The RETRO Sta-Level is a Variable-mu Compressor with simple controls, capable of insane amounts of gain reduction. It's big, it's impressive looking, and relatively simple to use. Read more about it here.
Originally a broadcast limiter built by GATES in the 1950's as a radio broadcast program compressor, the unit has been re-created by RETRO Audio, with some expanded features. The STA-LEVEL has since become (one of) the secret weapons of some top producers. The original GATES was notably used by Sylvia Massy on the Johnny Cash "Unchained" sessions.
