The smoothness and warmth that the C-1 tube pre-amp /compressor provides to each track or mix is awesome! The big, creamy and punchy sound, places the instruments right in the mix.
"Its the only all tube console on the market perfect for warming up the digital age." Don Bartley - M1
The 5051 has been a pleasure to work with. It blows away the mic amps on even the most expensive Midas desks and the compressor and EQ make it so much easier to get a natural sound for Kim's voice Sean Vincent - Kim Wilde - 5051
I use the 5051 mainly for mono signals such as a lead vocal, bass lines and of course drums. The warmth and good presence that this machine generates is second to none. The style of music that I do requires edge and this is what I like about the 5051 because it’s almost impossible for it to distort your music. Whether it’s the EQ, compressor or the gate or all at the same time you can push it to a limit where other machines cant handle it Curtis Lynch Jnr - 5051
