The Smart Research C1 Compressor delivers a cost-effective and stripped down version of the full-blown Smart Research C2 Compressor. Without the CRUSH feature and the Sidechain Inputs, the C1 most closely mimics the basic form of the classic British VCA console bus compressor, but with Alan Smart's attention and sonic refinements firmly in place.
The Smart Research C1 Compressor is the original black front panel version of the much loved Smart Research C2 Compressor. The Smart Research C1 Compressor features two sets of controls and two audio channels but it does not include sidechain inputs or CRUSH facility which are present on the Smart Research C2 Compressor. The Smart Research C1 Compressor has been a popular, longtime staple of both UK studios and among pro studios along the west coast of the US, primarily.
