UAD API 2500: analog punch for mixes and subgroups

Universal Audio's API 2500 Bus Compressor plug-in precisely recreates the legendary analog compressor that has been a staple on the stereo outputs of top audio engineers for years. This tool allows you to add professional "glue" to your tracks, enhancing cohesion and sonic impact.

Versatile compression and advanced controls

Quickly switch between vintage "Old" and more modern "New" compression, with feedback or feed-forward circuit options. With plug-in version-exclusive controls such as Mix (for parallel compression) and Headroom, you can fine-tune every detail with extreme flexibility.

Stereo control and punchy low frequencies

With API's signature Thrust™ technology, you can maintain energy and clarity in even the most hard-hitting low frequencies. Stereo Link percentage control lets you precisely shape the interaction between the left and right channels in your mix.
