WesAudio ngBusComp feedback adapter

Sidechain adapter cable for WesAudio ngBusComp

• Dedicated sidechain adapter for WesAudio ngBusComp compressor.
• Enables feedback compression mode for a more musical sound
• Improves the dynamic response and analog character of the compressor
• Compatible with Stereo and Dual Mono modes
• Easy installation via XLR and sidechain jack connections
• Ideal for achieving more classic compression behavior

The WesAudio ngBusComp Feedback Adapter is an adapter cable designed to expand the control possibilities of the WesAudio ngBusComp analog compressor. This accessory allows you to use a feedback compression mode, offering a smoother, more musical dynamic response than the traditional feed-forward architecture.

Feedback compression for a more musical analog sound

In feed-forward compressors such as the ngBusComp, the control signal is generated before the compression circuit, providing great accuracy and speed of operation. Using the Feedback Adapter, the compressed signal is instead fed back into the sidechain circuit, creating a more natural behavior similar to that of classic analog compressors.

This approach results in smoother and more musical compression, which is particularly appreciated on mix buses, stereo groups, and complex musical material.

Seamless integration with WesAudio ngBusComp

The adapter is designed specifically for the ngBusComp compressor and integrates seamlessly into the studio hardware setup. It connects via sidechain input and compressor output, allowing you to easily create a compression feedback loop without permanent changes to the system configuration.

Stereo and Dual Mono Mode Compatibility

The Feedback Adapter is designed to work optimally when the compressor operates in Stereo or Dual Mono mode, where sidechain routing allows the compressed signal to properly control the compressor detector.

Limitations in Mid-Side mode

When ngBusComp is set to Mid-Side mode, the sidechain EXT input expects a signal in M/S format. In this configuration, the signal from the compressor output in Left/Right format will not properly activate the sensing circuit, making the adapter not compatible with this mode.

Easy installation in your setup

Installation of the ngBusComp Feedback Adapter is quick and intuitive:

• Connect the jack to the compressor's sidechain input.
• Connect the female XLR connector to the output of the ngBusComp
• Use the male XLR connectors to connect the compressor to your audio chain or other devices

With this configuration, you can easily integrate the adapter into your studio, resulting in compression behavior that is more musical and close to the character of classic analog compressors.
