About Samson S-com 4 Four Channel Compressor/Gate

The Samson S-com 4 Compressor/Gate is a compact and versatile single-rack space device that provides four channels of high quality dynamics processing with an Expander/Gate and Compressor/Limiter on each channel.

The Expander/Gate section features a continuously variable Threshold control as well as a switch for fast or slow release times.

The Compressor/Limiter section includes variable Threshold, Ratio and Output levels. S-com 4's Enhancer switch restores high frequencies that are sometimes diminished by heavy compression.
