SPL Venos Stereo Bus Compressor

The SPL Venos is a next-generation stereo bus compressor inspired by legendary vintage tube designs. It combines classic tone with modern innovation, introducing two revolutionary hyper-compression modes—Focus and Punch—for unmatched sonic versatility. Powered by SPL’s proprietary 120V technology, Venos delivers unparalleled headroom, dynamic range, and musicality, making it the king of dynamics for your mix bus.

Classic Tube Warmth Meets Modern Precision
At its core, Venos is a variable-bias tube compressor built around a bias-controlled remote cutoff tube. This design imparts the rich, harmonically complex tone engineers love, while the new hyper-compression modes open creative possibilities for adding punch or tightening focus in your mix. Every parameter is fine-tuned for intuitive operation, with stepped controls for easy recall and perfect stereo tracking.

Effortless Workflow and Sonic Control
Dialing in the perfect sound is simple: adjust the input level to set compression intensity, then explore threshold, bias, and mode settings to shape tone and dynamics. All controls are detented for precision and repeatability, ensuring consistent results session after session.
