MLA-2 Maselec Mastering Compressor description:

The Prism Sound MLA-2 Maselec Mastering Compressor. Highly respected in the worlds best studios and designed for recording and mastering applications where ultimate sonic performance is required.

The Prism Sound MLA-2 Precision Stereo Compressor is designed for recording, mixing and mastering applications where ultimate sonic performance is required. The MLA-2 employs state-of-the art analogue circuits to provide a perfect solution for recording and mastering, especially used in conjunction with Prism Sound A/D and D/A converters. The gain element of the MLA-2 is an optical device rather than the more conventional VCA. This provides a smooth transition between linear and compressed operation with a low level of noise. The MLA-2 was developed in association with engineer/ producer Leif Mases. Leif's work with a diverse range of artists including Abba, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath is demonstrated by the MLA-2's design with the engineer in mind.

The main features of the Prism Sound MLA-2 include:

• Highly respected in the worlds best studios and designed for recording and mastering applications where ultimate sonic performance is required
• Easy to operate with input gain controlling compression depth (drive)
