The Trident SC2 500-Series Optical Compressor brings the smooth, musical dynamics control of Trident’s revered optical compression design into a compact 500-series format built for modern studios.
Inspired by the original Trident SC2, this stereo optical compressor delivers the warm, transparent leveling and effortless musicality that engineers love on vocals, bass, acoustic instruments, drum buses, and full mixes - all while fitting neatly into your favorite 500-series rack. Designed around a classic opto-cell gain reduction element, the SC2 500-Series offers naturally smooth attack and release characteristics that respond musically to program material. Whether you’re gently controlling dynamic vocals, adding cohesion to a stereo bus, or enhancing sustain on guitars and bass, this compressor provides that unmistakable optical feel - rich, controlled, and never harsh. Stereo linking makes it ideal for mix bus duties, while its intuitive control set keeps operation fast and creative in high-pressure tracking and mixing environments. True to Trident’s legacy, it blends vintage-inspired tone with modern reliability and 500-series convenience.
