Rockruepel Comp.Two v2 Mastering Bus Compressor - On Request

The Rockruepel Comp.Two v2 Mastering Bus Compressor provides some of the cleanest tube compression in the industry, as well as amazing overdrive tube processing. This unit is an all-valve variable-mu design, built on fully-balanced tube-circuitry.

The main audio path consists of SOWTER input- and output transformers (SOWTER), two high-end coupling capacitors, input- and output-tubes (NOS 6N3 and 6CG7). The Comp.Two v2 can be used as a tone shaper during tracking, it serves as a versatile mixing tool, and it also delivers great results in a mastering chain. Even amongst the high-end competition, this degree of flexibility stands out.

True dual mono-design

The true dual mono-design has separate power supplies for every channel. The potentiometers are encapsulated, quality products from ALPS. The VU-meters can be calibrated with a trim-pot hidden behind small holes in the rugged front plate. All switches use relays or directly determine control voltage. The two bypass-switches separate circuitry, so that only input directly connects with the output (true bypass). An IC is used to regulate the VU-Meter. Apart from that circuitry, the Comp.Two v2 consist of discrete components and is hand wired in Germany.

Gain the high ground

In addition to the essential controls such as input, output, threshold, attack and release, the Comp.Two v2 provides a side chain with an integrated four-stage filter. (Flat, 50, 74, 110 and 160 Hz). This filter takes out high-energy bass frequency that could otherwise affect the compressor’s behavior. The special “amp-only” -mode uses only the in- and output-stages and not the compression.

A big advantage of the unique ultra-fast attack and fast release times is that the Rockruepel Comp.Two v2 Mastering Bus Compressor allows you hone right in on the leading transient, compress it, and then let off fast enough not to affect the remainder of the waveform. So, it is a true mastering tool for precise compression duties where the goal might be to retain all of the available dynamic range.
