Quad Compressor / Limiter

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

The DN504 Plus Quad Compressor has enjoyed hugely increased popularity in recent years, due to the ever expanding use of in-ear monitor systems. This is because the unit can be configured into two stereo pairs, has all the superlative audio performance of the DN500 Plus, and fits two sets of stereo compression into just one rack space. This configuration also makes it extremely cost effective.
