T-Komp R

T-Komp R

Description

The T-Komp has a unique design which offers a modern take on the old vari-mu ratio curve. The ratio is level dependent and increases with the signal level, a feature that will give you numerous possibilities.

To make the T-Komp 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 bus compression.

The T-Komp can be selected between feed-forward mode for a punchy, modern response or feed-back mode with a smoother, more musical response.

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.

Features

• Ratio which increases with the signal level.
• Two ratio ranges, 1:1 to 20:1 or 1:1 to 2:1.
• Feed-forward or feed-back mode.
• Five RMS settings, fast to slow and an adaptive mode.
• Blend control for parallel compression.

Specifications

• Input impedance: 24kohm
• Output impedance: 50ohm
• Max in/output level: +26dBu
• Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHz +/- 0,1dB
• Signal to noise ratio @ 0dBu: better than 94dB
• THD: level and compression dependent, mostly even harmonics

Threshold

• Make-up gain: 0 to +20dB
• Blend control: from dry to wet

Average timing:

1. 1mS / 40mS (most useful for peak limiting)
2. 5mS / 200mS
3. 10mS / 400mS
4. 25mS / 1000mS (similare to the old 160vu)
5. Adaptive mode

The attack and release are locked in relationship to each other.

• FB: selects feed-back mode
• HP filter: 150Hz, -6dB octave
• In: compression in/out
• 2:1: selects a more narrow ratio range
• Gain reduction meter
• Link switch
• 115v or 230v, selectable
