the highest quality components to ensure precise and transparent compression. Its
advanced features, including DAW integration for remote control and automation, and
filtering for targeted compression, provide a seamless experience for audio professionals
seeking both authenticity and innovation.
All-analog design preserving the true sound of classic opto-valve compression
Custom transformers & hi-end tubes for tight low-end and high-fidelity audio
Remote control, with automation and preset recall
Proprietary motorized potentiometers ensuring instant remote response
User-configurable high-pass, band-pass and de-essing filters
As Authentic as It Gets.
The A4-1B captures the essence of legendary compression. A painstakingly accurate signal
path, premium tubes, and custom transformers combine for unparalleled authenticity and
low-end richness. The precise opto-cell detection system guarantees precise compression
characteristics, matching the authentic behavior of the original. Crafted with premium
analog components, the A4-1B is not just a compressor—it’s a testament to the timeless
quality of true analog engineering.
Classic Sound, Modern Engineering.
The A4-1B combines analog warmth with modern engineering for unparalleled
performance. Its efficient power supply ensures stability and reliability with automatic
voltage adaptation, while DC heating for the tubes minimizes noise and enhances tonal
warmth. Digital control technology streamlines compression adjustments, offering faster
and more precise operation. These innovations not only improve the device's efficiency but
also enhance the overall user experience, making the A4-1B a perfect blend of classic sound
and modern precision for professional audio workflows.
Bringing Analog into the Digital Age.
The A4-1B also has access to the optional A4 software suite, allowing for remote control via
VST3, AAX, or AU plugin, or standalone app, offering full integration into your DAW setup.
Proprietary motorized knobs allow settings to be applied instantly to the hardware, while
the preset system ensures easy recall for consistency across sessions and A/B testing.
Attack, Release, Gain, Threshold, and Ratio can be automated directly in the DAW plugin,
just like with any native tool. The extended filter section includes low pass, high pass, and
band pass filters for sidechain applications, and the de-es mode with a narrow band pass
filter helps clean up vocals and instruments with precision.
*The A4 software suite is available as an optional addon, as part of a monthly or annual
membership plan. The A4-1B comes with 1 year of Antelope Membership for free, including
the full suite of Synergy Core Native plugins, as well as all new releases and updates.
