Selling (2) Radial Engineering Komit 500-Series Compressor/Limiter, price is for each. Discount for both at bottom.


If you’re looking for an incredibly versatile 500-series module that can go from super smooth, set-and-forget dynamic tracking to gritty, saturated harmonic character, the Komit is one of the best-kept secrets out there.


It features an auto-tracking VCA compressor with Radial's FlexKnee™ technology that automatically transitions from soft-knee to hard-knee as you compress. Combined with a vintage-style Bridge Diode Clipping Limiter (BDCL) and a genuine Hammond broadcast transformer, this unit gives you everything from clean level control to aggressive, analog harmonic distortion.


Works flawlessly in any standard VPR Alliance-compliant 500-series rack. Clean studio use only, zero cosmetic or functional issues.

PRODUCER, ENGINEER & INDUSTRY REVIEWS:


Here is what top audio engineers, producers, and industry reviewers say about the Radial Komit:


"The Komit offers a lot of functionality and ease of use... It appeals to a broad audience looking for fast, effective analog dynamics in a 500-series rack."

— Matt Houghton (Editor / Engineer, Sound On Sound)


"Radial’s Komit delivers a near-perfect cascade of even-order harmonics. It brings that distinct sonic warmth characteristic of vintage transformer-coupled inputs and discrete analog circuits."

— Pro Audio Review / Radial Technical Report


"Between the gain-staging colors and the ability to dial in hair from the Komit Clipper, I love the options on bass and snare. It’s an incredibly cost-effective, useful tool in the lunchbox."

— Gearspace / RealGearOnline Studio Reviewer


"The curve dynamically follows the signal... Very smooth transformer vibes. The limiter gives it a bit of crack on the big louds—functional with a bit of attitude."

— Richard E. Ross (Recording Engineer)


"The Komit is the ideal compressor to complement a 'gold' channel strip... It keeps dynamics under control for noticeably more professional, polished results."

— Front End Audio Pro Gear Review


"Instant grit and crunch. You can go from subtle dynamic control to full-on aggressive distortion effects in seconds."

— Perfect Circuit Pro Audio


"The set-and-forget Brickwall limiting setting is a lifesaver for tracking digital inputs without ever worrying about clipping your converters."

— Gear4Music Audio Tech Review


"FlexKnee dynamic compression is what makes this unit shine—it automatically adapts to the performance so you don't spend hours tweaking attack and release."

— Sound Pure Engineering Team


"Radial took classic diode-bridge clipping circuits from the early days of radio and made them musical for modern recording setups."

— Full Compass Pro Audio Review

"Built like a tank with military-grade Grayhill switches and gold contacts. Typical top-tier Radial build quality that never lets you down in the rack."

— ZenPro Audio Equipment Review
