---

Vintagedesign CL1mk2 is a fully discrete class-A stereo compressor/limiter based around classic diode bridge designs of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Diode bridge dynamics controllers are revered for their smooth gain control. All input and output connections are balanced and floating using traditional Carnhill/St. Ives transformers for classic vintage sound. In fact, the combination of these transformers, the all class-A circuitry, and the use of diode bridge gain reduction technology yields the one of the most desired sound characters of any dynamics device ever – smooth, elegant compression with warm, soft distortion. Some of the most wanted vintage compressor designs, like the 2254, 2264, 33609, Siemens™ and EMI™ used this type of design.

PROFESSIONAL USERS and THEIR OPINIONS
on Vintagedesign CL1mk2 compressor/limiter

CL1mk2 is used during recording and mixing of ERIC CLAPTON, SHERYL CROW and NIKKA COSTA albums!

"I just finished mixing Eric Clapton's latest record and the CL1mk2 played a major roll in the final mixes. I used it across the stereo buss and it helped glue the tracks together without too much bass build up, helped spread and give depth to the image and gave a warmth to the tracks just like a classic vintage compressor. I'll be using it on every song I mix, its the magic box. Great job Thomas, thanks!"
Justin Stanley (producer/engineer) March 2010
