Description
DR-609
DR-609 is based on one of the legendary British Neve* compressors unit which is still used in top-level studios worldwide. It quickly became a “go to” unit for recording/mixing and mastering. You can push into this compressor and even when the unit is pushed to extreme settings, the compression action is very musical.

Unique Highlights
Magical Compression
Compression and musical character is so euphonic that even single tracks individually compressed, or simply passed through the unit will gain presence and character. Magic dust on your sound!
British sound
Sound character is not as aggressive as of many other popular compressors. Even when pushed to extreme, the compression is fairly gentle. If you are looking for ultimate “British sound” look no further!
