Product Description

Vintage API 525C compressor/limiter. Thick and gluey sounding. Features include a de-esser and these adjustable settings:

  • In
  • Out
  • Threshold
  • Ceiling
  • Attack
  • Release


  • Along with all the typical uses of a compressor/limiter, the 525C is one of the best bass compressors on the planet. Excellent for long extended bass release times, (comparable to the infamous DBX 160vu).
