Joemeek MC2 Stereo Compressor

Great stereo opto-compressor for bus compression and overall mix compression.

The Mc2 is a professional studio-quality stereo compressor in a compact half-rack format. Simple to use yet extremely powerful, the Mc2 will bring out the best in any line-level stereo material and give the gloss of a professional studio to all your performances. It can be used for both recording/mastering, and live work.

Think of the Mc2 as three separate pieces of equipment: •A line level stereo preamplifier
•A stereo Joemeek compressor
•A stereo width processor
