Bang for buck.
HenryWatkins 01.04.2019
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!

I’ve got both versions
Benharmonic 12.10.2023
The original RNC was the first compressor I bought. Now I also have two of the 500 series version. The main benefit over the original one is that the 500 series version has balanced inputs and outputs. When I record vocals, I always have the RNC 500 compressing the vocals in “Super Nice Mode” on the way in. In the past I’ve used the dbx 160A, the dbx 266xl, and the Warm Audio WA76. While I was able to get usable results with all of those, I feel much more comfortable getting the sound I want from the RNC 500. It’s less muffled and distorted than the WA76, and able to be more transparent than the dbx options. I plan to keep these in my rack for as long as I’m recording music.

Clean and versatile
Anonymous 18.06.2016
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.

Guter Kompressor für die Lunchbox
Anonymous 02.04.2016
Ich hab den RNLA von FMR Audio schon seit Jahren im Einsatz als Gruppen-Kompressor für die Stimmen und bin sehr sehr zufrieden damit.

Nun habe ich für Live auch eine Lunchbox mit ein paar DIY Modulen und hab für meinen zweiten Vocal-Channel einen Kompressor gesucht. Ich wollte zuerst die RNLA 500er Version nehmen, dachte aber da ich den eh schon habe, probiere ich den RNC.

Im Vergleich ist er viel aggressiver, schneller und chirurgischer. Beim RNLA stellt man alles irgendwie ein und es funktioniert, beim RNC muss man besser aufpassen was man macht, da er viel präziser arbeitet und man kann verdammt schnell den Sound tot-komprimieren oder bekommt Pumpen.

Wer einen prazisen, zuverlässigen, gut verarbeiteten und billigen Compressor für die Lunchbox sucht, ist hier gut bedient.
Wer lieber einen "warmen", zahmen Kompressor für die Vocals sucht ist mit dem RNLA wohl besser bedient.

Ist allerdings komplette Geschmackssache, ich denke weder mit RNC noch mit RNLA macht man in der Anschaffung was falsch. Beim nächsten Mal würde ich mir vielleicht doch den anderen kaufen, ist aber ein reines Bauchgefühl und wechselt von Anwendung zu Anwendung. Am besten beide ins Rack ;-)
