What is a Compressor?

The primary function of a compressor is to make every note the same volume level; making softer sounds louder and boosting low level signals levels that often get lost in the mix. The resulting compressed signal creates a much more dense, impactful sound, with richness and room for your subtle nuances.

Ease of Use

You can dial in the right amount of compression using the dedicated Attack and Sustain dials. The Level control allows you to set the output to subtle, or engage a monster volume boost. Tone lets you add exactly the right level of highs. From clean and snappy country leads, to rock solos that scream for eons, the CS400 is built to make your sound the center of attention. The bright LED tells you when the CS400 is on, and the top-quality on/off switch maintains outstanding signal integrity in bypass mode. You can power this scene-stealer with either a 9V battery or Behringer's PSU-SB DC power supply (not included).
