Diode Bridge Compressor
The CP554 is a feature-rich diode bridge compressor that offers a predominantly clear tonal response when not operated in vintage mode, providing you with the freedom to maintain sonic purity when desired.
Incorporating diode bridge circuitry as the gain reduction element adds a touch of harmonic coloration, a characteristic that can enhance your sound and introduce unique tonal characteristics.
Prominently, the CP554 employs the specially-developed adaptive HRK soft-knee characteristic, masterminded by B. Hrk. This intuitive feature simplifies the use of the compressor, making it accessible to users of all experience levels.
With its user-friendly design, even beginners can produce professional-grade results. The versatile HRK soft-knee curve is impressively musical and adapts seamlessly to a diverse range of music genres and signal types, granting you exceptional flexibility in shaping your sound.
In Vintage Mode, the HRK custom analog circuitry (no DSP) replicates harmonics closely resembling those generated by the transformers and circuits of classic vintage diode bridge compressors like the Neve 2254, 2264, 33609. This attribute gives you access to time-honored analog warmth and character at the flip of a switch.
The CP554, designed and constructed using traditional methods, offers an authentic analog experience, embodying the golden era of audio processing.
