As a Weekend Warrior, the C300 might do me some good. |

The mix knob controls how much of the compressor is going back into the signal to the board. I just leave it at 100%. Sounds good enough there and works. |

Try it on a drum submix, Evan. Makes it super easy to get full mixes without losing punch. |

Just hours ago I gave the C300 a workout in terms of transparency... Compressing acoustic guitar 3-6dB without making it sound nasty and dull is a real chore for most comps. The C300 passed with flying colors... I put its sonic quality for acoustic guitar right up with the FMR RNC which I had previously thought was the most transparent compressor available for less than several thousand dollars. This baby makes me look good! |

Don't look for ribbon connectors inside, ribbons are soldered to the pcbs. |

Do you have any "road tests" planned for other TC Electronic products? |
Bennett Prescott wrote on Fri, 23 March 2007 03:15 | ||
Yes, probably EQ Station and the new-ish M350. This stuff will start back up soon, although I may not be doing the reviews for either of these. |

I fuckin' hate that, even though it saves fifty cents on the BOM for each connector eliminated. -a |

I recieved a shiny new hermetically sealed TC300 from the brown truck this afternoon. Thanks TC folks. Now I've got three of these widgets in my A (B,C,&D) rack. And I made a really cool swap for an RNC1773! |

Congrat's Tom, enjoy your new widget. Just wanted everyone to know - Keep your eyes pealed for the upcoming thread on the TC M350. Andy Peter's is currently looking out his window for the Big Brown Truck bearing gifts. |

I just want to hear how this guy holds up to everyone on the board... So far it has positive vibes. |

Said Big Brown Truck arrived not long after I got home from work last night, just in time for my gig tonight with Elf Power. Stay tuned (in a new thread). -a PS: Watch those apostrophes, Sara ... |

One of the annoying things about the M300 is the position of the 'Vintage Phaser' patch. Located a knob click down from slapback, it's in that location that is tough to see with the popular rack mounted light PSU. Slapback is so popular in my mixes, I'm reaching for this all the time. In the heat of mix, I've had the phaser start out a song a few times. I wonder if the ergonomics of the 350 improve on this. |

0dBFS is often specced at 24dBu. This could be the "official" value, but I could be wrong. |

Robert, I use one for acoustic guitar all the time, and I just did 6 shows over two days with a pair of wireless lavs and a handheld at high end corpie gigs... took care of presenters with less than even voices and less than predictable head movement smoothly and seamlessly. Made my job easy. |

Is there any mad scientist out there who would know how to adapt this unit from being a cold-sounding digital compressor to a VCA compressor, keeping all the other things the same? Is it possible? |
David Kaiser wrote on Mon, 05 July 2010 15:56 |
The unit just mentioned in the previous post just went wonky on me this weekend. I was running speech through channel one to recording and the channel quit. Power light was still on, but no channel lights. I switched to channel two and went on. Then channel 2 stopped for a short while. Then it restarted on its own and worked to the end of the three day gig. I ran a cd player directly into the inputs and it seemed fine. Will be calling TC Electronic about repair. |
