MythVCA 500
The MythVCA 500 was conceived as a VCA compressor that would be powerful, versatile, complete, and, as a 500-series device, as compact as possible. It can help bring out any tracks to the forefront of a mix, but also be used on any mix bus to glue it together, or even at the earliest stage of your recording chain.
This is the perfect tool to even out any signal you throw at it: the MythVCA has three different ratio settings (2:1, 4:1, and 10:1), attack times between 0.1ms and 20ms, and release times from 0.1ms to 1.4s.
That means you will be able to compress your tracks as softly or as strongly as you want, without ever destroying or cutting your transients too much. It also has an auto-release function, which will “hear” your signal and release the compression as musically as possible.
The MythVCA can also be linked with another MythVCA through an included linking bridge to process stereo signals.

In the world of professional audio production, precision and clarity are paramount. Whether you are mixing, mastering, or recording, the quality of your signal processing equipment can make a significant difference in the final output. The Tegeler Audio Myth VCA 500 Series Module is designed for audio engineers and producers who demand the highest fidelity and control from their amplifiers. This module ensures that your audio remains pristine, dynamic, and free from unwanted distortion, making it an indispensable tool in any high-end studio setup.
One of the standout reasons to choose the Myth VCA module is its exceptional handling of signal levels. With a maximum input level of +22 dBu and a maximum output level of +24 dBu, it accommodates powerful signals without clipping or distortion. This means you can push your audio signals to the limits needed for professional mixing and mastering while maintaining a clean, undistorted signal path. The module’s input impedance of 10 kΩ or higher ensures it integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of audio sources, providing flexibility in your signal chain. Meanwhile, the output impedance of less than 600 Ω guarantees strong, consistent signal transfer to subsequent devices, minimizing noise and signal loss.
Dynamic range is a critical metric in audio quality, and the Tegeler Audio Myth VCA excels here with a dynamic range of at least 125 dB. This wide range allows the module to handle the quietest nuances and the loudest peaks in your audio without compression or noise interference. For the user, this translates into recordings and mixes that retain their natural dynamics, delivering a more immersive and professional listening experience. The frequency response spanning from 20 Hz to 40,000 Hz within a tight tolerance of +/- 1.5 dB ensures that the module reproduces the entire audible spectrum accurately, as well as frequencies beyond human hearing. This extended frequency response can be especially beneficial in high-resolution audio production and sound design.
Practically, the Myth VCA module is built for 500 series racks, a popular modular format in professional studios. Weighing just 540 grams, it is compact and easy to integrate into existing setups without adding unnecessary bulk. The module’s current consumption of +16 V at 100 mA is efficient, ensuring stable operation without overloading your rack’s power supply. This efficiency and compactness make it a reliable and convenient addition to your workspace.
The versatility of the Tegeler Audio Myth VCA module means it is well-suited for a variety of applications. From precise level control in mixing consoles to dynamic audio processing in mastering suites, this module provides consistent and transparent amplification. Its high input and output levels accommodate everything from microphones and instruments to line-level devices, making it a flexible choice for engineers who work across different audio domains. Additionally, its superior dynamic range and frequency response make it ideal for preserving audio integrity in critical listening environments.
In conclusion, the Tegeler Audio Myth VCA 500 Series Module offers professional audio engineers a combination of high performance, reliability, and precision. Its ability to handle high signal levels cleanly, broad dynamic range, and extended frequency response ensures that every detail in your audio is faithfully preserved. Designed for seamless integration within the 500 series ecosystem and built to exacting standards, this module empowers you to achieve studio-quality results with confidence. Investing in the Myth VCA means investing in uncompromised sound quality for your most demanding audio projects.
