Product Description
The Inward Connections VC500 is a VCA compressor for the 500 format and it raises the bar! Master Craftsman Steve Firlotte did not disappoint with the VC500, utilizing the famed SPA690 op-amp with Military Spec construction. The VC500 module is refined enough for mastering or mix buss use, but rocks enough to replace a dbx 160VU on bass or snare, bring out harmonics and air on an acoustic guitar or pump some room mics for a levee breaks effect. The VC500 can do it all.
