Amazing opto-cell compression on your desktop!

For superb dynamics processing, turn to the CM 1A compressor from Tube-Tech - it's an optical, all-tube unit that's perfectly suited to recordings such as vocals, drums, bass, and lead guitar. The CM 1A is built exclusively for use within the RM 8 frame that allows you to mix and match between Tube-Tech modules including a preamp and EQ. This allows you to build your custom front end or processing rack with the stellar sound of Tube-Tech at the heart of it all. Get premium compression from the CM 1A.

Tube-Tech CM 1A at a Glance:

• Circuitry
  
• Other features

Circuitry
The Tube-Tech CM 1A Compressor features a gain-reduction element, positioned immediately after the input transformer. It is controlled by the sidechain amplifier, which also contain the two time control circuits - one for fixed and one for variable Attack/Release. The two time-controllers can either be used separately or combined. This circuit contains semiconductor op-amps for the entire control.

Other features
A tube-based push-pull amplifier follows the gain-reduction element with variable gain up to 30dB. A dedicated Bus selector with three positions (Off, Link 1, Link 2) is used whenever you want to link several compressors together. Input and output transformers have a static-screen between the primary and secondary wirings. Input and Output is transformer balanced as well as fully floating for signal integrity.

Tube-Tech CM 1A Features:

• Requires RM 8 rack for operation
  
• Unique low distortion gain-reduction element
  
• All tube-based push-pull amplifier
  
• Multiple interconnection of several compressors via two busses
  
• LED display for monitoring compression and output
  
• Continuously variable attack and release time
  
• Gain Range (off to +30dB)
  
• Variable Threshold (off to -30dBu)
  
• Frequency response @ -3dB: 5Hz to 25kHz
  
• Low noise: < -75dBu @30dB gain
  
• Clickless bypass switch
  
• Frequency response @ -3dB: 5Hz to 25kHz
  
• Ratio: 2:1 to 10:1

Great compression for any instrument or voice with the Tube-Tech CM 1A!
