I guess at the end of the day everyone has different tastes & it's likely that it's hard to please everyone, but the sound & ergonomics should always be more important then the looks. at least the Shadow Hills is a pretty neutral colour. If it has that "wow look at me" factor as an added bonus then that's cool too.įor me the Fearn stuff looks a bit sickening, that bright red/orange face with yellow writing is a bit "loud & flashy" for my taste. This brings the dual benefits of spectacular audio performance with a universally acclaimed compressor characteristic. I mean the Sontec is solid state, has great big knobs, takes up 4RU & has way more space inside then what is actually needed but it certainly sounds good & feels great to use. This is the 1U rack mounting version of the SSL G Series console master bus compressor, utilising the classic SSL G Series centre compressor design elements within a SuperAnalogue design topology.
But to not even listen to it because of the way it looks is a little narrow minded isn't it? I mean if it sounds incredible & has features like nothing else available then who cares what it looks like? lol Well perhaps it doesn't look as good in real life as it did in the pictures I've seen & you may be right in that 6 RU does seem a little excessive. I know some love the way it looks, but yuck! Haha, either extreme is too far - the box shouldn't be a giant neon sign screaming LOOK AT ME, afaic.Īs for the Shadow hills, it's a real put-off for me that it's a solid state unit that takes up 6RU - it certainly appears that the image drove the layout. Housed in a 1U 19-inch rack-mountable case and beautifully finished in Neves. Bblackwood wrote on Wed, 11 October 2006 23:03 If a Neve 1073 is a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow classically British.
