FMR AUDIO RNLA7239

JoeStrange · 16th December 2005, 10:28 AM

I own the RNC1773....Cant beat it with a stick as far as price go's for compressors.....IT SMACKS.

Im just wondering if anyone out there has checked out this new piece FMR AUDIO has released? The Really Nice Leveling Amp. RNLA7239.

i love my RNLA. i prefer it over my Focusrite Platinum Compounder and Drawmer DL241.

it can be polite when you want it to, our rather rude at higher GR levels. its no Distressor, but i find it to be ideal for an all-around compressor.

once i finish building the new facility, i'll probably buy 2 or 3 more and use the Funk Logic VRT format.

I have both RNC's and RNLA's...
both are great compressors and sound VERY DIFERENTLY... both are very usable in many applications.

Does the funk logic setup have a power supply or do you have to use double warts?

JoeStrange · 17th December 2005, 04:56 AM

Well the votes look good......77% say

I'll definitly be picking a couple up....I still need another RNC too.

Sorry to everyone for this thread....I just found the original RNLA thread.......and thanks to everyone for the responces.

It didn't work out for me. Its not any better than many good plug ins.

wall warts.
yea, bummer. ah well the little bastards are $225 a pop

also, i'll add that its the best damn Comp south of $500.
if you want to compare it to a plug-in compressor, i'd say it reminds me alot of the Sonalksis SV-315, which ironically sells for the same price. Both are agressive, but not like Distressor aggressive. and both have flavor, but not Drawmer flavor.

and fwiw, the other 2 hardware comps i own are the Focusrite Platinum Compounder, and the Drawmer DL241 XLR. (soft comps i haveare SV-315, Vintage Warmer, MixPack, Neodynium)
i prefer the RNLA to all of them. its got just barely enough balls that i'll use it on the drum bus, but enough grace that i've used it on ac. guitar as well.

have you checked LA Audio ? I'm kinda Curious...

I really liked it. I'll be picking up 2 of them in the new year. After you start using it for awhile I'm sure you'll find it's the swiss army knife of compressors in the under $2000 category.
