Anthony DeMaria Labs SCL1500

The Anthony DeMaria Labs SCL1500 is a 2U rack-mounted hand-built all-valve stereo compressor.
Solidly built, the SCL 1500 from Anthony DeMaria Labs gives outstanding performance with its uncompromising design, based on the early Teletronix LA-2A. The 8-valve circuit gives you the classic valve warmth and excellent dynamic range you’d be looking for in the hard-to-find original.
The SCL1500 layout is simple and easy to operate with gain and peak reduction knobs on each input, two large VU meters and meter selection switches. That’s it. But the years of experience that ADL have gained with their products combine to make the ADL 1500 a superlative performer.
Whether you want to control the dynamics with smoothness and transparency or just impart some of that much-loved valve sound to your recording, the ADL SCL 1500 is the effortless master of the situation.

“I used the ADL 1500 in another facility on a tracking and mixing session and decided I had to have one for my own studio, I use mine  everyday and it can be used on anything including the mix. If you like big and clear you’ll love this.”
