Opened box to take pictures only! Never plugged in!Can you say SSL G Bus Compressor! Magic Glue for Your MixesThe TK Audio BC501 is a double-wide 500 Series module that delivers smooth stereo bus compression in the style of a famous 1980s bus compressor. Sweetwater engineers call it the "glue" - transparent compression that juices your mixes without adversely affecting clarity. The BC501 not only brings cohesion and punch to your mixes; it's just as great for drum bus and instrument compression. Its built-in blend control makes it easy to apply parallel compression by tweaking your dry/compressed signal mix. An external sidechain input lets you trigger the BC501 with an external source, while a switchable side chain filter (80Hz, 150Hz, or 220Hz) makes the BC501 less responsive to low-frequency energy.Punchy, coherent mixesIf you've ever used the stereo bus compressor in a certain 1980s-era British console, you know that it performs pure magic on your mixes, adding the "glue" that makes them sound punchy and coherent. The TK Audio BC501 does that. It's set up for fast operation in session, with all controls detented for precise repeatability. There's also a secret weapon onboard: a THD switch that adds juicy even-order harmonics to your signal. All in, we'd say the TK Audio BC-501 500 Series Stereo Bus Compressor is a must-have module for your 500 Series rack.TK Audio BC-501 500 Series Stereo Bus Compressor Features:Ratio 1:25, 1.5:1, 2:1, 4:1, 6:1, 10:1Attack 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1, 3, 6, 10, 30, 60, 120mSRelease 50, 100, 300, 600mS, 1.2S and Auto (50mS/2S)HPF 80Hz, 150Hz and 220Hz (6dB/oct)External sidechain input via a stereo 3.5mm TRSTHD circuit that adds even-order harmonicsBlend control from dry to wet in 21 stepsThreshold and Make-up in 41 steps
