{"product_id":"warm-audio-bus-comp-2-channel-vca-bus-compressor","title":"Warm Audio BUS-COMP 2-Channel VCA Bus Compressor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe sound of a mix coming together — that satisfying sense of glue, punch, and cohesion — is what the \u003cstrong\u003eWarm Audio BUS-COMP\u003c\/strong\u003e is built to deliver. Inspired by the legendary SSL bus compressor that defined the sound of countless hit records, the BUS-COMP brings classic VCA compression to your studio at a price that makes it a no-brainer for serious engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the BUS-COMP are THAT 2180 VCA ICs, the same chips trusted by professional hardware manufacturers for their transparency and reliability. What sets the BUS-COMP apart is its switchable CineMag USA transformer stage — engage it for warm, colorful character, or bypass it for clean, transparent compression. A selectable high-pass filter (30, 60, 105, 125, and 185 Hz) keeps low-frequency content out of the sidechain for tighter, more musical compression on bass-heavy material. An external sidechain input and a prominent bypass\/engage switch round out a feature set that punches well above its price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're gluing a stereo mix, taming drum overheads, or adding presence to acoustic instruments, the BUS-COMP handles it all with authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWarm Audio BUS-COMP Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-analog 2-channel stereo VCA compressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspired by the classic SSL bus compressor circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHAT 2180 VCA ICs for transparent, reliable gain reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable CineMag USA transformer — transparent or colored\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable high-pass filter: 30, 60, 105, 125, 185 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal sidechain input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBypass\/engage switch for easy A\/B comparisons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXLR and 1\/4\" TRS inputs and outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMono-compatible — works on stereo and mono sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo bus \/ mix bus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrum bus and overheads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcoustic guitar and keyboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiano and orchestral instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoiceover and broadcast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStereo VCA Bus Compressor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChannels\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 (stereo linked)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVCA\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTHAT 2180\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTransformer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitchable CineMag USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSidechain HPF\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30, 60, 105, 125, 185 Hz (selectable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSidechain Input\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal (selectable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInputs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXLR + 1\/4\" TRS (balanced)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutputs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXLR + 1\/4\" TRS (balanced)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUPC\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e860001767964\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm Audio BUS-COMP 2-Channel VCA Bus Compressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited 5-Year Manufacturer Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45683577880633,"sku":"WA-BUS-COMP","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/9912\/9401\/files\/1577835977_1522837.jpg?v=1775576063","url":"https:\/\/www.audioproct.com\/products\/warm-audio-bus-comp-2-channel-vca-bus-compressor","provider":"AudioProCT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
