SPL Venos

Stereo Bus Compressor

Adding size, depth and impact to a stereo signal has never been easier. The Venos stereo bus compressor is based on the same design as many legendary vintage tube compressors. Venos expands this impressive sonic signature with two revolutionary hyper-compression modes, opening up new dimensions of sound.

With SPL 120V technology this sound is crowned to king of dynamics. 

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”.

Great Sound in a blink

Once the ideal input level is dialed in, comparing diff erent parameter settings works like a charm. The parameters have been fi ne-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!
