KIT Plugins and Blackbird Studio release BBN54 Compressor/Limiter Plugin

KIT Plugins and Blackbird Studio Release An Inspired Emulation of Rupert Neve’s Iconic Compressor/Limiter

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Dec. 16, 2024) - KIT Plugins and Blackbird Studio release the BB N54, inspired by Rupert Neve’s iconic late-‘60s compressor/limiter, today. Designed to capture the unmistakable low-end weight and harmonic richness of the original hardware and tailored to Blackbird Studio Owner John McBride’s personal taste, the BB N54 brings a powerful, analog-style warmth and cohesion to vocals, drums, bass, and mix buses. Whether you're looking to smooth out dynamics or add a touch of vintage analog glue, the BB N54 delivers classic, timeless sound with modern precision.

Originally designed by Rupert Neve in the late 1960s, the 2254 has become a cornerstone of classic analog sound, renowned for its signature warmth, harmonic richness, and seamless dynamic control. Its distinctive character is driven by an all-discrete Class A design, featuring a diode bridge gain reduction circuit and legendary Marinair transformers. Over the years, the 2254 has played an integral role in shaping the sound of countless iconic records.

KIT’s BB N54 Is Available Today

“The perfect replica of the legendary Neve 2254. I've used it on everything, and it always delivers stunning results!” - Matthew Sim, GRAMMY-nominated Mixer/Producer (Illenium, The Chainsmokers, Jackson Wang)

"The KIT BB N54 has a gorgeous depth and character to it! It's a very musical compressor that takes little time and effort to get a fantastic sound. I love how it works on orchestral strings, low percussion, bass, and choir." - Ryan Sanchez, Film/TV/Video Game Score Mixer (Percy Jackson and The Olympians, The Walking Dead, Outlander)

"The BB N54 is just amazing at bringing life and sustain to drums, but retaining the transient information. This plugin is so colourful and unique, I’ve never used anything quite like it” - Sam Loose, Audio Engineer (Vanilla Pod, Smokescreen, Tommy Loose)
