TK Audio T-Komp Manual

T-Komp
Dual Mono Compressor
Congratulations on buying the T-Komp. 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 it as useful as possible the T-Komp has two ratio ranges. The first one goes up to
20:1, perfect for instrument tracking and smashing drums etc. The second one is a more
narrow range which makes it more suitable for bus compression.
The T-Komp can be selected between feed-forward mode for a punchy, modern response or
feed-back mode with a smoother, more musical response.
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.
It is also equipped with a blend control for parallel compression, a HPF-filter to make it less
sensitive to low frequency energy like bass and kick drum, and for stereo use there is a link
switch.
All controls are stepped for 100% repeatability.
