Spectra 1964 C610 Comp/Limiter
2.389,00 €*
The Spectra 1964 Model C610 Complimiter is a modern spin on the V610 Complimiter. While the V610 is a near-identical recreation of the classic Model 610 Complimenter by Spectra Sonics, the C610 offers updated features like higher bandwidth Cinemag transformers, external power supply, selectable input padding and more.
MODEL 610 COMPLIMITER
As its name implies, the C610 Complimiter can be used as a compressor or a peak limiter—either separately or simultaneously. Peak limiting mode lets you stealthily remove transient peaks. Mode 2 offers peak limiting with limited compression, which applies mild compression in addition to removing peaks. In compression-only mode, gain reduction is constantly applied for smooth, subtle gain reduction.
After it was originally released in 1969, the Model 610 Complimiter quickly earned a reputation as the fastest, quietest, and most versatile analog dynamics processor on the market. Now, over 50 years later, the Spectra 1964 Model C610 Complimiter delivers the same iconic tone and versatility with a number of major improvements.
C610 COMPLIMITER
The C610 utilizes the 601 compressor/limiter module, with a 101 Preamplifier for make-up gain. Ideal for tracking, bus processing, and mastering, the Spectra 1964 C610 Complimiter puts the limitless tone-shaping capabilities of the Model 610 Complimiter at your fingertips.
Featuring an updated design, the C610 offers lower distortion, less noise, and improved output levels. High resolution detented controls make dialing in the perfect tone quick and easy. The slope control can be used to dial in the compression ratio, while the release time allows you to dial in lighting-fast peak-limiting, soft and slow compression, or anything in between. The new C610 Complimiter also features a dedicated input pad for proper gain staging.
Spectra 1964 V610 Comp/Limiter

In 1969, Spectra unveiled the Model 610 Complimiter, a revolutionary audio compressor and limiter. At the heart of the Model 610 was the 601 Compressor/Limiter module. This module allowed users to employ The Model 610’s compressor and limiter circuitry independently or simultaneously. Its low noise floor, ultra-fast peak limiting and intelligent compression earned the 610 its status as a classic studio compressor that is used by some of the best-known engineers in the industry.
The Spectra 1964 Model V610 Complimiter can be considered an evolution of the original Model 610, utilizing the very same 601 module with updates to fit in 21st Century workflows that include tracking, mixing and mastering. With amplifier stages based around the low-noise 110A amplifier circuit, the V610 is capable of 65dB of gain and +24dBu, making it a deft mic preamp in addition to its Complimiter functions.
In mastering applications, the V610 has detented/switched controls for precise recall of all parameters. The ultra-fast, fixed-timing peak limiter circuit operates fully within a 180 nanosecond range, transparently eliminating voltage transients without applying compression and effectively increasing the headroom of any device placed after the V610 in the signal chain.
The compressor circuit has a fixed attack around 100 nanoseconds, and variable release timing from 50 milliseconds to 10 seconds with full bandwidth at ratios from 1.1:1 up to 100:1, making it capable of both extremely transparent compression and hard compression. For tracking and mixing, the V610 can be used to do anything from subtle, automatic gain control, to invisible peak limiting for safeguarding analog-to-digital converters, or to dial in aggressive, fast-release, compression to add color to your sonic palette.
Though the heart of the Model V610 was designed nearly 50 years ago, its brilliant design still has specifications that go unrivaled in today’s industry, proving Spectra Sonics founder William G. Dilley was decades ahead of his time. And now, a new generation of engineers is discovering the Spectra Sonics sound for themselves.
Spectra STX 100 MK2
999,00 €*
Spectra preamplifier modules have been used to record countless hit records across the decades, and helped to define the sound of American music from Memphis Soul, to Rock and Roll. Un-changed, and still un-matched, the Spectra sound is now available in a no compromise 500 series format.
Spectra STX 500
949,00 €*
Found in legendary studios like Stax, Ardent, the Record Plant and more, Spectra recording desks were used to record some of the most influential albums of all time. For over 40 years, the Spectra sound has made its way onto countless hit records, including John Lennon’s Imagine, Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run, Aerosmith’s Toys in the Attic and more.
Now you can bring your tracks to life with the same classic sound. Dial in thick kicks, beefy basses and powerful vocals with the tight, punchy low band. Or use the high band to add brilliance and shimmer to acoustic instruments like drums, guitars and vocals.
The STX 500 is the rebirth of the Model 500 2-band passive equalizer. The STX 500 has four frequency selections per band and up to 12dB of boost/cut in 2dB increments. This passive EQ becomes the active feedback element of the STX 100 amplifier. Combined with the STX 100 there is zero insertion loss and introduces virtually zero distortion or phase shift when boosting or cutting.
Each band also features an individual bypass. High frequency centers are 2.5KHz, 5KHz, 10KHz, and 15Khz. Low frequency centers are 50Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, and 300Hz. Perfect curves evoke the feeling of classic recordings with every knob turn.
PLEASE NOTE: The STX 500 is designed to connect directly to the STX 100 preamp. The STX 500 has no VPR edge connector of its own to plug into an API-style rack. Therefore it cannot be used in a standalone configuration.
