About RDL EZ-MCP1

From the reputable brand RDL, the EZ-MCP1 Microphone Compressor is a high-quality, durable, and compact audio device designed for professional use. This portable compressor is an in-line solution that ensures consistent audio levels, even with wide variations of up to 30 dB from the microphone.

Ideal for dynamic or condenser microphones, the EZ-MCP1 is effortlessly installed between your microphone and a mic-level mixer or amplifier input. It features a straightforward setup with a front-panel level trimmer, which can be adjusted during normal speech until the compression LED just begins to flash.

For added convenience, a rear-panel output level trimmer is also provided, although it is typically left in the default position. The EZ-MCP1 is designed with an automatic 24V phantom voltage switch, which activates when the output is connected to a mic jack providing phantom voltage.

This professional microphone compressor is not just about maintaining consistent audio levels; it also significantly improves sound quality and intelligibility. By effectively controlling overloads that can cause distortion and clipping, the EZ-MCP1 ensures clear, high-quality audio output.

Whether you're recording, paging, or addressing the public in houses of worship, restaurants, clubs, meeting rooms, educational facilities, conference rooms, or commercial sound systems, the EZ-MCP1 is your go-to solution.

The EZ-MCP1 Microphone Compressor also boasts gold-plated connector contacts for optimal signal transfer and a simple setup process guided by an LED indicator. With an exceptional level control range of 30 dB, this compact and portable device is a testament to RDL's commitment to delivering professional, high-quality audio equipment.
