F600A Compressor 500 Series Compressor

Fredenstein F600A Compressor

Bring smooth, modern compression to your 500 Series rack with the F600A Compressor from Fredenstein, a unique compressor design sure to bring novel sounds to any studio. Rather than rehash the designs of legendary vintage gear, the F600A provides a unique design based around a pair of digitally controlled analog amplifiers which manage gain reduction and make-up gain with utmost precision. This professional grade compression offers incredible depth in achieving over 20dB of gain reduction with very little distortion, allowing you to push the limits without losing smoothness. Similarly, because of its high precision, the 600A links perfectly with other units, making an ideal component of any multichannel compression set-up.

Controls are simple and reliable, with a vintage-style VU meter adding visual feedback and inspired aesthetics for every session. Threshold and make-up gain controls are stacked in a dual potentiometer, as are release and attack times, with a wide range for all parameters giving you the flexibility you'd expect from a workhorse studio tool like the F600A. Buttons on the panel select between RMS, Peak, Hard-knee, and Soft-knee modes, while other buttons allow you to link the unit with a pair or bypass it entirely. A tunable high pass filter helps eliminate low end rumble that can get in the way of proper transient treatment, and the wide ratio control from 1:1 to 1:100 lets you take your sounds to the wall when you need it. If you're looking for a unique compressor that'll quickly become your go-to dynamics processor, look no further than the F600A from Fredenstein.
