Stereo VCA compressors are masterful at controlling dynamics on many sources, but they have become widely known for their magic touch on stereo mixes. The BUS-COMP will perform well on stereo mixes, drum mixes, drum overheads, acoustic guitars, keyboards, piano, orchestral instruments, voice-overs and an array of other sources. The BUS-COMP is primarily designed for stereo use, but it can be used just as successfully on individual mono sources. VCA compressors of this type have become widely loved for their ability to control dynamics effortlessly but also for the added tone and depth they provide to the audio signal that passes through them, even when no compression is applied. Specifications: • All analog, 2 channel, stereo VCA compressor • Based on legendary VCA compressor technology • Selectable discrete opamp stage with CineMag USA transformers • External side chain source select • Selectable Hi-pass Filter: 30, 60, 105, 125, 185 Hz • Compressor engage switch for easy A\/B compress vs. no-compress comparison • Performs well on stereo mixes, drum mixes, drum overheads, acoustic guitars, keyboards, piano, orchestral instruments, voice-overs and endless other sources • Can be used on stereo as well as individual mono sources • THAT 2180 VCA's • Optimally provides both XLR and TRS connectivity • Noise: +29dBu, 20Hz - 20kHz • Dynamic Range: \u0026gt; 120dB • Frequency Response: 18Hz - 22lJz • THD + Noise, 20Hz - 20kHz, +20dBu input: \u0026lt;.05% • Input Impedance: 10k Ohms • Output Impedance: 50 Ohms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware processing that stays out of the CPU.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"vmi-benefit-bar\"\u003eFree shipping · Free local pickup in Miami · Financing at checkout\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalogue signal path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent, repeatable settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo plugin latency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRack mountable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the BUS-COMP?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutboard processing runs in the analogue domain, which means no latency and no CPU cost, and it commits a decision at the point of tracking.
