SPL Audio announces Venos Stereo Bus Compressor

The Venos stereo bus compressor is based on the same design as many legendary vintage tube compressors, but expands this impressive sonic signature with modern features such as our proprietary 120V technology and two revolutionary hyper-compression modes. All parameters on Venos are set using switches or detented potentiometers – a single control element manages both, the left and right channel. All parameters have been fine-tuned in countless listening sessions to make the compressor intuitive to use and to add size, depth and impact to every stereo signal, as soon as Venos is turned on.

The News
The Venos stereo bus compressor is basically a variable bias tube compressor. Venos works on the principle of a bias-controlled remote cutoff tube, but expands the sonic versatility of this concept with
the new hyper-compression modes “Focus” and “Punch”.

SPL Venos – All about Venos
We love all our products – but this release is a very special one for us. Our goal was to create the perfect all analog 120V technology stereo bus compressor – we were fast with the initial design but it took us so long to fine tune all the parameters to make the Venos exactly the way we imagine the perfect bus comp. It should be easy to use and huge in sound. After all this adjusting of little parameters we had the idea to add two new modes based on compression with negative ratio. Keep in mind we have a variable bias comp here with no fixed ratio. The results are the Focus and Punch modes – we call it hyper-compression modes. Be aware, it is something you never experienced before.

Great Sound in a blink
Once the ideal input level is dialed in, comparing different parameter settings works like a charm. The parameters have been fine-tuned in countless listening sessions to make the compressor intuitive to use. All parameters are set using switches or detented potentiometers. A single control element manages both, the left and right channel, allowing for easy recall!
