Avalon AD2044 — Dual Mono/Stereo Class A Opto Compressor

From my studio (Studio Mozart) — well maintained, fully tested, works exactly as it should.

100% discrete, pure Class A opto compressor — no VCAs, no ICs, just clean current-monitored optical gain reduction for that transparent, "invisible" compression Avalon's known for. Variable attack/release, sidechain access, and stereo link for full two-buss operation. High headroom, low noise, and the kind of natural harmonic detail that makes it a go-to on vocals, bass, and mix buss work in top studios worldwide.

Features:

• 100% discrete Class A signal path
• Linear opto gain reduction (no VCA)
• Variable attack/release
• Sidechain access
• Stereo link for dual mono or linked stereo operation

Lived its whole life in a professional, climate-controlled studio — no smoke, no pets, gently used and well cared for. I've engineered on projects including additional sound work for DUNE (Grammy-winning), Vital Information, Spanish Harlem Orchestra, and many more — this unit's been part of that chain and it's flawless.
