Selling my Tree Audio LC1 500 Series Opto Compressor. Unit is fully functional and in excellent cosmetic condition, always kept in a smoke-free studio environment.
The LC1 is essentially the evolution of the legendary Inward Connections “The Brute,” featuring fully discrete Class A VF600 amplifiers along with custom Cinemag input and output transformers. It delivers a smooth, musical optical compression character that works beautifully on vocals, bass, drums, synths, and mix buss duties.
This compressor has a thick, punchy tone while still remaining open and detailed. The selectable ratios make it far more versatile than many traditional opto compressors.
Features:
• Fully discrete Class A design
• Custom Cinemag transformers
• 6 selectable ratios: 2:1, 4:1, 6:1, 8:1, 10:1, 12:1
• Up to 40dB of gain reduction
• 250Hz high-pass filter
• Analog VU meter
• Link and bypass functions
• Smooth vintage-style optical compression with modern flexibility
The unit has been extremely well maintained and performs flawlessly. A rare and hard-to-find 500 series compressor that brings serious analog character to any setup.
Feel free to message me with any questions.
