TK Audio T-Komp 500 Comrpessor

The TK Audio 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 Comrpessor Details

To make the TK Audio 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 narrower 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.

Features

  • 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 (similar to the old 160vu)
    5. Adaptive mode
  • The attack and release are locked in relationship to each other
  • In: compression in/out
    • 2:1: selects a narrower ratio range
    • Gain reduction meter

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
