Black Lion Audio Seventeen

General

Taking inspiration from the classic '76 FET compressor/limiter then throwing in a few contemporary components and functions, the Black Lion Audio Seventeen compressor is less of a remake and more of a revolutionary thought experiment. This 2U rack module is home to an incredibly tasteful compressor/limiter that guarantees unique results, especially when applied to microphones. The top-end is incredibly open, while the bottom-end can be left nice and thick, and any event, you get an especially low noise-floor alongside a number of useful extra features, like a side-chain with adjustable frequency, stereo-linking, separate filters, and a dry/wet balance. Add everything up and it comes to a studio compressor with a character that you just won't find anywhere else.
