Comp DIODE-609 is a re-engineered software emulation of the legendary Neve 33609 Diode Compressor and Limiter, famed for its warm, smooth, and versatile stereo response. For mixing and mastering alike, reinforce your sound with the spirit of analog dynamics.

The Neve 33609 was originally designed in the ‘80s. Since then, it’s seen a number of model variations, but the core design - and, crucially, the iconic sound - has remained the same. Truly a studio classic that has stood the test of time, and not just in its industry-wide usage; it remains in production by AMS Neve to this day. From Daft Punk to Coldplay, James Newton Howard to Michael Buble, this dual-channel compressor and limiter has been the dynamic backbone of studio recordings for almost half a century.

Its unmistakably creamy response, simple design, and huge sonic flexibility has cemented its reputation as the gold standard - modern music simply wouldn’t be the same without it. The end result is a professional, intuitive effect that efficiently enforces the laws of mix dynamics, working sonic wonders with the smallest of tweaks - retrofitted with razor-sharp contemporary features to suit every modern production need. From protective mix gluing to maximizing drum bus punchiness, this unique diode-bridge effect stands out from the compressor crowd as a workhorse processor for any audio application - and Comp DIODE-609 brings it into the virtual production realm like never before.

Digital VU meter

Authentic design
The realistic feel of using Comp DIODE-609 doesn’t end with the sound; its workflow and aesthetic offer an immersive studio experience. Enjoy instant adjustments with the famed stepped controls, as well as immediate visual feedback with the gain reduction VU meters.

Preset library
When a session is challenging, a mix is proving stubborn, or a deadline is creeping up on you, sometimes you need that quick sonic solution. Comp DIODE-609 comes loaded with dozens of handy presets, from snare tightener to smashed backing vocals.

Continuous controls
Part of Comp DIODE-609’s charm is its stepped control panel, letting you adjust your sound in bold chunks. But for those who prefer to mix between the lines, we added the option of continuous controls for tweaking the finer details. The choice is yours.
