JPK and all at SS,
Thank you for your post. We auditioned the unit before I read your post today and we were really happy with the results. Its everything we hoped it would be. 
Having never seen the smaller version of this VCA it just made me nervous. Thanks for the post and the CP4500. It's impressive. It replaced a Smart C2 and the C2 is not missed at all.

Hi 
I just purchased a CP4500 off Reverb. I read all the specs online before I bought it and was really impressed. I had to sell a Smart C2 for money reasons and the CP4500 looked like it could do the job minus the crush option. When I did my research I saw the 8 pin in a row THAT Corp. 2180 VCA's inside the CP4500. When I got the unit the builder said that Sound Skulptor had changed to these smaller squarish THAT VCA's (4 pins on each side). Needless to say I was not happy. This VCA is small with 4 pins on each side. The only THAT VCA I have ever seen used in compressors is the longer 8 pin in a row version. I want to know if it is a THAT 2180 VCA is it an A,B or C version? Also are the compressors specs the same with these smaller VCA's as it was with the larger 8 pin in a row 2180 models. I can't see anything on them but "THAT". They are very SMALL.
Anyone know anything about these?  Or if there was a change in the CP4500 design specs recently.
It is going on the master bus so I really want to know.
Thanks for your help,
Chris Poland
