WesAudio MIMAS ng500 500 Series FET Compressor Module

The WesAudio _MIMAS brings classic 1176-style FET compression into the modern hybrid studio. It delivers the fast, punchy response and bold character that made this design a studio staple, while adding one of the most useful workflow upgrades of today: full digital recall.

With a fully balanced analog signal path, +24 dBu of headroom, and Carnhill transformers at its core, _MIMAS keeps the sound firmly in the analog domain. The control is digital. The compression is not.

Choose from four classic ratios: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, and 20:1, or push things further with the legendary All Buttons In mode for a more aggressive, explosive sound.

_MIMAS also includes a dedicated Saturation mode, letting you add tone, edge, and transformer color without dialing in compression. Instead of juggling input and output gain, a single control makes it quick and easy.

Compatible with standard 500 Series racks, _MIMAS also unlocks deeper functionality in the ng500 ecosystem, including plugin control, total recall, analog automation, and hardware A/B switching. In a _TITAN chassis, multiple units can be controlled from a single USB or Ethernet connection.

For engineers who want vintage compression with modern session workflow, _MIMAS is one of the smartest takes on a classic design.
