"10DC" Stands for "10-Series Dynamic Compressor". Joining the rest of their famous 10-Series (1073, 1023, etc.) BAE's 10DC is reminiscent of a Neve 33609 but with improvements like adjustable attack ranging from 2 to 80ms and more:
Fully Class A, the BAE 10DC features a transformer coupled,
all-discrete circuitry that is sonically familiar to the BAE Class A
line of gear, ideal for achieving the classic analogue sound favorable
in today's digital recording. Stepped Elma switches for every control, a
reverse analog meter, and the trademark Marconi knobs facilitate ease
of use and repeatability. Independent circuitry for compressor and
limiter allows use of one or both for greater control. Also featured is a
true bypass that is stereo-linkable. The new BAE 10DC is handsomely
housed in a steel chassis using the same remote supply as other BAE
units.
