Klark Teknik KT-2A

With the KT-2A Klark Teknik offers an interesting replica of the legendary and popular LA-2A compressor. Both the appearance and the operating concept with the two large potentiometers are reminiscent of its famous model, while the VU meter, limit/compressor switch and gain reduction are also on board. In addition, KT-2A 12AX7, 12BH7 and EL84 tubes are used, which provide special, warm and efficient compression over the entire frequency range from 10 Hz - 20 kHz. The signal path is completely discrete and the compressor/limiter is equipped with MIDAS input and output transformers. Klark Teknik also promises extremely short attack times of 10 ms, while the release time ranges between 50 ms and 5s. Like the original, the KT-2A is mono, but can be combined with another KT2A for stereo signals. The compressor is connected via the balanced XLR connectors on the rear or via a jack. A robust, durable metal housing with a height of 2U rounds off the special replica.
