BC501-GR

500- series Stereo Bus Compressor

www.tkaudio.se

Congratulations on buying one of the most transparent stereo bus compressors ever made,

it’s manufactured and assembled by hand in Sweden and thoroughly tested before leaving the

factory.

The BC501-GR provides smooth bus compression associated with one of the most famous bus

compressors from the mid 80’s. Mixing engineers call it the ”magic glue” when transparent

compression strengthens mixes without compromising clarity. The BC501-GR provides just that

kind of compression bringing cohesion and punch; equally useful for drum bus and instrument

compression.

A new grab function has been added to the new model which oers a harder threshold knee

and makes the compressor even more perfect for the drumbus. The built-in blend control ma-

kes it easy to apply parallel compression by adjusting the mix of dry and compressed signal. A

switchable side chain lter can be applied at 80Hz, 150Hz or 220Hz which makes the BC501-

GR less responsive to low frequency energy. The external side chain input makes it possible to

have the BC501-GR pump to an external source.

The BC501-GR will add the ”magic glue” and make your mixes sound punchy and coherent. All

controls are stepped for 100% repeatability.

THE PARAMETERS:

THRESHOLD: -20dB to +20dB in 41 steps. The threshold adjusts the level above where the

signal is reduced. A lower threshold means a larger portion of the signal will be treated. For

optimal results make sure that the input level is high enough.

MAKE-UP: 0 to +20dB of gain in 41 steps to balance the compressed signal level against the

input signal level.

BLEND: Straight to compressed sound in 21 steps. Turning the knob clock wise will mix the

original signal with the compressed signal. For more information please read the section

about parallel compression.

HPF: When engaged a gentle 6dB/octave high pass lter at 80Hz, 150Hz or 220Hz is

applied to the internal or external side chain signal, making the compression less responsive

to low frequency energy. Both 80Hz and 150Hz engaged gives 220Hz.

GRAB: Selects a harder threshold knee.

EXT SC: Engages the external side chain input through the 1/8” stereo jack. By using the

external side chain another signal can control the behavior of the compressor; most

commonly used by DJs for ducking / lowering the music volume automatically when speaking.

It’s also eectively used for ducking the bass track or background whenever the kick drum hits

by sending the kick track to the external sidechain input. For more information please read

the section about side chain compression.

RATIO: 1.25:1 / 1.5:1 / 2:1 / 4:1 / 6:1 / 10:1. The ratio determines the input/output ratio for

signals above the threshold. For example, a 4:1 ratio means that a signal overshooting the

threshold by 4 dB will leave the compressor 1 dB above the threshold. At the 1.5:1 and 2:1

setting a relatively subtle soft knee compression is applied. At 4:1, the compression becomes

more obvious, and at 10:1, the BC501 is basically a peak limiter.

ATTACK: 0.1 / 0.3 / 0.6 / 1 / 3 / 10 / 30 / 60 / 120mS.

The attack setting denes the time it takes for the compressor to decrease the gain and reach

the level determined by the ratio. Faster attack settings means better control of the transient

part of the sound, but if set too fast the compressor might cut away more transients than wan-

ted. A good starting point is 10ms.

RELEASE: 50 / 100 / 300 / 600ms / 1.2S / Auto. The release setting denes the time it takes

for the compressor to increase the gain to the level determined by the ratio, once the level has

fallen below the threshold. Higher release settings will result in a less intrusive compression

with lower distortion, but if set too high the compression might not be eective enough. A

good starting point is 100ms or Auto.

AUTO RELEASE: Makes the release function time dependent on the duration of the signal

peak. In practise it’s a re-and-forget setting that behaves the same way as a classic British

bus compressor used by many since the 80’s.

GAIN REDUCTION METER: The metering shows the average level (RMS) of the gain

reduction which diers from the peak level meters of most plug-ins - comparatively it’s slower

and in practise it means that a little goes a long way. The proper amount of compression on a

mix is usually done when the needle moves in the middle of 0 and 4. Higher ratio and faster

release settings will result in a more obvious compression/limiting that sometimes is too fast

for the needle to show. Always use your ears rst and just use the metering as a quick

reference.

IN: Engages and disengages the compressor. Should be used a lot to control how the

compressor is aecting the sound.
