Millennia Media TCL2 Twincom 2 Channel Compressor
In the legacy of classic opto-electric compressors, the TCL-2 brings an entirely modern update to vintage dynamics processing. With a full range of dynamic control (threshold, attack, release, ratio, de-essing), the TCL-2 opto-dynamics processor is designed with Millennia’s trademark "minimal sonic color" philosophy. Even with moderate levels of compression, the TCL- 2's dynamics remain invisible and completely transparent on virtually all audio program. Perfect for sculpting extra vitality and size into all instruments, TCL-2’s opto- electric audio path can be selected with fat, vintage-like vacuum tube amplifiers or musically pristine pure Class-A discrete solid state amplifiers, while the invisible opto- gain reduction element remains common to both amplifier topologies. - Two paths to perfection with Twin Topology™
- Stereo optical compressor/limiter with unprecedented sonic purity & integrity
