An official announcement has come from Little Labs to confirm the release of their new LL2A Compressor/Limiter. Little Labs states that the LL2A is "an all original, fast, soft knee, start of the art compressor limiter, with mastering audio fidelity."

• Internal state of the art super low noise linear voltage regulation, providing full current/voltage for active audio components and a 1MHz low noise high voltage supply for the Nixie tube.
• Linkable for two LL2A compressor stereo balanced use, or a single LL2A can be used for unbalanced stereo!
