Burgin McDaniel Design has announced the release of their first self-branded product, the Komit which is a compressor / limiter using the API standard form factor and pin out.

Built around a balanced, floating input and output via Triad Magnetics iron, the Komit is designed for ease of use because makeup gain is automatic via a Compression control. When set to minimum, the compression ratio is 1:1. As ratio increases, the source level remains constant. A separate Output gain adjustment controls a discrete, pre-limiter analog gain stage that drives the limiter for color and effect or, can be left at unity if no further gain staging or timbral modification is needed.

Pricing on the Komit is set at $995, with the first twenty five units serialized and signed by the design team. A limited edition Producers Pack is also available, which houses two Komits in a black walnut cabinet, complete with power supply.
