FMR Audio RNC 500

Great sounding unit full stop, let alone for the price. Very versatile, especially when paired up with a second unit. Love using aggressive settings on unit 1 for vocals and then utilising the 'supernice' mode on unit 2 to reign everything in.
It isn't the most sturdy feeling unit, and the packaging is a bit minimal, but for the price you won't find anything better. Good purchase!

A 500 series compressor with all the necessary parameters. So few compressors on the market at this price point give you knobs for threshold, ratio, attack, release and make-up gain. The super nice setting is also very transparent. I use it for voiceover work and tracking and its versatility is excellent. Great for tracking and a good price.

I've bought this item in need of a transparent compressor for recording.

Soundwise it's really clean, it can do a lot of work without noticeable compression.
Supernice mode is even nicer. If you need a character, this is not it, it's only gain reduction, but more transparent than plugins.

Mine has a fault: once I set the attack over 15 ms it stops compressing. LEDs show gain reduction that is not happening.

I use the compressor mainly for vocal tracking, it seems to do it's job well:)

I don't have many points of comparison, other than plugins...
