Product Description
The GC Audio Density Compressor is a top - notch VCA compressor. It offers superb audio processing with unique character and high precision. Using Lundhal transformers in its balancing stage, it provides great common - mode rejection and low distortion. The carefully chosen capacitors improve impulse response, and the advanced circuitry guarantees optimal VCA operation for professional - level audio dynamics.
This compressor is designed for flexibility. It has extensive controls, like a wide range of threshold, attack, and release settings. There's also a high - pass filter in the side chain to control low - frequency content. With its strong build and advanced features, it's ideal for studio pros who need reliable performance and great tonal quality.
The output stage with a Lundhal transformer gives the sound a natural density and proximity, adding warmth and richness. All front - panel switches use gold - contact mechanical or ultra - low R - On solid - state relays, ensuring durability and low noise. This innovative design combines responsiveness and quiet operation, making it a great choice for demanding audio environments.

### What’s Included
- GC Audio Density Compressor unit
- User manual
Using the GC Audio Density Compressor is quite straightforward. First, connect it to your audio system as per the user manual. Adjust the threshold, ratio, attack, and release settings according to your audio needs. For example, if you want to quickly control sudden loud sounds, set a shorter attack time. The high - pass filter in the side chain can be adjusted to reduce the impact of low - frequency noise. You can adjust it from 20 Hz to 200 Hz to get the best result.
When using, keep it in a dry and well - ventilated place to avoid overheating. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Also, be gentle when operating the front - panel switches to ensure the durability of the gold - contact mechanical or solid - state relays.
For maintenance, clean the exterior regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If there are any issues with the compressor, refer to the user manual first. If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer's customer service for further assistance.
