Marti CLA 40H

For sale here is a Marti CLA-40H compressor/limiter.

If you’re familiar with these compressor/limiters, you’ll notice this one looks nothing like the other one’s that you may have seen as it was heavily modded to bring all of the controls to the front panel making it way more flexible and usable in the recording studio and looks way cooler. This mod was already done when I purchased it so I don’t know exactly what was done, all I know is that it sounds incredibly cool! I’ve used these on mixes with great results on guitars and drums, especially in parallel to squash and crunch drums and I’ve used these on crush mics when tracking drums or piano. Including pigtails in the sale so you can just plug right in.

From what I’ve been told, these were broadcast compressor’s with both a compress and limit section that were made in the style of the Urie BL40.

These days I’m mixing mainly in the box so I unfortunately can’t justify having racks full of compressors that aren’t getting used, so I’m thinning the heard a bit. I hope that this compressor will be bring tons of analog joy as it did for me to someone new!

P.S. I owned 3 of these compressors and am keeping 1 because they’re awesome!
