent mono, accessible
by a front panel switch.
The STC-8's sophisticated
side-chain allows both compression and peak limiting to take place
simultaneously, using the same proprietary gain circuit. High
signal quality is maintained by utilizing a discrete class A audio
path, and by eliminating any VCA or optical gain control elements.
The STC-8 requires 2 rack
spaces. All inputs and outputs are transformerless and balanced.
The toroidal power transformer is UL approved and allows four
line voltages for international use.
The STC-8 delivers consistent
gain control without sacrificing musical definition or harmonic
richness.
