By setting the Make-Up control to AUTO, you can adjust the compression levels to extreme settings without affecting the output level.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eChoose between Old or New styles of compression. “Old” provides a smoother sound using feedback style compression, “New” provides a modern “in your face” sound utilizing feedforward style compression circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTake shape of your compression with three different Knee types and Thrust controls. Adjusting the knee will range the compression from smooth to aggressive, the Thrust switch will activate the frequency dependent side chain control.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e10 segment LEDs show proper levels for input, output and gain reduction. Switch between monitoring the input or output levels with the METER button. Engaging the OUT switch will activate a True Bypass and remove the 529 from the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"API Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450227093607,"sku":"97506","price":2495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/api-529_97506_1.jpg?v=1787092213","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/api-529-stereo-compressor-500-series","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
