The T-Komp 500 has a unique design which offers a modern take on the old vari-mu ratio curve. The ratio is progressive and increases with the threshold level.
TK Audio T-Komp 500
To make the T-Komp 500 more useful it has two ratio ranges. The first one goes up to 20:1, perfect for instrument tracking and smashing drums etc., the second, 2:1, is a more narrow range which makes it more suitable for soft compression. The RMS detector has five settings, four from fast to slow where number four, the slowest, is similar to the old 160VU. The fifth position is a program dependent adaptive mode.
Threshold
Make-up gain: 0 to +20dB
Blend control: from dry to wet
Average timing:- 1mS / 40mS (most useful for peak limiting)
- 5mS / 200mS
- 10mS / 400mS
- 25mS / 1000mS (similare to the old 160vu)
- Adaptive mode
The attack and release are locked in relationship to each otherIn: compression in/out
2:1: selects a more narrow ratio range
