Comp-2A

Golden Age Opto Compression The Golden Age Comp-2A is a single-channel optical compressor/leveler designed after the most coveted tube compressor of all time. The Comp-2A features vacuum tubes in its signal and side-chain path, and its input and output are transformer-balanced with separate transformers, each optimized for its intended purpose. This is how audio components were built before the advent of transistors and integrated circuits, and it pays dividends in the form of warm, deliciously musical vintage-inspired sound. Sweetwater knows you want one, and we have good news: the Comp-2A is so delightfully affordable, you'll likely want two for stereo linking.Built like the classics There's a reason the best vintage gear is still coveted half-a-century on. It's the discrete circuitry. With transformer-balanced I/O and no ICs in the circuit path, these components served up the sound that powered a million hit records: warm, characterful, punchy. Golden Age doesn't use ICs.
