Less than 25% the size and cost of the original with 100% authentic tone. It took multiple years of dedication to make this ambitious goal a reality, but finally it is here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design includes Lundahl input\/output transformers, 12AX7\/12BH7 tubes, and a Kenetek T4B optical attenuator module. These components are expensive, but absolutely necessary to replicate this classic compressor's unsurpassed audio qualities. Two sidechain tubes are replaced with high voltage solid-state circuitry to significantly reduce size while leaving the original audio path fully intact. The line audio path is a precise match of the original schematic with a custom 275VDC low-noise internal power supply providing high voltage to the audio circuitry from a standard 12VDC input. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis machine is the real deal. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical studio compressors require line level signals from low impedance sources. The DLA-2A has the standard transformer balanced line input as well as a high impedance input with a balanced gain stage, providing direct compatibility with guitar and bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compressed output signal is passed to a transformer balanced line output that can be connected to a mixing console or headphones as well as an instrument level output that can be connected to a pedalboard or amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDC power is applied to the tube heater filaments and does not generate 60 Hz hum, resulting in lower noise than the classic reference design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eCOMPONENTS\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLundahl 1922 Input
