The signal used for gain control is sensed after the gain reduction feedback style compression and it is fed to the gate of the FET. The greater voltage that is applied to the gate, the more gain reduction the signal will receive. Uniqueness The is extremely versatile since it can be used as a compressor or limiter, and is definitely unique in a few ways.
In the LN, both the attack and release times are user-selectable. Attack time can be set to between 20 microseconds and microseconds, while release time can be set to between 50 milliseconds and milliseconds 1.
However, unlike many other devices, the LN attack and release times get faster, not slower, as their corresponding knobs are turned up clockwise. Most compressors have a threshold, the voltage level where the gain reduction starts. The is a feedback style compressor and although it does have a fixed threshold, the threshold changes depending on the ratio. The same effect can be achieved by just pushing in and The way the sounds, and specifically, the way All-Button mode sounds, is partially due to it being a program dependent compressor.
The attack and release are program dependent, as is the ratio. The will faithfully compress or limit at the selected ratio for transients, but the ratio will always increase a bit after the transient.
To what degree is once again material dependent. But in All-Button Mode, a few more things are happening; the ratio goes to somewhere between and , and the bias points change all over the circuit. As a result, the attack and release times change.
This change in attack and release times and the compression curve that results is the main contributor to the All-Button sound. This is what gives way to the trademark overdriven tone. The shape of the compression curve changes dramatically in All-Button. Where is a gentle slope, All-Button is more like severe plateau!
Furthermore, in All-Button mode there is a lag time on the attack of initial transients. One more thing worth knowing: the perception of distortion is increased with lower frequencies in All-Button Mode. Because of this, you can make a pair of overheads or a room mic explode with the , especially with the frequencies and transients created by the kick drum.
Jim Williams. I prefer the G. Ripped up and fixed up, of course. The older 3 transistor B's are best used for dark rock or RAP. Jim Williams Audio Upgrades. Blue stripe, red power light. Rev E: SN: - V power transformer with voltage change over switch. Rev G: SN: - Removed input transformer and replaced it with a diff. Ideally, yes, but if you look at how the SN run there would seem to be only 'E's made- so your chances of finding one would be on the low side. I think most people go for US versions and use a step down mains transformer It all comes down to personal preferences.
Personally if I could I'd use nothing but the blue stripe 's. Listen to "Carry On" My Studio. Just watch out for those ver. C's that have the potted square module inside with the small trim pot accessable. This is the early version LN preamp that they felt they had to pot up in epoxy to avoid Altec from ripping them off. These do have a small electrolytic cap inside and it will fail.
The guys at Urei sent me all the existing documents on it's internal layout, the circuit is the same as the later versions without the module but it's incomplete and a bitch to re-trace and redesign, I didn't have the time to invest in it. Maybe if someone drops a couple of grand on me I might give it a go. Hey Kestral, VK had one as of a week ago. Don't know if they still do but an arm, a leg, a kidney and about 4k will get ya that one!
You guys have excellent customer service and I am excited about the next upgrade I complete on my fifth recording facility. I've been in the studio business for forty plus years. The salesman I worked with at Vintage King was the best of the best. You all rock! Robby T. I would recommend Vintage King to any one looking for top-class gear, unbeatable customer service and the best prices on the map! Jake D. My experience with Vintage King was excellent.
The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased. Michael D. From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
Thomas W. I am a new customer of yours. You guys provided me the absolute best deals in ordering all the equipment to power my brand new recording studio. Your customer service is amazing and i will always deal with you from here on out. Rob M. Thanks for your great service and getting this out today. You guys really are the Kings! Alan B. Better than expected! Truly impeccable service.
Your team was professional, knowledgeable, provided speedy delivery above and beyond standard. Vintage King Audio is definitely my go to for all of my audio and information needs. James O.
