ART SCL2 2-Channel Compressor / Limiter / Expander / Gate
The ART SCL2 delivers professional dynamics control in a streamlined 1U package. This dual-channel VCA processor provides transparent compression, precise limiting and flexible expansion without sacrificing audio integrity. Whether you are mixing live sound, tracking in the studio or tightening up a broadcast voice-over.
Unmatched Versatility
Operate the SCL2 as two independent processors or link them for true stereo action. Moreover, independent bypass, knee selection and attack/release mode switches let you tailor dynamics for everything. From subtle levelling to aggressive limiting.
Engineered for Precision
LED meters for gain reduction, output level and gate activity supply instant visual feedback. Meanwhile, sidechain inserts unlock advanced techniques such as frequency-dependent compression or external keying. Additionally, a dedicated balance control in stereo mode ensures perfectly centred imaging.
Built for the Road & the Rack
Housed in a rugged all-steel chassis, the SCL2 integrates effortlessly with any setup thanks to balanced XLR and 1/4″ TRS I/O. Lastly, an internal power supply means fewer wall warts and greater reliability on stage or in the studio.
