ISP-Online review: Todo en uno o 2x1Here comes a Creme review for our Spanish, South and Central American friends, where the Tegeler Audio Manufaktur gets more and more established. The Creme was straight away ennobled with the "Producto Seleccionado" stamp. So, in the eyes of the ISP editorial team, this is an excellent product.

A few quotes
For some it is an unknown brand, but for others a name that has been around for years. Finding your place in the exclusive premium audio club is very complicated. In doing so, Tegeler is not tired of actually creating exclusive products at reasonable prices.
Everything that went into the Tegeler Creme sounded better at the output than at the entrance. The quality of the equalizer and compressor is really good. At the same time, subtle changes are more its purpose than radical ones. Aggressive coloring is neither its market segment nor its intention. The cream tries not to be perceptible.
The Tegeler Creme is just as the first high-end device as a complement to an already extensive range of compressors and equalizers, because it will surely find its gap in all possible situations. It has a cheap price, less than two thousand euros and when you consider its quality and its characteristics, I think everyone should consider this device in search of the right product.
In the Original
"Todo lo que pasé por el Tegeler Créme realmente sonó mejor que cuando entraba." – Alex Blanco, ISP Música, 2017
"La calidad de su ecualizador y compresor son realmente buenos." – Alex Blanco, ISP Música, 2017
His verdict: the price is "realmente competitivo" – and given its quality and features the Creme should definitely be on the list.
What the Creme Is – and Why It Sits on the Mix Bus
The Creme is our bus compressor and mastering equalizer: a passive Pultec-style EQ and an SSL-style VCA bus compressor in one 2U unit. The order is switchable – EQ before the compressor or compressor before the EQ. On the mix bus the compressor pulls the separate parts into one whole, almost inaudibly at a 1.5:1 ratio, with a rhythmic signature of its own at higher ratios and faster timing; a side-chain filter keeps frequencies below 60 or 120 Hz out of the control circuit. The EQ offers a bass boost between 20 and 200 Hz and a high boost between 10 and 24 kHz, each 0–5 dB, every value on a rotary switch – which is why every setting is exactly reproducible. If you want plug-in recall, the Creme RC with motorized pots has it: Amazona.de reviews our Creme RC.
