Vari Tube Recording Channel VTRC – Channel Strip

You have experience with digital music production and with handling plug-ins but are aspiring to reach the professional league?
The digital sound-editing of voices and solo-instruments makes sense if you want to work mobile in the pre-production or want to test through certain equalizer-or compressor-types using their digital clones.
During the completion of your mix with plug-ins, you realized that recorded voices don’t become prevalent, don’t integrate into your mix and clearly sound adapted.

Maybe you made the right decision for quality and bought the a good microphone, however a premium mixing-console is ,to continue with quality, outside of your budget.
So far, you vainly looked for a solution to that problem: a combination of a premium pre-amplifier, compressor and equalizer made up of the finest components is available in only one piece of equipment for an exceptionally fair price that is reachable for Project-studios.

We at Tegeler Audio Manufactur as musicians had the very same problem and therefore shifted our focus towards the development of such a device. The VTRC. The Vary Tube Recording Channel gives your recording the most up market boutique-sound and confident powers of self-assertion, while at the same time creating a perfect integration into the mix.
The device astonishes with its sound-results that is accredited to high-end devices within the top price range when used during blind-tests.
It is the first sound-refiner worldwide who allows for the combined operation of vari-q and opto-compressor and therewith offers a sound-spectrum ranging from clean precision and silky-warm vintage-sound.
The VTRC absolutely convinced us and that is why we offer you to try out this device without any obligations for 14 days. Simply sign up at the above link and the VTC will be delivered to you on the same work-day (if available).

Opto Compressor

An LED beams onto a light-sensitive resistance and thereby regulates level-dependent the amplification. The automatic control of the compressor-timing is additionally supported through the memory-effect of the resistant. Out comes an open-airy and soft compression which keeps the level nicely static but hardly alters the micro dynamic of the signal.

Vari-Tube Compressor

Here, the amplification of a control-tube is directly influenced. The control happens directly through the opto compressor. The result is a sound that will find its place even in a dense mix with sinister presence and nevertheless doesn’t lose its warmth.
