Since the it was released in 2015 it has found its way into a great numbers of 500 racks all around the globe. The BC501 is one of the most transparent stereo bus compressors ever made. The smooth, soft compression together with the blend control, high-pass filter and the THD function are much appreciated features that now have been expanded with the grab function, known from the BC1-THD. The grab function turns the threshold knee harder and makes the compressor even more perfect for the drum-bus. The BC501 is available in two versions, the BC501-GR with the standard stock black panel and the BC501-Ltd with silver panel, individually numbered and limited edition of 100 units.

BC501 version history
BC501. Released April 2015
BC501-GR / BC501-Ltd. Grab function added and a individually numbered limited version released. (released April 2021)
I’ve needed the exact piece for years! I thought The Transceiver I was perfect until I got the Transceiver 2!
The Blend knob is incredibly useful when using stomp box compressors and distortion pedals.
The M/S Station unlocks the full potential of my vintage TAB W395a EQs for mastering. Being able to use these in mid/side and blended in to taste is fantastic! As if that wasn’t enough, the elliptical EQ section sounds great, and the stereo width control is handy if adjustments are needed after the previous M/S processing
I’ve been using TK Audio’s mic pres and compressors for years on every recording I’ve made. The new DP3 will be no exception.
