The BC1-THD provides smooth bus compression that applies for both mixing and tracking.
Engineers call it “The Magic Glue” when the BC1-THD’s transparent compression strengthens mixes without compromising clarity.
The built-in blend control makes it easy to apply parallel compression by adjusting the blend of dry and compressed signal. A switchable sidechain filter can be applied which makes the BC1-THD less responsive to low frequency energy. The THD function adds more harmonics to the signal and the “grab” mode selects a harder threshold knee on all four ratio settings. Smooth and transparent compression will never go out of fashion.

TK Audio’s best-selling 500-series module, the BC501, is a stereo bus compressor that features all the power of TK’s flagship BC1-S. The new BC501 adds some more functions taken from the BC2-ME mastering compressor, such as additional ratio settings (1.25:1, 6:1), a THD switch that adds more even harmonics to the signal, and three HPF settings from which to choose (80Hz, 150Hz, 220Hz). All controls are stepped for easy, precise recall. A dedicated Dry/Comp knob allows blending between the original and compressed signals, and an external sidechain input (accessible via stereo 1/8″ mini TRS jack) is also provided.

The M/S Station is a new mastering and main bus tool with four separate functions divided into two sections including an advanced cue function.
Section 1 is a parallel insert with M/S function allowing the user to use separate blend controls for the mid and side signals. For maximum precision the blend control(s) has 16 positions from dry to wet.Section 2 consists of three parts, an elliptical EQ with 16 frequencies, a width control from 0-200% and an advanced cue function.The two sections are normally linked internally but can be used separately with their own balanced inputs and outputs by removing four jumpers inside the unit (see unlink section 1 and 2). This way you can use them at different locations in your setup.
Section 1Parallel insert with M/S function: With the insert section you can insert an external processor like an EQ, compressor, distortion unit etc, and then dial in a mix between the processed signal (wet) and the unprocessed signal (dry). For maximum precision the blend control has 16 steps from dry to wet. If you activate the M/S function your signal will be coded into mid ( L+R ) and side ( L-R ). The mid signal normally contains all the center info such as bass, kick drum, lead vocal etc and the side signal contains all the panned parts of the signal. In M/S you can process the center signal and side signal separately with different types of processors. With the blend split function you get separate blend controls for the mid and side signal. In M/S mode the blend function takes place before the signal is decoded back to left/right. With the insert cue function you can monitor the L or R signal after the blend control separately, mid or side if M/S is active.
Section 2Elliptical Equalizer: With the elliptical EQ all frequencies below a selected frequency will be made to mono. This function can make your low end more focused. It’s an old technique used when mastering for vinyl. Too much low end in the side channel (vertical) can make the needle bounce slightly and cause distortion. By using a 12dB high pass filter in the side channel you set the frequency under which the signal will be processed as mono. As a HPF introduces phase shift to the signal, a phase correction is added to the mid channel keeping channel separation as good as possible. The EEQ has 16 frequencies from 36Hz to 302Hz. With the EEQ cue function you can monitor the signals that are mixed between the channels.
Stereo width control: By adjusting the amount of side information in the stereo mix, the width can be adjusted incrementally from mono to extra wide. With this control you can fine adjust the stereo image after you have used the M/S insert and EEQ.Cue function: With the cue function you can monitor the left, right, mid or side signal separately. By pressing the cue sections Insert switch you can cue the parallel inserts return signal by pressing L or R. (this can be done even if you run the two sections separately at different locations in your chain) If you select the EEQ switch on the cue section you can monitor the low frequencies fed from left to right or right to left. The cue section is a passive design using relays to select the cue source.Unlink section 1 and 2: If you like to use the two sections at different locations in your chain you can unlink them by removing the four jumpers inside the unit (see picture in the manual). You can then use them separately with their own balanced inputs and outputs. The two sections are linked as default.

Overview
SP502 is a new single slot 500-series preamp with a unique hybrid design including both vintage and modern circuits.
A new transformerless input stage forms a clean and transparent front-end, together with the two selectable output stages you can get the low mid punch and thick sound associated with British Class A from the early 70’s as well as a more modern clean tone from the 80’s and 90’s.
SP502 is also equipped with a saturation stage that can be selected to add some extra harmonics to the signal. The sweepable HPF from 30Hz to 400Hz allows precision crafting of the low end.
A new function is that the instrument input can be routed directly to the output stage without passing the preamp stage (the saturation circuit and HPF can still be inserted). The DI direct mode together with the vintage Class A stage gives you a very nice discrete sound path for bass recording.
Features:
Gain switch in 5dB steps: -15 to -70dB. +15dB to -40 with -30dB pad selected

Two ratio ranges, 1:1 to 20:1 or 1:1 to 2:1.
Five RMS settings, fast to slow and an adaptive mode.

Feed-forward mode.
The T-Komp has a unique design which offers a modern take on the old vari-mu ratio curve. The ratio is level dependent and increases with the signal level, a feature that will give you numerous possibilities.
To make the T-Komp 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 more narrow range which makes it more suitable for bus 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.
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
Features:ThresholdMake-up gain: 0 to +20dBBlend control: from dry to wet
Average timing:
1mS / 40mS (most useful for peak limiting)
5mS / 200mS
10mS / 400mS
25mS / 1000mS (similare to the old 160vu)
Adaptive mode
The attack and release are locked in relationship to each other.
