Trident Audio SC2-500 Optical Compressor, Classic Joemeek Meets the ZenPro Clipalator
Posted by Warren Dent, Owner of ZenPro Audio on Feb 25, 2026
The Trident Audio SC2-500 Stereo Optical Compressor is in stock and shipping at ZenPro, and you can hear it now on all of our sources compared to everything else, in our Clipalator media player!
The Joemeek design has its own cult following, and the folks at PMI (who rep both Joemeek and Trident) decided a green 500 dual slot unit was in order. The SC2-500 features an optical compressor with 4 slope shapes (gentle to aggressive) as well as a trans-attack mode which prevents very sharp quick transients from affecting overall mixes.
