WARM AUDIO BUS-COMP

Stereo VCA Bus Stereo Bus Compressor

The BUS-COMP Warm Audio is an analog stereo VCA compressor, based on the classic circuits that have marked an era. Stereo VCA compressors are perfect for controlling dynamics on multiple sound sources, but they have become most famous for their magic touch on stereo mixes. The BUS-COMP Warm Audio works well on the final mix, on stereo drum stems, overheads, acoustic guitars, keyboards, pianos, orchestral instruments, voice-overs and also on sets of other sources. The BUS-COMP Warm Audio is primarily designed for use in stereo, but it can also be used successfully on individual mono sources. VCA compressors of this type are loved both for their ability to effortlessly control dynamics and for the sound depth they add to the audio signal that passes through them, even in the absence of compression.

An inside look The main


purpose of the BUS-COMP Warm Audio project is to recreate the legendary VCA compressor technology, with a few important additions. For example, along the entire signal path, CineMag transformers made in the USA driven by discrete op-amps were used. These transformers are activated by the front switch, and offer greater sound depth. Like all the company's products, the BUS-COMP Warm Audio has been designed at a quality-price ratio never seen before, enabled by modern and efficient processing techniques. From now on, many studios will be able to equip themselves with a compressor of this quality. This is the perfect tool to bring out the qualities of musicians in any type of mix!
