Manufacturer's Description from TK Audio

Engineers call it “The Magic Glue” when the BC1-THD’s transparent compression strengthens mixes without compromising clarity.

The BC1-THD provides smooth bus compression that applies for both mixing and tracking. The built-in blend control makes it easy to apply parallel compression by adjusting the blend of dry and compressed signal. A switchable sidechain filter can be applied which makes the BC1-THD less responsive to low frequency energy. The THD function adds more harmonics to the signal and the “grab” mode selects a harder threshold knee on all four ratio settings. Smooth and transparent compression will never go out of fashion.

About Manufacturer

TK Audio is based in Halmstad, a small town in the southwest of Sweden. It started out in 2008 as an additional brand to Vintagedesign as we wanted to develop products with a bit more modern style. Thomas Kristiansson (or TK as his friends call him) is the mastermind behind both Vintagedesign and TK Audio and he has been working with electronics, cords and sounds in different kinds of professions his entire career.
Our philosophy is to produce creative audio solutions and assemble them in Sweden.
We buy the chassis from a local manufacturer and the main part of the panels is also produced nearby. Up until just recently we have assembled and soldered the circuit boards by ourselves but as the demand for our products has increased we can´t keep up so now we also use another company to help us out. They are situated just a 2 hour drive from Halmstad so we can still proudly say that our products are hand made in Sweden. We take responsibility for keeping our production as environmental friendly as possible and by having full control over the production and of course making all the final assembling by ourselves we can make sure that the quality always is top notch!
