RNP and the RNC.

Comparisons??

Comparison????

What's to compare? One's a compressor and the other's a mic pre..... no comparison......

 

[replicah]

uhh.. not between the two..

compared to other items in their field, price range, quality..

EG: THE RNP COMPARED TO OTHER PRE-AMPS

and

THE RNC COMPARED TO OTHER COMPRESSORS.

Great machines. Lots of headroom. Very clean. Very quiet. RNP has a little bite/edge to the sound as compared to, say, a Sytek. RNC in Super Nice mode will compress almost inaudibly. They look cool in the Funk Logic faceplate....ugly little things without it. Compared to a Presonus Blue Tube/Blue Max combo.....much quieter, much much more headroom, much cleaner, sharper sound image. Everybody needs at least one RNP/RNC. That's about all I know.

great. thanks for the advice.. anyone else?

The RNP I only know by others opinions, but the RNC is a great cheap clean, quiet, compressor. It is simply one of the cheap gear all pros.-Richie

[replicah]

maybe i still get the RNC?

thanks again!

I'm not really impressed by the 737 (Avalon tube channel strip). I do, however, *love* their solid state pres M5 and AD2022. I own AD2022, and it is a workhorse. For tubes, consider Pendulum. Lots of folks will try to talk you out of buying a top flight pre, because it bugs them to see a guy on a permit driving a Ferrari, but you know, you can learn recording with great gear just as well as cheap gear, if not better. I have never regretted spending the money on good mics and pres, personally. I don't think I'll be selling my Avalon anytime soon.-Richie

the ad2022 is a little out of my price range with a shelf of 4,000AUD$.

what is the Avalon VT-737SP like? its a thousand $ cheaper..

also what is the difference between the ad2022 and the single mic pre? i would have thought it was the same pre just only one of. explain.. thanks
