BC1
Stereo buss compressor

BC1 has evolved from one of the most famous buss compressors from the mid 80's.  It uses the latest generations of VCA's  from That Corporation.This unit have some new features such as a blendfunction and the choice between dual or single sidechain-detectors.In the single mode the left and right signal are summed ahead of the detector instead of after. This means that the center of the stereosignal will be 6dB higher when it hits the thresholddetector. 
The blend control can be set anywhere between straight and compressed signal, a mute-switch is also provided so you can mute the straight signal while you are working with the compressor controls without changing the blend setting.
