The JM-115C is a Transformer coupled In/Out VCA based compressor using true RMS detecting similar to the DBX 160VU. Compression ratio starts at a very low 1.25:1, for a very small amount of compression, preventing clipping the recorder input but not over compressing .
Like the 160VU the JM-115C is very easy to set up, simply start at a low ratio, set the threshold around +4 to +10dB and output where needed to get the level to tape you need.!
The JM-115C has a very short and direct signal path allowing for very low distortion and very low noise, it’s a very clean transparent compressor. It does not pad the input (reduce level) before compression, allowing maximum dynamic range from your mic pres ect.
Available in either the 500 Series module or the stand alone that will run off the same supply as the JM-130 mic pre.. Each JM-115C is hand wired and tested.
