    Description

    This is rare  TCS LC-1 Limiter Compressor.
    I'm doing a replacement of all the soviet capacitors and I'm doing a test.
    This is demo from my Canadian friend (a famous rock musician) from his studio:

    NOS cond-s (never used from stock),  user manual  with schematic are included.
    For your consideration is this extremely rare all-original example of a TCS LC-1 Limiter Compressor. A Russian-made, solid-state, stereo or dual mono broadcast dynamics processor.
    A Russian-made, solid-state, stereo or dual mono broadcast dynamics processor. It is a great all-around stereo compressor/limiter in the likes of a pair of Distressors, if made in early '80s. That is to say, it works wonders in a number of situations, has many options for dialing in the perfect compression settings, but has more character and color like that of a vintage compressor. It really sounds great. This unit features two channels with attack, release, threshold, range (ratio), and out level; gain reduction meters (reads "gain raduction" on the unit); de-esser; sidechain in/out; mono or stereo (link) modes; 1/4" TRS jacks; It seems like it is very similar to the Audion compressor, which is also pretty hard to find. The main differences between this and the Audion, besides the look of it (this thing is 2 rack spaces, and a military green with colorful knobs) is that it has sidechain send AND return, and it has a de-esser on each channel. It has so much character and usability, it's truly a one of a kind piece. The original spaces for the rack screws don't match modern rack spaces.
    The unit runs at 220V .
    A standard power outlet is installed.
    the power cord is not attached.
    Power : 220/240 V AC
    For use with 110/127V, a voltage converter is necessary!
