A-Designs HM2 "Nail" Compressor

Solid State/Tube Hybrid Compressor The goal of 'The Nail' was to bring a hybrid of tubes and solid state design technology to a market that will integrate with the digital world and at the same time deliver analog warmth with a hint of color and richness to your recordings. 'The Nail' does just that and more with some new concepts in the art of compression with features such as Hard Threshold, Filter, Mix.

API 2500

Stereo Buss Compressor One of the most polytrophic compressors in existence, the stereo/dual mono 2500 lets you choose between 'old' and 'new' -style compression characteristics. It also employs API's proprietary 'thrust' function for enhanced low end and features the extremely handy auto-makeup gain, which maintains a constant output level, regardless of threshold and ratio settings. All this in addition to standard comp/limiter features and the sought-after 'API sound.'

API 525

Discrete Compressor Limiter Re-Issue for the 500-Series Rack An exact replica of the legendary 70's-era workhorse, the 525 was (and still is) a sophisticated and transparent-sounding compressor/limiter. Featuring a fixed, very fast attack time, variable release times and a killer de-esser, the 525 also boasts a one-knob ceiling control which automatically adjusts output gain -- very musical, and very useful for people who like to work fast. Works with all 500-series powered racks.

Alan Smart C1

Classic Dual Mono / Stereo Buss Compressor The Alan Smart C1 Compressor is identical to the C2, but with original black front panel, and lacks the sidechain inputs and ''crush'' setting.
Pretty much the definitive mix compressor, the Alan Smart C1 is based on the much-missed SSL bus compressor (Mr. Smart used to work for SSL...) Ridiculously wide bandwidth along with ridiculously quick attack times make the C1 the beautiful, singular device that it is.

Price: $2,350.00

Alan Smart C2

Dual Mono / Stereo Buss Compressor with Crush Mode FET ''overcompression'' & Tailored Frequency Response Pretty much the definitive mix compressor, the Alan Smart C2 is based on the much-missed SSL bus compressor (Mr. Smart used to work for SSL...) Ridiculously wide bandwidth along with ridiculously quick attack times make the C2 the beautiful, singular device that it is. With the flick of a switch you can go from easy-to-use true stereo operation to two independent mono channels.
And hey, these are tough times we're living in... so live a little and use the ''crush'' button.

Price: $2,800.00

Alan Smart C2R

Two Channel Audio Expander to add to a C2 or C2M for multichannel systems. Dual channel expander unit allows the user to add a C2 or C2M for use in multichannel environments.

Alesis 3630 Compressor

Dual Channel Compressor w/ Limiter Since its introduction, the 3630 Compressorª has become the most popular dynamics processor ever made. The reason is easy to understand: it provides two independent full-featured compressor/ limiters in one rack space while offering excellent sonic quality for any application from studio recording to live sound or broadcast. The 3630 offers Ratio, Threshold, Attack and Decay controls to customize its compression response for even the toughest signals. You can also choose between RMS and Peak compression styles, plus Hard and Soft Knee dynamic curves for every application from subtle gain control to in-your-face punch. As an independent dual-channel compressor, the 3630 offers separate controls for two different source signals. Plus, two fully independent gates with threshold and rate controls allow you to easily and efficiently stifle unwanted ambient noise. Other advanced dynamics processing features such as precise signal metering, a sidechain for keying or ducking effects and stereo linkable operation make the 3630 the most powerful compressor in its class.

Buzz Audio SOC-1.1

Stereo Optical Compressor Audio compressors that use a light source to control a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) are not new, and indeed there are many classic optical compressor designs. The design goal of the SOC-1.1 was to further enhance the attributes of optical compression to provide the user with alot more functionality as well as improve the compressor response to real world audio signals. Buzz Audio has carefully examined the characteristics of the LDR and developed a truly unique process to control it. This process they call the Differential Drive Side Chain topology (DDSC).
