With a proprietary discrete op-amp design by Fred Forssell the AEA 1029 utilizes two THAT 4305 VCA chips run off of a single RMS detector being fed by the summed input signals. This product was primarily designed for the recording and/or mixing of stereo microphones. Designed to pair well with our TRP and RPQ series preamps, the 1029 Stereo VCA compressor is the perfect addition to any studio.

Features:

- Half-rack form factor
- 2 channels of XLR in and out
- 3 position Peak Fast, RMS, and Peak Slow sensing times
- Variable threshold from -20dBu to 20dBu
- Variable ratio from 1:1 - Limit
- Up to 20dB of makeup gain
- Dry/Wet percentage control knob
- True bypass relay switching
- Gain reduction, summed input, and summed output 6 segment LED meters

The AEA 1029 utilizes a proprietary discrete op-amp design by Fred Forssell and two THAT 4305 VCA chips run off of a single RMS detector being fed by the summed input signals. This design results in a versatile compressor with a clear and balanced sound perfect for taming vocals or smashing drum overheads. Designed to pair well with our TRP and RPQ series preamps, the 1029 Stereo VCA compressor is perfect for recording and/or mixing stereo microphones.

Packed into a sleek, half-rack design - the AEA 1029 is perfect for desktop use or for those looking to save space in their rack.
