Samson S-com 4 4-Channel Compressor/Gate

If you don't have a compressor, you'll need to buy one. get one. Processing was done with great care. At this point, design is the most you can hope for. The construction and quality of the product are also excellent. br>br>Operation achieves a good balance of flexibility and ease of use. Only the threshold, ratio, and output gain of the compressor can be changed. (These are the most crucial variables. ) entry- Attack time, release time, knee hardness, and other issues are not a concern for level sound engineers. ) Channels 1 and 3 can be set to control 1/2 and 3/4 as stereo channels. The use of the gate is extremely simple. br>br>My only quibble is that the metering can be difficult to interpret.

It was exactly what we needed.

Using the led display, the controls are smooth and simple to adjust. On your audio rack, the quad compressor also saves a lot of room.

For my church, I've got one on the shelf. My only regret is that there aren't any more. One channel is always dedicated to the speaker/pastor, and it always does an excellent job, leaving me with three channels to prioritize between a band that uses 14 channels frequently. Even when mic'ing a snare, the auto knee detection is a nice feature to have and works well. br>br>I use it for a variety of things, depending on the situation: compressing an obnoxious electric guitarist, maintaining consistent piano levels, snare mic (ALWAYS), vocals for people who can sing but don't know how to use a microphone But I'm always wishing for more than four channels! br>br>I haven't noticed any significant increase in signal noise. The board we're using is a Mackie 1604VLZ3, which isn't bad, but the noise from the gain appears to be higher than any noise added by this unit. br>br>I believe this is a middle of the road situation. range compressor, which means it's far superior to the one built into your board (ESPECIALLY the cheap boards!). ) unless you spent a lot of money on your board, but it's not as good as one with more envelope control. br>br>However, who has time to adjust an envelope while mixing in real time? When the rubber meets the road, Threshold is almost all you'll need. br>br>I've never used another dedicated real-time messaging system. Unit for compressing time. br>br>My main criticism is that the metering is ineffective; This could be due to the fact that each area's controls are small. If you require a high compression ratio (for example, if you need to compress a large number of files at once), 1) The only way to tell if something is compressed heavily or not is to look at it. br>br>One thing to keep in mind: It's sandwiched between the monitor amplifier and the digital PA (EQ,x-) in our current setup. The front of the Samson unit, right between channels 3 and 4, is hot, despite the fact that neither of the other two are. To the touch, 4 becomes almost unbearably warm. I'm not sure why, but it's been running without a hitch for over two years, so I don't think it's a problem.
