Waves C6 Multiband Compressor

All the multiband compression and dynamic equalization you need to control, tame, and shape your sound.

What it is: 
A live sound and studio staple - the C4 compressor - expanded upon. 

How we use it: 
One-stop vocal and instrument shaping. 

Why it's cool: 
From vocals to instruments - live performance or in the studio - C6's versatility guarantees it a spot in your rig. For years, the C4 has been a favorite of studio engineers the world over, and in live sound, it’s quickly become a must-have for front-of-house and monitor professionals as well. To create the C6, we took the tried-and-true functions of the C4, and added two additional floating bands plus a sidechain feature, for one-stop vocal and instrument shaping. Equally at home in the studio, live, and in post production, the C6 lets you zero in on problem frequencies with surgical precision.

Perfect for de-essing and de-popping in the studio or onstage, the C6 gives you all the multiband compression and dynamic equalization you need to control, tame, and shape your sound.
