The FMR Audio RNC1773 Really Nice Compressor is a compact, highly transparent 1/3-rack stereo analog compressor famous for punching well above its budget price. [1, 2, 3]Key Features

• Stereo Operation: Delivers true stereo compression in a tiny footprint. [1, 2]
• Hybrid Design: Uses a digital microprocessor to control an all-analog audio signal path. [1]
• Flexible I/O: Features unbalanced 1/4-inch jacks that can accept standard TS cables or work with TRS insert cables on mixing consoles. [1, 2]
• Sidechain Access: Includes a dedicated TRS sidechain insert port for frequency-conscious compression or ducking. [1, 2]

Operating Modes

• Normal Mode: Functions as a fast, snappy VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) compressor. It handles transient-heavy material like drum tracks and percussive instruments with ease. [1, 2]
• SuperNice Mode: Cascades three internal stereo compressors in series. This design smooths out peaks and eliminates pumping artifacts, making it ideal for vocals, acoustic guitars, and stereo mix buses. [1, 2, 3]
