TUBE-TECH Delivers the SMC 2B
November 30, 2001
TUBE-TECH is now shipping the
SMC 2B, a stereo, all tube based Multi-Band Compressor featuring an all new stereo
balance control parameter as an enhancement from its predecessor the SMC2A. "The
SMC 2B is the perfect single piece solution for the engineer looking for the warmth of
analog tube compression with the flexibility of multi-band control for any type of
application, from tracking to mastering," commented Ed Simeone, Managing Director
of TC Electronic U.S. - TUBE-TECH's North American Distributor. "This new
stereo control provides the engineer precise control of the most intricate adjustments
in the sound field for perfect panning results."
The SMC 2B's multi-band compressor technology is derived from TUBE-TECH's
well known Opto Compressor low distortion gain reduction element and features
linked stereo operation for control over both left and right channels with a single
potentiometer for each parameter. It provides 3 independent band specific gain,
threshold, attack and release controls with a single master gain control, in a 3 space
rack unit. The frequencies of each of the individual bands are variable. Inputs and
outputs are balanced and fully floating.
"The SMC 2B continues TUBE-TECH's vintage standards of transformer coupled ins
and outs and no semi-conductors in the signal path, just classic tube design," added
Simeone. The new enhanced stereo balance control feature is offered free of charge as
an upgrade for owners of the original SMC2A model by simply contacting TC
Electronic US.
