TL Audio VTC

The VTC (Valve Technology Console) is a fully modular in-line multitrack mixer that offers all the benefits of the compact 8 buss / multiple tape output format but with the supreme advantage of TL Audio critically acclaimed valve circuitry - which forms an integral part of the channel, monitor, group and master section signal paths. Available in configurations from 16 channels to 56 channels, and with options including patchbay (internal or external) fader/mute automation and comprehensive meterbridge, the VTC combines the classic warmth of valves with the functional demands of modern music production.

There are hundreds of consoles on the market. But none that sound, feel or look like this one.
Believe us - the VTC simply has no competition!

ESSENTIAL VALVES

The inclusion of valves in the VTC is not just a token addition. They form an essential part of the signal path at several key points within the console: every Channel and Mix B preamp incorporates an ECC83/12AX7A valve stage, as do the Group, Mix B and Stereo master mix amplifiers. This means when recording to tape via a group, the signal passes through two valve stages (channel and group), plus two more stages on mixdown (tape return and stereo buss) - giving a total of four valve stages in the signal path.

In common with our Valve Classics products, each valve stage in the VTC is run from a 250v DC stabilised power source.

COOL MIXING

The siting of the valves within the meter bridge section of the VTC means that any heat produced travels upwards and out through the vents in the bridge. As a result the audio electronics and control surface of the VTC remain comfortably cool! The valves within the bridge are easily accessible for servicing without the need to remove console modules.

SERIOUS DESIGN

In an age of cheap and cheerful console design, the VTC is a breath of fresh air. Built around an extra tough steel frame, each channel is modular and connects via two multiway connectors mounted on a rigid backplane, allowing easy removal and replacement. The frame is assembled in 8 channel sections, allowing a small frame desk to be expanded at a later date if required. All VTCs are supplied with heavy American oak side cheeks and buffer rail to complete that vintage-yet-contemporary look.

All internal signal busses are balanced for maximum signal integrity. The PSU is a custom designed linear supply, with local power regulation provided in each 8 channel section. Regular TL Audio features like 1.6mm glass fibre pcbs, 1% metal film resistors, over-rated valve stage capacitors and gold plated ceramic valve bases are of course a standard feature.


METERBRIDGE

All VTC consoles are supplied with a standard meter bridge, which offers VU metering of all eight groups plus the stereo L/R master. Each meter has an associated peak LED which illuminates at approximately 18dB of output level.

An optional meter overbridge is available which provides 16 segment bar graph metering of each channel and the L/R master. A global switch on the meterbridge allows either tape output or tape return to be monitored. This optional meter bridge is fitted above the standard bridge, and connects via 25 way D-type connectors on the rear of each 8 channel section.

PATCHBAY

The VTC can be supplied with a high quality optional 19in metal bantam jackfield, employing individually screened hand wired cabling for maximum sonic integrity. The patchbay is fully modular for easy maintenance.

AUTOMATION

The VTC has been designed to allow easy integration of third party fader/mute automation systems, which can be factory fitted prior to shipment if required.
