Superb

Don't be fooled by the price. This is a great compressor. Doesn't color at all. So if you are looking for a "warm" sound, this is not for you

Inexpensive, great features, and very quiet

Almost right out of the box this gear did exactly what we needed. Very easy set up and just some tweaking and we haven't touched since. Couldn't be more pleased with price & performance.

The compressor is good, does exactly what is necessary for one compressor gate, for dual microphones or just one, it does the job
