Trident Stereo Limiter / Compressor

Rare rackmount two-channel Trident compressor. From the Triad (Trident Audio Developments) era at Shepperton Studios, this is a FET limiter / compressor based on the designs used for Trident consoles

This has the same knurled aluminium knobs you’ll find on the Series 80 and Fleximix consoles, so it’s pure 1970s

I was expecting this to be pretty brutal in operation, but it turns out that – at least at lower ratios – it’s quite subtle. To make it grind, tweak the ratio rather than the threshold and adjust attack & release to suit. VCA compressors can’t do this…

In very good condition. Recapped in our workshops, tested & sounding great
