Tube optical compressor limiter. A channel of pure compression: instantaneous, musical and transparent.

A unique electro-optical attenuation system allows instantaneous peak reduction with no increased harmonic distortion, which is directly driven by the input signal, thus achieving an immediate action, always following the musical passages.

This way of driving the peak reduction system of the compressor allows to obtain a fast, accurate, transparent compression, always prone to follow the musicality of the audio programme, with an extremely low distortion even on the highest rates of compression.

The unit is hand-built and guaranteed against defects of workmanship for a period of 12 months.

The components used are all selected with the strictest tolerance, and tested by ear.
