Glue and shine for your mix bus – with recall from your DAW. The Tegeler Audio Creme RC is a remote-controllable stereo bus compressor and mastering equalizer. It puts a passive Pultec-style EQ and an SSL-style VCA bus compressor in one 2U unit, and every control sits on a servomotor so your settings come back with the session.
Why customers choose it

Good to know

- Needs a network (router or direct cable) for remote control; it also works by hand from the front panel.
- Needs 2U in a 19-inch rack.
FAQ
Can I put the EQ after the compressor?
Yes. The EQ/compressor order is switchable.
Is it only for the mix bus?
It is built for the mix bus and Tegeler says it is just as suited to mastering.
