BAE 10DC Compressor/Limiter, Stereo Pair, Excellent Condition

Up for sale is a pair of BAE 10DC compressor/limiters, hand-built in California. They’re in excellent condition and fully working, with clean faceplates and all switches and meters functioning as they should.

The 10DC is BAE’s take on the classic British discrete compressor, and it’s often compared to the Neve 2254. It’s Class A, transformer-coupled, and all-discrete throughout. It has the thick, musical character you’d expect from that lineage, along with extra headroom suited to modern converter levels. As a pair, they can be stereo linked, which makes them great on the mix bus, on drum overheads, or on any stereo source. You can also run them as two independent mono channels for tracking vocals, bass, or snare.

Features:

• Discrete Class A, transformer-coupled signal path
• Independent compressor and limiter sections, usable separately or together
• Elma stepped switches on every control, so settings are precise and easy to recall
• Variable attack time, which is uncommon on this style of compressor
• Illuminated gain-reduction meter
• True hardware bypass, which passes audio even when the unit is powered off
• Stereo linkable
• Frequency response: 5 Hz to 45 kHz (−1 dB)
