You'll Be Glad This Compressor is in Your Rack

The JDK V12 500 Series compressor is a top-notch addition to your 500 Series rack. Packing JDK's patented Thrust circuit, you can tame dynamics while maintaining the high-frequency content that can be lost when you're really crushing your signals. It'll add some serious girth to any signal, but back off a bit and you'll get clean and smooth compression. Switchable hard/soft knee modes expand the V12's flexibility. And because two of them can be stereo linked, get two and add powerful-sounding bus compression to your 500 Series rack with the JDK V12 compressor.

JDK V12 500 Series Compressor Module at a Glance:

• Patented Thrust circuit maintains your signal's integrity
  
• Straightforward compression, with enough flexibility to be a studio workhorse
  
• Built to last

Patented Thrust circuit maintains your signal's integrity
The Thrust control on the JDK V12 keeps the high-frequency content of your signal alive, even during heavy compression. Hey, sometimes you only get the right vibe out of a track when it's hitting your compressor extremely hard, but that can also start shaving off your high-end tone. Switch the Thrust control on, and you can crush your snare drum without losing presence and impact.

Straightforward compression, with enough flexibility to be a studio workhorse
You'll dial in the JDK V12 compressor with just threshold, ratio, and make-up gain controls - you can get a great sound out of it in your sleep. But thanks to hard/soft knee modes, and stereo-linkable operation (buy two!), you've got enough flexibility with the V12 compressor for it to be a serious contender for virtually any tracking or mixing task.

Built to last
Since the late '60s, API (Automated Processes, Inc.) has built some of the most reliable - and fantastic sounding - audio gear for professional use. Over the years, API engineers occasionally came up with ideas that just didn't fit in directly with the rest of the API line, and thus JDK was created. JDK gear is developed and engineered by API, with a sonic character all its own. Even if you're a mobile engineer that puts your gear at risk daily, you can count on the robust design of the JDK V12 compressor module.

JDK V12 500 Series Single-channel Compressor Module Features:

• High-quality single-channel compressor module for 500 Series chassis
  
• Conforms to API's 500 Series format, and is a member of API's VPR Alliance
  
• Switchable hard/soft knee compression adds sonic flexibility
  
• Simple control set means you can dial in a great sound fast
  
• Two can be linked for stereo operation with true RMS power summing
