The 1960 is a hybrid vacuum tube/semi-conductor, dual-channel compressor which has
numerous applications in studio recording, live sound, location recording, post-
production and as part of a musician's rack system.
The microphone input stages feature extremely low noise, balanced input circuitry with
additional tube amplification, enabling modern microphones to take on the
characteristics of older tube models.
