The FMR Audio Really Nice Compressor, or RNC as it is lovingly known, draws a thick line in the sand between what is cheap and what is inexpensive. This tiny little stereo workhorse, originally introduced in the late 1990s, has found its place in weekend-warrior bedroom studios and top control rooms thanks to its transparent compression and compact footprint. It would be a steal at three times the price and should make a number of higher-cost compressors blush and get back to the gym.
