Totally Invisable

I've been using the 160A for six years, it is by far the most impressive compressor I've ever used, or seen in use. It's totally invisable, but works perfectly. Whether it be a single voice or an entire band, I have never had one problem with this compressor in any way.

Transparent Compression

I've used a variety of different compressors. This one by far exceeds them all, even my modded CS-3.

Great compression without even being able to tell it's doing it's job. That's what I look for in a quality Compressor.
