Neve ® 33609/SE
BUSS COMPRESSOR PLUG-IN
Exclusively for: Stereo/Mono Compressor Plug-In With Separate Limiter & Compression Sections.
Derived from the original Neve 2254 compressor, circa 1969, the 33609 stereo bus compressor/limiter
utilizes a bridged-diode gain reduction circuit and many custom transformers. The
uniquely musical character of this circuit has made the 33609 a studio standard since its
release. The UAD Neve 33609 is the only Neve-sanctioned software recreation of the Neve
33609 (rev C). Every detail of the original unit is captured, and matches its hardware counterpart with absolute
precision. The 33609 plug-in includes a DSP-optimized 33609SE which allows for higher instance counts.
