Riding the Wave
Limo Style
The VCL-25A is an authentic Vari Mu audio leveler originally designed for radio broadcasting in the 1950s. It treats your mixes with elegance and stunning ease – just plug it in, give it the general direction and keep it there forever. It’s actually one of those rare limiters which literally ride the reduction and breathe dynamics along the way.
Natural Edge
The greatest advantages of the VCL25A are its beautiful, natural and smooth feeling and sound. It easily adds natural depth and shimmer without sounding hyped or muddy. But still – the grit is there in case you need it! The extended threshold and release allow to abuse the unit quite a bit, turning the gentle creature into a drum crushing beast on the parallel bus.
Original V2
On top of its authentic vibe, the VCL-25A offers a set of special features for an even more enjoyable mixing experience. A large VU/GR meter, input gain compensation, switchable release times, linear output attenuator, adjustable noise floor level and a dedicated mix control complete this fabulous limiter while staying true to its original concept.
No-brainer
Black magic or not, the VCL-25A sounds and feels like one of those good old tube levelers right inside your computer. A valued customer just nailed it: “There's a sound to this thing in addition to how smooth it is and the sound is glorious.” Produce solid dynamics on the fly and introduce some typical good-natured leveling heard on countless records to your tracks? You can’t go wrong.
