Behringer 369 – Vintage Vibe, Modern Precision

Love the classic Neve 33609 sound? The Behringer 369 2-channel rackmounted stereo compressor brings that legendary “glue-like” magic to your mixes—think powerful, unified tracks like the pros got in the ‘70s. Inspired by the iconic compressor used in studios and broadcasts, this isn’t just a clone—it’s a faithful tribute, crafted with input from engineers who worked with Rupert Neve himself. Ready to shape your sound? Let’s go!

Why It Stands Out

The 369 blends vintage warmth with today’s reliability. Its dual-channel design tackles dynamics with finesse—subtle compression or peak-crushing limiting, your call. With custom Midas transformers and Class-A circuitry, it keeps your audio pure and punchy, whether you’re mastering a mix or taming a live signal.

Control Your Sound

From gentle 1.5:1 ratios to aggressive 6:1, the 369 lets you sculpt dynamics without losing your mix’s soul. Dial in thresholds, recovery, and gain with precision rotary switches—perfect for repeatable results. It’s the sweet spot between power and musicality, all in a rugged 2U rack.
