The Locomotive Audio Power-MU 500 is a stereo vari-mu compressor built for the 500 series
\nformat. It brings smooth and warm tube compression to your stereo bus or mix, with all the classic
\ncharacter you\u2019d expect from high-quality analog gear. Designed with precision stepped controls, the
\nPower-MU 500 makes it easy to recall settings and dial in just the right amount of compression.
\nUsing NOS tubes and custom interstage transformers, the Power-MU delivers gentle and musical
\ncompression that enhances your mix without sounding harsh or overly processed. It\u2019s ideal for
\nglueing your mix together, but also responds well when pushed for more aggressive, harmonically
\nrich results.
\nWith features like AC & DC threshold controls, a stereo link switch, sidechain high-pass filter, and
\nhardwire bypass, the Power-MU 500 gives you flexible control in a compact 500 series unit. The
\nbacklit Sifam VU meter and heavy steel chassis reflect its quality build and professional design.
