Even when pushed to the limit, the compressor remains transparent, breathing new life into vocal tracks, bass, keys, or percussion. A4-1B sounds and reacts just like the legendary hardware that inspired it allowing you to apply the legendary sound of Opto-Valve compression to your modern production.
Revolutionized Analog Power
High-quality components ensure A4-1B’s superior sound and performance consistency across the whole frequency spectrum. This all-analog powerhouse was made to last and faithfully follow the legacy it was built upon. Custom UK-manufactured transformers allow for a tight low-end and high-fidelity audio reproduction. The signature sound of the unit is achieved thanks to its premium tubes. Those provide A4-1B with extra analog warmth and precision. Electricity is the heart and soul of high-end analog gear so we packed A4-1B with an efficient PSU incorporating advanced automatic voltage adaptation for even greater stability and noise reduction.
