Under the expert craftsmanship of Black Lion Audio, the Seventeen Single Channel Compressor emerges as a revolutionary tool for recording studios and live performances. This isn't your grandfather's '76 compressor, nor is it a mere remake. Instead, it's an innovative reinterpretation of what the '76 compressor could have been, designed in collaboration with renowned hitmaker Tobias Lindell.
The Seventeen Single Channel Compressor boasts a reimagined IC-based front end, showcasing an unprecedented level of detail and nuance typically unattainable with compressors of this style. This cutting-edge front end circuit is harmoniously paired with our custom-designed output transformer, proudly made in Chicago. This combination yields a robust bottom end that perfectly counterbalances the open top end, creating a balanced and high-quality audio experience.
In our commitment to excellence, we've incorporated our proprietary Black Lion style power decoupling, resulting in an impressively low noise floor. The Seventeen also utilizes high-grade Nichicon signal capacitors, widely recognized as some of the highest quality capacitors on the market.
But we didn't stop at "good enough." The Seventeen Single Channel Compressor is packed with features typically considered upgrades or modifications. It includes a frequency-adjustable side chain, separate selectable high and low pass filters, and a wet/dry mix knob. This allows users to blend dry signal into their compressed signal, offering a unique palette of tones unmatched by any other compressor on the market today.
Moreover, the Seventeen includes the crucial stereo link function, enabling the linking of two units for a more expansive sound. With its durable and reliable solid-state circuitry, the Seventeen Single Channel Compressor stands as a testament to Black Lion Audio's commitment to producing innovative, professional-grade audio equipment.
