The product that started it all for Empirical Labs. Born of founder Dave Derr’s love of classic compressors like the 1176, LA-2A and Gain Brain (among others), the Distressor incorporates his favorite sonic characteristics of these, along with other unique and interesting features that have made it a staple for audio engineers all over the world. With over 28,000 units in the field, it’s safe to say that the Distressor is one of the best selling high end compressors of all time… if not THE best selling. A prominent recording engineer recently wagered that there probably was not a top 40 record made in the last five years that didn’t have at least one Distressor on it.

Arguably the coolest and most unique device in the Empirical Labs arsenal, the FATSO (Full Analog Tape Simulator and Optimizer) is a digitally controlled analog device that gives musicians and engineers easy access to many of the desirable characteristics exhibited by older tube and Class A electronics and magnetic tape mediums. This two channel audio processor musically integrates frequencies and transients, increasing the apparent volume while keeping tight control over peak levels.

In today’s modern age of digital recorders, DAWs and software plug-ins, Mike-E is the ultimate solution for getting a clean and strong, yet warm and musical signal into the box…and it couldn’t be easier to work – its front panel layout is so straight ahead that even inexperienced engineers will have no problem moving around on it right away.

As with ELI’s other signal processors, the Lil FrEQ Equalizer takes a somewhat unique approach to its job. Instead of daisy chaining several equalizers and frequency processors, we combined most of the sound sculpting tools an engineer needs into a compact single rack space box, while still offering the highest performance of any design in its class.

The mini Innofader Pro PT is the new low cost solution for fitting an Innofader into a Numark PT-01 Scratch.

Purchase along with a Reck IF-30 or Reck FH-45 for this purpose.

Already pre-programmed to work with a Reck IF-30.

This mini Innofader Pro comes with an adapter cable needed for mounting to an SC-1000. It is pre-programmed with a linear output so it will also work as an upgrade to mixers and controllers which come with a built-in mini Innofader.

This is a special version of the mini Innofader Pro that is pre-programmed to work in the Reloop Spin. It comes with the necessary adapter cable and mounting screws.

Please note if you have purchased have purchased a Reloop SPIN in Japan, USA, Australia or New Zealand, with a serial number beginning with RT1904xxxxx, you will need to modify the SPIN wiring prior to installing the mini Innofader Pro for Reloop SPIN.

The fader includes a mounting plate, adapter cable, and extra custom cable which allows the use of the original Spin fader to balance the Aux and Vinyl sound

Pro 2 for mixers DJM-800/900, Rane TTM, Stanton, Allen & Heath, Vestax
