NEU-473A

This 1970s German classic from the 1970s has shaped the midrange of more records than you might imagine, yet very few people have even heard its name. For decades NEU-473A has been the secret weapon between the master tape and the vinyl cutter of countless hits, pulling their midrange forward and flawlessly polishing their tone. For over 50 years, this highly versatile compressor has been the unsung hero among its contemporaries. Its independent compressor, limiter, and expander modules make it suitable for both subtle applications and hard-core limiting. Our recreation of this studio classic features all of its signature functions including the handy De-Es and Bass-cut Switches for extra control beyond the mid-range that is the unit’s specialty.
