Usable. The
RNC is designed for the real world. That means its knobs are spaced so you can
turn them without screwing up other settings, and we carefully selected its
fonts and colors so you can read your settings from across the room regardless
of lighting conditions.
Precise. Control markings
are extremely precise. In fact, many users have told us that the RNC is one of
the few compressors they've used with a truly positive feel between the front
panel controls and the action of the compressor.
Accurate. On the RNC, the
numbers on the knobs are actually significant. What they say is what you're
really getting. Borrowing from computer terminology, we refer to the RNC front
panel as WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get).


Flexible. The RNC can be wired in
two ways, using TRS or TS cables. TRS cables allow you to connect the RNC
directly to mixer inserts with one cable per channel; TS cables allow for other
applications, such as patchbay connections. The sidechain uses a TRS connection;
use an insert cable to connect it to a normalled patchbay.

Smart.The RNC signal
path is completely analog, while under the covers its controls are digital. This
provides accurate, precise controls and easily reproducible settings with a
no-compromises signal path.
