Detail 01
TIMING control with six settings; FAST mode extends this to 12
Faster settings add more harmonic content, while slower settings provide more transparent compression.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Dual Diode Bridge Compressor brings diode-bridge dynamics control to a compact 1U, 19-inch rack unit. It works in dual mono or stereo, with custom transformers and Class-A electronics at the center of its harmonically rich, colored character. TIMING, ratio, threshold, gain, sidechain controls, linking, and parallel blend give engineers direct control over how assertively it responds. It is built for tracks, mixes, and masters, including vocals, electric guitars, bass, and drums.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Shaping vocals, electric guitars, bass, or drums to move forward in a mix.
- Working across tracks, mixes, and masters where blendable compression color is wanted.
- Running two channels in dual-mono or stereo operation inside a 1U rack.
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
BLEND control
Lets you mix heavily compressed signal with unaffected signal to retain dynamic range while adding color and punch.
Detail 03
S/C HPF, 12 dB/octave from 20 Hz to 250 Hz
Reduces the compressor’s reaction to strong, sustained low frequencies.
Detail 04
Always-active sidechain send and return
Allows an EQ to shape the detector response, or an external key signal to control ducking.
Detail 05
LINK control
Connects both channels’ control voltage so each channel reacts equally; this can help hold a solid stereo center image.
Detail 06
Six ratio positions, from 1.5:1 through 8:1
Sets the slope of the compression curve across a broad range.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can it run as two separate compressors or as a stereo unit?
Yes. It supports dual-mono and stereo operation. LINK connects the two channels’ control voltages for equal triggering.
02Can an external signal control its compression?
Yes. The sidechain return can accept a key signal, causing compression when that source rises above the threshold.
