Condition: Very Good

This unit has been well cared for in a professional recording studio environment and is in very good condition, showing only minor cosmetic signs of normal studio use.

Please Note: The LED indicators associated with the threshold control are functional but can occasionally respond inconsistently when adjusting the knob. This is a minor visual issue only and has absolutely no effect on the compressor’s performance, functionality, or sound quality.

It is possible that a firmware update could resolve this behavior, although I have not investigated that possibility. Because the issue is so minor and does not interfere with the operation or audio quality of the compressor in any way, I never felt the need to address it. The compressor otherwise performs as intended.

The WesAudio DIONE offers the best of both worlds: the sonic character of a premium analog stereo bus compressor with the flexibility, automation, and recall capabilities of modern digital production.

Whether you're looking to add professional analog compression to your stereo mix bus or expand your hybrid studio setup, the DIONE is an exceptional choice.

An excellent opportunity to own a premium WesAudio DIONE stereo bus compressor at a fraction of its original cost.
