FMR Audio RNC500 Really Nice Compressor 500 Series Module

Based upon the Really Nice Compressor, the RNC500 not only fits the increasingly popular API500 series rack, but delivers an improved dynamic fidelity befitting the format! This dynamic-range compressor provides positive signal control while leveraging its pedigree for simultaneously reducing collateral sonic damage. Additionally, it adds some thoughtful features that most folks won't overtly notice, but will be glad that they're there: overcurrent protection prevents a rare failure from bringing down your whole 500-series rack, an early-warning power supply detection that causes the RNC500 to enter bypass—irrespective of the front panel switch position—to avoid power-down pops, a robust 18 guage electro-galvanized enclosure that keeps the delicate electronics safe from harm and helps protect against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from affecting things inside or outside of the enclosure.

Features:

• Single-channel, 500-series version of the RNC.
• Balanced input & output.
• Linkable for stereo operation.
