The Mc2 is a professional studio-quality stereo compressor in a compact half-rack format. Simple to use yet extremely powerful, the Mc2 will bring out the best in any line-level stereo material and give the gloss of a professional studio to all your performances. It can be used for both recording / mastering, and live work.
Think of the Mc2 as three separate pieces of equipment:
A line level stereo preamplifier.
A stereo Joemeek compressor.
A stereo width processor.
