The ratio is not fixed: it rises progressively the further the signal goes over the threshold, so a lightly compressed vocal stays natural while harder peaks are held more and more firmly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne compressor for tracking and for gentle glue\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ratio ranges save you from owning separate boxes for separate jobs. The range up to 20:1 handles instrument tracking and smashed drums, while the narrow range up to 2:1 gives soft, barely noticeable control for groups and tracks that only need to sit better in the mix. The RMS detector has five positions: four timings from fast to slow, where the fourth is close to the classic 160VU, plus an adaptive mode that reacts slower to slow-moving material and faster to fast transients. Attack and release are locked together, so instead of hunting for time constants you choose a character and focus on the threshold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eParallel compression without extra routing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blend control mixes dry and compressed signal inside the module. No extra DAW tracks or console channels are needed to keep the attack of a kick and snare while adding density behind it. The gain reduction meter and up to +20 dB of make-up gain let you level-match quickly after compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgressive ratio that increases with level above threshold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo ratio ranges: 1:1 to 20:1 or soft 1:1 to 2:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive RMS detector settings, including a 160VU-style mode and an adaptive mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Blend control for parallel compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed-forward compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake-up gain from 0 to +20 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain reduction meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and built in Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 500 series module, mono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 24 kOhm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: 50 Ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax input and output level: +26 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz +\/-0.1 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal to noise ratio at 0 dBu: better than 94 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRMS timings (attack\/release): 1\/40 ms, 5\/200 ms, 10\/400 ms, 25\/1000 ms and adaptive mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD: level and compression dependent, mostly even harmonics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TK Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55776509559121,"sku":"61411","price":638.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/tk-audio-t-komp-500-1.jpg?v=1794482394","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de\/products\/tk-audio-t-komp-500","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
