The new ADK CLA-1 combines modern technology with simple vintage features. No messing around with attack, release, and ratios. Just simple compression and peak limiting at it's finest.

CLA-1 Features:

Gain Control
gives user an additional 25db of available makeup gain.

Peak Reduction Control
yields a Gain Reduction Range from 0-30db.

Peak Limiter On/Off
gives the compression slope a harder knee and higher ratio

Bass Pass
places a high pass filter in the side-chain that prevents high energy low frequencies from overpowering the compression element. This is an invaluable tool for electric bass where the optical compressor really shines

Bypass Switch
sends the signal from the input xlr straight to the output xlr via sealed gold contact relays. This is a true hard bypass. The light on the meter will dim when bypass in engaged.

Meter Switch
toggles between gain reduction metering and output level.

Neutrik Gold Contact XLRs

Transformer Balanced In and Out

VU Meter

Swappable Op-Amp

Hand assembled in the USA by Top US Engineers.
