Maselec MLA-3: professional multiband compression

The Maselec MLA-3 is a multiband analog compressor designed for the highest level of mastering applications. Each band has dedicated controls for threshold, ratio, attack and release, with 6 dB/oct passive slope crossovers ensuring extremely accurate and coloration-free summing of the bands.

Advanced dynamic control with total transparency

With its signature Leif Mases design, the MLA-3 offers a transparent and musically neutral sound response. Ideal for those who want dynamic treatment without invasive timbral characterizations, it is valued for its ability to make the mix more cohesive, compact and three-dimensional.
