Klark Teknik DN500PLUS Compressor

KLARK DN500PLUS Details ^top

Klark Teknik DN500 plus
• Two channels of full function compression, expansion, limiting and peak clipping in one unit of rack space.
• Variable knee control for compression styles from hard to easy.
• Auto attack/release mode for inaudible compression and easy set-up.
• Manual attack/release mode for creating compression effects.
• Advanced VCA design for extremely low noise and distortion.
• Flexible expander section features variable ratio for gentle expansion or hard gating.
• Separate side chain inputs are provided for compressor and expander sections.
• A peak limiter with variable threshold and programme related release provides additional protection.
• Peak clipper eliminates transient overload and tracks limiter threshold for total protection.
• Additional features include stereo link function, gain reduction meters for both compressor/expander sections and output level meter.
• The DN500 is sturdily constructed throughout and complies with standard 19” 1U rack mounting requirements.
