THE VC 160 — BOLD AND DIRTY
The VC 160 is based on a popular VCA compressor found in studios all over the world. The VC 160 provides a continuously-adjustable threshold range, from 1:1 right up to infinity.
The VC 160 is mostly used for mixing drums, adding a definitive 'thwack' or 'knock' to even the dullest kick and snare. Also helpful as a mix-fix for troublesome bass, the VC 160 delivers additional attack and a gritty edge — well-suited to hip hop and retro styles, but versatile enough to deliver exciting results on a wide range of productions.
Sound: bold, dirty, thwack
Use for: kick, snare, bass, trumpet

VCA stands for Voltage Controlled Amplifier. The VCA uses multiple ‘detectors’ to monitor the input signal, so response times are fast. VCA compressors are particularly versatile, and perform well in critical situations where hard compression is required.
