2-channel Opto-compressor/Limiter with Class A Vacuum Tube and Discrete Solid-state Design

Millennia TCL-2 - Millennia equipment is designed and built for those who want their audio reproduction to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If you look up the phrase "extremely accurate microphone reproduction," you'll see a picture of the Millennia HV-3 preamp. Now they've applied their expertise to dynamics processing with the TCL-2 Twincom opto-compressor/limiter. The TCL-2 is completely balanced from input to output. No transformers or amplifiers are used to unbalance the signal inside the unit. Tech talk aside, you'll find the TCL-2 in the studios of mastering giants, hundreds of recording studios, and in the rigs of countless artists and engineers.

"We’ve been using our (eight channels of) TCL-2 Twincoms for a number of stereo and six channel surround mastering projects with great results. The ability of each unit to sound either as transparent as the Class A solid state electronics or as warm as the vacuum tube electronics is a big advantage. The Twincom has become our reference analog dynamics mastering processor." -Bob Ludwig, Gateway Mastering & DVD
