Acme Audio Opticom MKII XLA-3 All-Tube Optical Compressor
The Acme Audio Opticom MKII XLA-3 is an all-tube optical compressor/limiter inspired by the legendary Teletronix LA-2A. The XLA-3 stays true to the smooth, natural compression of the LA-2A, but adds the advantage of having multiple compression speeds instead of only having one. The XLA-3 provides three separate compression curves to choose from with tones ranging from clean, harmonically rich, to just plain dirty! The Acme Audio Opticom MKII XLA-3 is finely made according to exact military-style specs, and designed for the professional studio.
