The TX5C is a new design from Paul Wolff that addresses the complex issues of compression.

With in-module parallel mixing of the dry signal & the compressed signal, you can now enjoy parallel or "side chaining" an instrument with itself & come up with the perfect blend of the original & compressed signal.

A TX-240 op-amp input & TX-260 output deliver an absolutely pristine sound.

In addition to the Input/Compressor MIX knob, there are many other unique features not found on any compressor made today.

Switching between Feed Back & Feed Forward compression is not new to Paul Wolff. The TX5C goes further being able to fade between Feed Back & Feed Forward compression with the TYPE control giving you freedom to combine the smooth nature of Feed Back compression with the agressive effect of Feed Forward compression.

The TX5C can over compress with the RATIO control, which allows compression ratios from 1.5:1 to 20:1, & beyond. The "OVER:" ratio settings cause the compressor to reduce gain at a higher ratio than the gain is going into it meaning the ratio control allows the compressor to compress an increase in signal of 10dB with a gain reduction of up to -8dB. If the signal goes up 10dB, the output will go DOWN 8dB.

The TX5C has the now famous TILT control in the side chain of the RMS detector, so you can increase highs & decrease lows going into the RMS detector, virtually eliminating the effects of pumping as the Detector is seeing a more even distribution of energy across the spectrum instead of a bass heavy signal like most compressors.

The Attack control has a X5 switch for an extremely fast through to a very smooth slow attack, more suited for leveling. The Release control can be almost instantaneous to 3 seconds. The release circuit is a unique 3 stage circuit that auto releases the faster signals at a rate of 10 times the release of the lower frequency signals. All of this and an auto-makeup gain system that always keeps the gain at unity regardless of the amount of compression.
