That lush air around a vocal. The silky sheen that makes you lean in. Some studio tricks stick around for a reason.
Born from a custom-modified Type-A unit sourced from the studio of a certain Swedish songwriter, A-Class Vocal brings a legendary studio trick into your modern workflow. Its unique blend of tone shaping, harmonics and dynamics gives vocals a gorgeous, open top end that EQ alone can't deliver - or lets guitars, drums and synths in on the secret.
Dial it in. Then try mixing without it.
Misused in 1966. Iconic ever since.
Long before plugins, engineers discovered a beautiful side effect of vintage Type-A noise-reduction hardware: used creatively, it could give recordings a luxurious, airy sheen.
It's not just brighter. By using the encoding stage without decoding the signal afterward, engineers turned noise reduction into a distinctive enhancement technique. Its blend of tone shaping, harmonics and dynamics lifts the top end, adding air and presence that made it a favorite for vocals.
A-Class Vocal captures that character from a custom-modified hardware unit sourced from the studio of a certain Swedish songwriter. The classic sound, without the vintage-hardware ritual.
