About This Listing

The IGS ONE LA 500-Series Compressor is an opto-compressor built for the 500-series format. It is truly a no-compromise vacuum tube device that is sure to be a favorite piece of your studio.

The IGS ONE LA 500-Series Compressor offers two knobs of happiness! It is the first high voltage vacuum tube 500 series module that is offered by IGS. The IGS ONE LA 500-Series Compressor is powered with 250V DC from an on-board voltage converter, so it can be plugged into any 500 series rack equipped with a standard power supply. Every single IGS ONE LA is hand made with high quality, matched components (1% metal film resistors, Wima caps). It is equipped with JJ tubes and individually calibrated to give you the unique and unspoiled experience of one of the best opto-compressors in the history - the Teletronix '68 LA-2A. The IGS Audio has spent hundreds of hours designing the ONE LA, to make sure that it is as simple to use as it is versatile. Not only for harmonically rich vocals and strings, but also for huge and beefy drums and bass instruments. Using two IGS ONE LA 500-Series Compressor as a stereo pair will allow you to use it as an excellent bus compressor!

There is Something Else
Three audio transformers (Sowter and Edcor in audio path and OEP in sidechain) have been used to provide excellent performance and with only two knobs and a single compressor/limiter switch, there is nothing that could go wrong. Additionally, you can replace the photocell easily.

Product Overview
The IGS Audio ONE LA 500 is a 500 Series optical compressor with true high-voltage tube circuitry, creating a smooth and stunning sound that's more than reminiscent of the classic Teletronix LA-2A. Stellar for any and all dynamic control of vocals, acoustic guitars and bass, this two-wide module uses three transformers as well as 12AX7 and 12AU7 tubes getting 250V, giving you a no-compromise audio path. The optical cell is pin compatible with the classic T4, meaning you can switch over to a vintage photocell to get even more of that old-world vibe.
