CAPI FC526 XMFR 500 Series Compressor. Build to Order.

Description

These units are hand built to order.
1-2 Weeks build time.
There are a few options when putting a compressor together so I build them to order to give you the opportunity to pick the perfect combination of op-amps and transformers.
Transformers
Ed Anderson EA2623-1
:
Replicate the transformers found in the vintage API consoles from the 70's.
Litz 2623-1-L
:
Referred to as the "preferred" sounding transformer. This transformer has a uniform high frequency response and the bottom end is more open.
Op Amps
(Pick one)
*SL-2520 Red Dots
:
Built by Scott Liebers, these are designed to match the Huntington and Melville NY op  amps from the 70's
*this is an additional
gar2520
:
Built by me, sound hair splittingly close to the Huntington and Melville NY op amps from the 70's.
gar1731
:
Built by me, sonically very similar to the 2520 but with a slightly smoother bottom and  top.
Classic Audio Products Inc. has put together one of the best sounding API/1176 style compressors out there.
The FC526 XFMR is stuffed with a ton of features including:
-Selectable ratio (2,4,8,12,20, and ABI - All Buttons In)
-Gain reduction circuit bypass
-Hard bypass
-100Hz side chain filter
-One op amp (gar2520, gar1731, and other options)
-Input and output transformers (Litz or Ed Anderson)
All units are 100% VPR Alliance compliant.
I am located in Los Angeles area and have built a ton of gear for a multitude of audio industry professionals.
I also can BTO any kit from CAPI, Hairball Audio and Sound Skulptor.
If you have a DIY project you want built from another manufacture I am sure I can build it as well!
