It can be used to add punch to individual tracks, glue a mix bus together, or shape dynamics early in the recording chain, making it a versatile tool for tracking, mixing, and stereo bus processing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTegeler MythVCA 500 Competitive Differences\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eStepped controls with selectable ratio, attack, release, and low-cut filter settings for precise repeatability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStereo link capability with a dedicated linking bridge for dual-mono or stereo bus compression setups\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eTegeler MythVCA 500 Description\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTegeler MythVCA 500\u003c\/strong\u003e was designed to offer the control and versatility expected from a full-featured VCA compressor in a compact 500 Series format. It is equally comfortable bringing individual sources forward in a mix, controlling peaks during recording, or adding cohesion and energy across subgroups and stereo buses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIts compression controls make it easy to dial in both subtle and assertive dynamics shaping. With selectable ratios of 2:1, 4:1, and 10:1, plus adjustable attack and release times, the MythVCA 500 can respond gently to preserve musical detail or clamp down harder when more obvious compression is needed. The auto-release mode helps the compressor respond more musically to changing source material.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA built-in low-cut filter from 60 Hz to 120 Hz adds further flexibility by reducing low-frequency influence on the detector circuit, which is especially useful for keeping bass-heavy material from over-triggering compression. This helps preserve punch and balance on drum buses, mix buses, and full-range program material.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor stereo applications, the unit can be expanded with a second MythVCA 500 using the included special linking bridge, allowing the pair to operate as a stereo bus compressor. Combined with balanced input and output stages, high dynamic range, and stepped potentiometers throughout, the MythVCA 500 is a strong choice for engineers who want consistent, recallable compression in a space-saving format.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMythVCA 500 Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e500 Series VCA compressor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelectable ratio settings: 2:1, 4:1, 10:1\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdjustable attack time\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdjustable release time\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuto-release mode\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLow-cut filter from 60 Hz to 120 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll stepped potentiometers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBalanced input and output\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStereo link capability with another MythVCA via special linking bridge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuitable for track, bus, and recording chain compression\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMythVCA 500 Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eType: 500 Series VCA Compressor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLow-Cut Filter: 60 Hz - 120 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAttack Time: 0.1 ms - 30 ms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRelease Time: 100 ms - 1.4 s \/ Auto\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRatio: 2:1, 4:1, 10:1\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20 Hz - 40,000 Hz ±1.5 dB\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaximum Input Level: +22 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInput Impedance: 10 kOhm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: \u0026lt; 600 Ohm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaximum Output Level: +24 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDynamic Range: 125 dB\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaximum Current Consumption: +16 V \/ 100 mA\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.19 lb\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeight: 540 g\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat's In The Box\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTegeler MythVCA 500\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStereo linking bridge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tegeler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52109544358170,"sku":"117141","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0894\/2714\/9082\/files\/tegeler-mythvca-500--500-series-vca-compressor-with-stepped-controls--bus-glue-and-track-compression_193eafe8-8374-45ca-8706-7403f3280dc2.webp?v=1776791826","url":"https:\/\/squarecable.com\/products\/tegeler-mythvca-500-500-series-vca-compressor-with-stepped-controls-bus-glue-and-track-compression","provider":"SquareCable","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
