KT Bus Compressor
Based on the distinguished master buss center compressor of the 4000 G console, the KT Buss Compressor captures the unique sound of the original’s circuit input and
twin VCA gain-reduction amplier design. Cherished by top engineers for its ability to “glue together” tracks, the KT Bus compressor is ideal for gluing IEM mixes or a
master bus mix together.
TIP- Try the KT Bus Comp on an IEM mix with the attack set to 1 (to allow transients through), release set to Auto, Ratio at 2.1, HPF at 125 Hz and 100% Mix. Adjust the
threshold until around 4 dB of gain reduction takes place. This will glue an IEM mix together making it sound more controlled while still allowing low end energy to
pass into the mix preventing the pumping eect.
Item Control Function
1 Threshold control The threshold determines when the compressor starts to compress the signal.
2 Make Up Gain control Adds gain to compensate for the gain reduction.
3 Attack control
By slowing the attack rate, the compressor gradually comes to full compression, instead of
compressing immediately. Transient response is less aected, so maintaining the presence of each
note.
4 Release control
By slowing the release rate, the compressor recovers more slowly from compression, so it does not
turn o completely when the signal returns below the threshold. The Auto release characteristic for
G Bus Compressor has an exceptional quality that is optimized for full mixes.
5 Ratio control
The ratio control determines how much compression is applied to the signal. Ratios available are 2:1,
4:1, and 10:1.
6 HPF control
HPF frequency setting for sidechain lter. Anti-clockwise turns of the sidechains HPF lter. The
sidechain HPF allows removal of low-frequency content from the control sidechain, reducing
excessive gain reduction on bass-heavy audio signal’s without reducing bass content of the audio
signal itself.
7 Gain Reduction meter Shows the amount of gain reduction to the signal.
8 Mix control
Dry/wet mix. Allows Parallel compression, a form of upward compression, is achieved by mixing an
unprocessed 'dry' signal with a heavily compressed version of the same signal.
9 IN button On/O control for the compressor.
