Spectra Sonics 610 Complimiter?
Anyone ever tried these? There's one for sale locally and I don't
know anything about it. What I gleaned from the spec sheet was pretty impressive, how do they sound? Are they comparable to any of the more well-known compressors in terms of color (or lack thereof)? |

Are they comparable to any of the more well-known compressors in terms of color (or lack thereof)? One thing's for sure... they are still worth quite a bit of money! I had three of them at one time, but sold them at various points along the way. They're a little odd, but pretty cool. You can set them up for simultaneous compression and limiting; there's a very fast peak limiter that operates when the signal reaches a certain level, and the limiter operates independently of whatever compression you've dialed in. I've heard people describe their sound as "funky," but I always thought they sounded pretty transparent... kind of like the compression and limitng you get in the digital domain. I've often wondered if people thought they sounded funky because they're counter- intuitive; as I remember, some of the controls are backward when compared to most compressors. I also think there are a lot of people who believe they are tube units, but they're not. (Anyway... when I sold my last one on eBay I got a lot of questions from people who wanted to know what kind of tubes were in them!) John Dixon Phonogenic Productions Kansas City |
