The 535 translates the soul of Rupert Neve's 2254 compressor into a 500 module ready for modern studios. Derived from the dynamic circuits of the famous "Shelford Channel," it combines the charismatic diode bridge color with custom transformers and a Class A output stage, delivering musical density that effortlessly fits into any mix.
Ideal for tracking and mixing, the 535 excels on vocals, drums, bass, guitars, and buses. Its 150 Hz sidechain prevents pumping effects in the low spectrum, while the BLEND control enables quick parallel compression without external routing. The link function allows two modules to be paired for coherent stereo or bus processing.
Compared to historic diode bridge compressors, the 535 offers a lower noise floor, detented controls on all essential functions (threshold, ratio, gain) for perfect recall, and expanded timing control via a 6-position switch complemented by FAST mode. The transformer-coupled signal path and Class A output amplifier ensure musical and controlled harmonic saturation.
The integrated BLEND knob opens the door to modern textures, from subtle "New York compression" to more pronounced effects, without losing transient definition. The 8-segment LED display clearly shows gain reduction and level for quick and repeatable settings.
