For mixing and mastering alike, reinforce your sound with the spirit of analog dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"thegoldstandardcompressor\"\u003eTHE GOLD STANDARD COMPRESSOR\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eListen to any chart-topping hit, award-winning soundtrack, or seminal album from the past 40 years, and it’s likely that you’ll be hearing the signature transient wizardry of the Neve® 33609. From Daft Punk to Coldplay, James Newton Howard to Michael Buble, this dual-channel compressor and limiter has been the dynamic backbone of studio recordings for almost half a century. Its unmistakably creamy response, simple design, and huge sonic flexibility has cemented its reputation as the gold standard - modern music simply wouldn’t be the same without it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"thedynamicallrounder\"\u003eTHE DYNAMIC ALL-ROUNDER\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eComp DIODE-609 transcends the terms ‘compressor’ and ‘limiter’ to offer go-to dynamic enhancement, whatever the occasion; delicate, smashed, or pumping, it’ll deliver the dynamic goods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"engineeredtoperfectionagain\"\u003eENGINEERED TO PERFECTION AGAIN\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBehind Comp DIODE-609’s authentically simple interface is a wealth of groundbreaking engineering, extensive analysis, and detailed modeling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe end result is a professional, intuitive effect that efficiently enforces the laws of mix dynamics, working sonic wonders with the smallest of tweaks - retrofitted with razor-sharp contemporary features to suit every modern production need.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom protective mix gluing to maximizing drum bus punchiness, this unique diode-bridge effect stands out from the compressor crowd as a workhorse processor for any audio application - and Comp DIODE-609 brings it into the virtual production realm like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"somethingsarejustbuiltrightthefirsttime\"\u003eSOME THINGS ARE JUST BUILT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Neve® 33609 was originally designed in the ‘80s. Since then, it’s seen a number of model variations, but the core design - and, crucially, the iconic sound - has remained the same. Truly a studio classic that has stood the test of time, and not just in its industry-wide usage; it remains in production by AMS Neve® to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut the 33609 didn’t just stand the test of time - it set the bar. Michael Brauer, Paul Epworth, Josh Homme, Nile Rodgers - the list of genre-defining veteran producers who swear by its dynamic talents is never-ending.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo what’s the secret? Derived from modules found in the almost-mythical Neve consoles from the ‘70s, the 33609 is a rack unit that offers 2 channels of compression and limiting. It’s renowned for its simultaneous buttery response and transparency of signal, courtesy of its diode-bridge topology - offering a faster response, and more refined distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis unique response was also the result of the use of first-class components. Some of Rupert Neve’s own early consoles featured transformers from Marinair, a UK-based manufacturer of radar equipment. Decades later, these transformers were carried over into the production of the 33609 - ensuring that a part of Neve®’s own sonic legacy lives on in these relatively modern units.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo capture this magic for Comp DIODE-609, we modeled one of the revered 33609 ‘C’ versions, an earlier fully-discrete model. Faithfully emulated down to the behavior of individual components, and boldly expanded to cater to modern production needs, Comp DIODE-609 tells an extraordinarystory of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"systemrequirements\"\u003eSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eVST, AAX, Audio Unit, NKS (64-bit DAWs only)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWorks with ASC: Arturia's simple solution to help you install, activate, and update your Arturia software\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWindows\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWin 8.1+ (64bit)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e4 GB RAM\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e4 cores CPU, 3.4 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo-boost)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e3GB free hard disk space\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOpenGL 2.0 compatible GPU\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMac\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMac OS 10.13+\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e4 GB RAM\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e4 cores CPU, 3.4 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo-boost) or M1 CPU\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2GB free hard disk space\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOpenGL 2.0 compatible GPU\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Arturia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450834677863,"sku":"170851","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/arturia-diode_170851_1_4020cf08-33c9-4f5b-b74d-084a5e56ee14.jpg?v=1787094722","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/arturia-comp-diode-609","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
