The 1029 Stereo VCA Compressor is AEA’s first compressor. From subtle smoothing to brickwall limiting, the AEA 1029 provides ultra-clean compression that you have to hear to believe. Utilizing a proprietary discrete op-amp design by Fred Forssell, the 1029 is a versatile compressor with a clear and balanced sound perfect for taming vocals or smashing drum overheads. Designed to pair well with our TRP and RPQ series preamps, the 1029 Stereo VCA compressor is perfect for recording and/or mixing stereo microphones.

The AEA 1029 will be available for pre-order later this year.
