Description

The DNE brings the acclaimed compression circuitry of the D.W. Fearn VT-7 and Hazelrigg VNE into the 500 Series format, offering a fast, musical, and highly responsive Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) compressor that's ideal for both tracking and mix duties. Designed for intuitive use, the DNE simplifies control with clearly defined attack and release switches, a threshold knob, and makeup gain-making it easy to achieve tight, transparent dynamics or bold, character-rich compression.

Built with transformers on both input and output stages and a low-THD, high-gain solid-state signal path, the DNE delivers professional-grade fidelity and warmth. Its LED gain reduction meter, high-pass filter switch, and link function for stereo operation add flexibility and control, while a bypass switch ensures easy A/B comparison. With its VT-7 lineage, rugged construction, and streamlined interface, the DNE is a powerful dynamics tool that brings modern reliability and vintage tone to your 500 Series rack.

Features

VT-7-Inspired Compression: Shares the core PWM compression circuit from the acclaimed D.W. Fearn VT-7 and Hazelrigg VNE.

Fast, Musical Dynamics Control

Streamlined attack and release switches (Fast/Slow) make setup intuitive and efficient.

Transformer-Balanced I/O: Input and output transformers deliver analog warmth and solid imaging.

High-Pass Filter Switch: Helps reduce unwanted pumping from low-frequency-heavy signals like kick or bass.

Stereo Link Ready: Linkable with a second DNE in compatible 500 series racks for stereo bus compression.

Clear Visual Feedback: LED gain reduction meter and output indicator for real-time level monitoring.

Makeup Gain Control: Restore output level after compression for consistent mix balance.

Bypass Switch: Instantly compare processed and unprocessed signal.

Simplified, Musical Interface: Designed for fast operation in both live and studio workflows.
