Klark Teknik DN500PLUS Dual Compressor / Limiter Expander £798.84
Description
The DN500 Plus series utilises a ‘THAT’s’ chip which features lower distortion, improved dynamic range and faster slew rate.
The DN500 Plus is our dual compressor / limiter / expander which is characterised by its extremely quiet operation, typically >2dB quieter than any comparable product. This alone has made it a broadcast-industry standard for many years. The two channels are linkable for true stereo operation, and both the compressor and expander sections are fitted with their own sidechain inputs.

Features
- 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
