Add punch and grit to your tracks

The Black Lion Audio Level-Loc Compressor brings the unmistakable bite of the original Shure Level-Loc to your studio. Its heavy-handed compression is perfect for adding serious punch to drum busses, vocals, and other sources needing a bold, in-your-face character. If you're looking for subtle grit or full-on saturation, this compressor handles it all with ease. By adjusting the input level and using the mix control, you can fine-tune the compression effect to suit your needs, from parallel processing to extreme sonic crunch.

Flexible connectivity for modern setups

The Level-Loc Compressor offers versatile connection options to fit seamlessly into any studio setup. A combo input jack allows you to connect mic and line-level signals without needing an adapter. Plus, the unit includes both XLR and TRS output options, providing flexibility for different routing configurations.

With the addition of phantom power, you can use condenser microphones with ease, while the built-in pad ensures compatibility with high-output sources.

Mix control for parallel compression

Blend your dry and compressed signals effortlessly with the dedicated mix control. This feature allows you to dial in the perfect amount of parallel compression, preserving dynamics while adding the desired amount of thickness and saturation.

The Level-Loc is ideal for subtly enhancing a vocal or adding aggressive weight to drums, the mix knob offers quick and intuitive control over your sound.

Classic compression with modern control

While the original Level-Loc featured a fixed release time, Black Lion Audio has introduced switchable fast and slow release options. This gives you greater flexibility in shaping the compression to suit different instruments and styles. From fast, snappy compression for rhythmic elements to slower settings for smooth, sustained control, these options make the Level-Loc more adaptable than ever.
