TK Audio BC1-THD

BC1-THD is a stereo bus compressor built for the kind of smooth, transparent control that helps a mix lock together without losing openness or detail. It delivers the classic “glue” effect engineers love, while adding a few smart extras that make it even more flexible in modern workflows.

The onboard blend control makes parallel compression fast and easy, the selectable sidechain filter helps keep low-end energy from over-triggering the compressor, and the THD mode introduces extra even-order harmonics for a slightly richer, more saturated tone. Engage Grab mode and the knee becomes firmer, giving the compressor a more assertive response when needed.

With stepped controls throughout, the BC1-THD is easy to recall and equally comfortable on the mix bus, drum bus, or during tracking.
