Multiband Compression

The SPECTRACOMP utilizes multiband compression, which processes different frequency ranges of your bass signal independently. This results in a more natural and transparent compression, preserving your low-end while controlling dynamics across the entire frequency spectrum, leading to a more consistent and punchy sound.
