TUBE-TECH Introduces CL 2A Dual Compressor
January 28, 1999TUBE-TECH is demonstrating the new all tube based, CL 2A
dual channel opto compressor. The CL 2A is a two space unit that in essence
combines two of Tube Tech's classic CL 1B compressors into a single unit, and
features a gain reduction element that has no long term degradation and almost
infinite life.
As an added enhancement over the original CL 1B technology, the CL 2A offers
input impedance of 5kOhms allowing for compatibility and ease of use in professional,
semi-professional and project studio environments. The two channels of the compressor
are linkable for stereo operation and multiple units can be linked together
via the sidechain interconnect sockets provided on the rear panel.
Additional features include continuously variable or fixed attack and release
times, a tube (valve) push-pull amplifier, clickless relays for switching the
compressors in and out, and balanced, floating inputs and outputs.
Technical specifications include frequency response from 5Hz to 80kHz, output
impedance of 60 Ohms, compression ratio 2:1 to 10:1, threshold -20dBm to off,
and gain - off to +10dB. Suggested retail price of the CL2A is $3195. For more information, visit TC Electronic at http://www.tcelectronic.com/ |
