Warm Audio BUS-COMP 2 Channel Vca Bus Compressor
The Warm Audio BUS-COMP is professionally designed for recording and mixing stereo tracks, it is the Warm Audio's take on a classic VCA bus compressor, one made famous by companies such as Solid State Logic. BUS-COMP is built a clean, stereo compressor, one quite that is very well suited in handling the dynamics of stereo instruments. It's also handy for stereo-buss work, imparting the sonic glue VCA compressors are known for.
The BUS-COMP is taking on a classic design and capable of adding some nifty improvements, such as the ability of switching CineMag transformers in and out of the signal path at the press of a button. With this feature, you are made capable to opt for sonic transparency or colorful vibe along with the touch of your finger.
The BUS-COMP is also capable of offering a selectable high-pass filter, a sidechain input, a useful bypass/engage switch intended for making comparisons, and a versatile I/O path. Indeed, you'll find XLR and 1/4" TRS terminations used in both the inputs and outputs.
