Characterful Compression Doesn't Get Any Better
If you have an overly bright vocal, a bass you want to fatten up, or a mix you need to pump up, Sweetwater has your prescription: the BAE 10DCF Compressor/Limiter. The 10DCF's forte is not transparency. A pair of these puppies transforms iron-poor mixes into radio-ready juggernauts — rich, round, fat, and punchy. For rock music, characterful compression doesn't get any better. Done up in classic RAF blue-gray livery, the 10DCF is sonically reminiscent of the coveted 2254 compressor module that graced Neve's legendary 80 series consoles of the 1970s.

Unrivaled dynamics-control versatility
The 10DCF's independent compressor and limiter sections give you tremendous dynamics-control versatility, while the onboard bypass filter (the inductor-based highpass filter from BAE's 1073 rackmount unit) lets you customize its response by selecting the low frequencies you might not want to compress — particularly useful for bass and drum applications. Like all BAE gear, the 10DCF features pure Class A transformer-coupled circuitry and weapons-grade build quality with mil-spec stepped Elma switches for accuracy and repeatability. Do your music a huge favor: run it through the BAE 10DCF. Trust us — you'll never look back.
