Hazelrigg Industries VNE Single-Channel Tube Compressor - Classic Compression Redefined
The Hazelrigg Industries VNE Single-Channel Compressor brings timeless tube compression to your tracks and mixes with precision and elegance. Featuring an all-Class A vacuum tube audio path—a signature of D.W. Fearn and Hazelrigg Industries designs—this versatile compressor effortlessly handles everything from subtle clean boosts to hard-clipping drive, delivering musical dynamics control for any studio setup.
Premium Design and Components
Built on the advanced gain reduction circuit from the D.W. Fearn VT-7 Stereo Tube Compression Amplifier, the VNE incorporates a unique Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control circuit. Together, these systems provide a smooth, artifact-free compression style that enhances your audio with finesse and power. Every component is hand-selected for exceptional audio performance and durability, ensuring consistent, high-quality results across any source material or session.
Simple, Responsive Controls
The VNE offers intuitive operation with controls for Threshold, Attack, Release, and Gain, putting dynamic shaping at your fingertips. A three-way rotary switch adds versatility, allowing you to bypass compression or engage a High-Pass Filter (HPF) in the side-chain. By attenuating frequencies around 100 Hz, the HPF prevents low-end transients from overdriving the compression, maintaining a balanced, polished sound without sacrificing fullness.
Built for the Long Haul
Handcrafted in the USA, the Hazelrigg VNE is engineered for decades of reliable performance. Add this tube-powered gem to your recording chain today and experience the perfect blend of vintage warmth and modern precision.
