GC Audio Density Compressor

Great care has been taken in the choice of capacitors. Each coupling and decoupling link is optimized for an impulse response. The low values ​​are ensured by Wima plastics and the higher values ​​by Nichicon Long Life low ESR electrolytic.

The output balancing stage consists of a Lundhal high level Output transformer preceded by a solid low output impedance current generator stage.
The few uH generated naturally by the output coil of the transformer brings density and a feeling of proximity.
No sound goes through the front panel switches, each switch drives gold contact mechanical relays or ultra low R-On solid state relays.
The result is a responsive, quiet compressor with lots of character.
