TK Audio T-Komp Dual Mono Rackmount Compressor

TK Audio T-Komp Dual Mono / Rackmount Compressor This is the wise spender's Vari-mu (Variable Mu compressor) at 1/4 of the cost Approximately 1 year old, lightly used, and includes original box and power cord. This listing is only for the T-Komp and doesn't include the other preamp next to it in photo. Description and specs from the web: The TK Audio T-Komp is a versatile VCA-based compressor available in a dual-mono 19-inch rack unit designed to emulate the behavior of a tube variable-mu compressor. It offers a unique "progressive ratio" that increases with the signal level, providing options for both transparent, gentle compression and heavy, punchy dynamics control. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Description & Key Features Unique Ratio Design: Instead of fixed ratios, the T-Komp's ratio increases with the signal level (up to 20:1). A dedicated 2:1 mode is available for subtle bus compression. Mode Switching: Toggle between feed-forward (modern, punchy) and feed-back (smooth, musical) modes (rack version only). Timing Modes: Features five RMS timing settings, including four fixed settings (fast to slow, with 4 similar to a 160VU) and one program-dependent adaptive mode. Blend Control: Integrated dry/wet blend knob allows for easy parallel compression. Sidechain Filter: Includes a 150Hz high-pass filter (rack version only) to prevent low-frequency triggering. Build: All units are hand-assembled in Sweden, featuring fully stepped controls for easy recall.
