TK Audio TKomp Rack – Dual Mono Compressor
- Progressive ratio which increases with the threshold level.
- Two ratio ranges, 1:1 to 20:1 or soft 1:1 to 2:1.
- Five RMS settings, fast to slow and an adaptive mode.
- Classic 160vu RMS mode.
- Blend control for easy parallel compression.
- Feed-forward or feed-back mode.
The T-Komp 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.
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.
