Klark Teknik DN500 Plus – No Longer Available

The Klark Teknik DN500 Plus series utilises a ‘THAT’s’ chip which features lower distortion, improved dynamic range and faster slew rate.

The DN500 Plus is our dual compressor / limiter / expander which is characterised by its extremely quiet operation, typically >2dB quieter than any comparable product. This alone has made it a broadcast-industry standard for many years. The two channels are linkable for true stereo operation, and both the compressor and expander sections are fitted with their own sidechain inputs.

Features:

• Two channels of full function compression, expansion, limiting and peak clipping in one unit of rack space
• Variable knee control for compression styles from hard to easy
• Auto attack/release mode for inaudible compression and easy set-up
• Manual attack/release mode for creating compression effects
• Advanced VCA design for extremely low noise and distortion
• Flexible expander section features variable ratio for gentle expansion or hard gating
• Separate side chain inputs are provided for compressor and expander sections
• A peak limiter with variable threshold and programme related release provides additional protection
• Peak clipper eliminates transient overload and tracks limiter threshold for total protection
• Additional features include stereo link function, gain reduction meters for both compressor/expander sections and output level meter
