Tegeler Audio VTRC - Vari Tube Recording Channel

Tegeler Audio VTRC - Vari Tube Recording Channel

High-end channel strip with a flexible tube preamp, passive Pultec-style EQ, opto- and Vari-Mu compressor

The routing of the compressor and EQ is switchable, it is possible to switch the EQ into the sidechain of the compressor so that frequency dependent compression and de-essing are both possible. If you have a recording that has not yet been refined with the aid of the VTRC, it is possible to edit it also afterwards through the new line input. Thereby the signal does not pass through the Microphone input transformer, but through a separate transformer that has been developed for line level.

All functions of the VTRC (from Preamp to EQ to Compressor) are available to you for the processing of high level signals. If you want to use the VTRC for stereo signals, it is possible to link them.

• Vari-µ compressor (Opto and Vari-µ comprossor can be used at the same time)
• Line input with separate line input transformer
• Two VTRC linkable for stereo operation
• EQ: 24kHz high boost frequency for additional air band
• Switchable compressor timing
• Upgraded tube input stage
• Opto compressor (Opto and Vari-µ comprossor can be used at the same time)
• Passive Pultec-style EQ
• Microphone preamp, character changeable from clean to fat
• EQ can be switch before or after compressor
• EQ can be switched to compressor’s side chain
