Warm Audio - 'BUS-COMP'
2 Channel VCA Bus Compressor

Introducing The Warm Audio BUS-COMPThe Warm Audio BUS-COMP is an all-analogue, 2 channel, stereo VCA bus compressor designed around classic circuitry that has provided warm and smooth tone for many years. Stereo VCA bus compressors are the best at controlling dynamics on many sources, but have now become well known known for their magic addition to stereo mixes.
The BUS-COMP performs well on stereo mixes, drum mixes, drum overheads, acoustic guitars, keyboards, piano, orchestral instruments, voice-overs and a wide range of other sources. The BUS-COMP is originally designed for stereo use, but it can also be used just as successfully on individual mono sources.
VCA bus compressors of this type are now widely respected for their ability to control dynamics easily but also for the added tone and depth they give to the audio signal that passes through them, even when no compression is added.

A Look Inside

Premium ComponentsRe-creating iconic VCA bus compressor technology was the main priority of the BUS-COMP’s design, although adding options and improvements was just as important to us during its creative process. One stand out feature is the BUS-COMP’s ability to have USA made CineMag transformers inserted into the signal path driven by fully discrete operational amplifiers. With just one push of a front panel switch, these custom USA made transformers are inserted into the audio’s path offering increased depth and tonal values.
Just like all Warm Audio products, the BUS-COMP was made with a price point in mind. With efficient, modern manufacturing techniques they have created a boutique quality, classic VCA bus compressor to the market at a quality-to-price ratio previously unseen. More studios than ever before will now have access to analogue quality VCA bus compression. In hope that all musicians get to be heard the way they want to be heard, the BUS-COMP is the perfect tool to perfect any mix!
