![]() The front-panel pots and swtiches merely feed DC voltages to the microprocessor and it takes care of adjusting parameters and signal path with components-like sealed-relays and VCAs-located close to the input/output jacks avoiding noise pickup and audio quality reduction due to aging controls! With this blend of technology, the RNC offers the accuracy and precision of digital control with the clean tonal character of an all-analog signal path. Even the problem of "scratchy" pots and switches are avoided: no audio flows through the front-panel controls. This approach, however, still processes the main audio in the analog domain, avoiding the problems associated with digital audio conversion (e.g., latency, digital artifacts). The RNC achieves such high performance at a low cost by using using a microprocessor to replace discrete sidechain components (resistors, diodes, capacitors, opamps, transistors, etc) with chunks of software, thereby reducing the component cost. The RNC yields clean, airy compression with few artifacts and little high-end loss, even at massive gain reduction! The amazing performance is why-even after almost 20 years-many professionals are calling the RNC one of the best sounding compressors for under $2000. The other provides near-invisible signal compression for sensitive material where compression artifacts are less desirable (like natural vocals, acoustic guitar or the program bus). One allows the RNC to be used for special effects, like snappy snares or popping basses. Rugged extruded aluminum and electro-galvanized steel enclosure.No audio flows through front-panel controls, permitting short audio runs to avoid hum/noise pickup.1/4" TRS sidechain insert for special effects. ![]() Single TRS-cable attachement to many "insert" jacks.This mode cascades three stereo compressors in series to reduce compression artifacts. "Super Nice" mode for near invisible compression.Very fast attack times allow positive control of percussive sources. "Normal" mode for serious signal squashing.Accurate & repeatable 5-parameter controls.The RNC provides quality compression at a budget price. ![]() FMR Audio's first product, introduced over 18 years ago, the Really Nice Compressor (RNC) is a compact and cost-effective stereo compressor with a high-fidelity audio path and compression scheme.
