Two channels of stellar compression!

TL Audio expands their Ivory 2 Series with the 5060, a 2-channel compressor for mixing or mastering applications. Built on the same discrete mic preamp technology as the other members of the Ivory 2 series, the 5060 also boasts stereo line-level and stereo instrument inputs. Equally suited for use as the front end of a recording rig or processing during mixing/mastering, the 5060 can do it all. One set of controls manages both channels, greatly simplifying setup, and the 5060 also includes a Fat EQ switch for tone-shaping.

Built on the legacy of the Ivory 2 series
Using the same high quality discrete microphone preamp as other Ivory 2 products the 5060 also has stereo line level or stereo instrument inputs. The 5060 is equally versatile as a "front-end" tracking device or as the final stage mixdown or mastering compressor.

Simple to setup and use
One set of controls operates both the channels for quick and easy setup. The compressor section has 15 expertly programmed presets designed to work with a typical selection of vocal and instrumental sources as well as a manual mode for self adjustment of the compressor. The output section includes a "Fat EQ" switch for adding some "presence" or "weight" to your signal.

TL Audio
TL Audio puts a wealth of experience and a commitment to quality behind the 5060. Founder Tony Larking began by restoring vintage recording consoles, and TL Audio's first offerings included original Neve EQ modules that were repackaged for recording studio use. By the early 1990s, TL Audio recognized that the demand for tube-equipped outboard gear far exceeded the supply of vintage Pultec and Fairchild gear, so the company went to work and produced its first tube gear — the EQ-1. The EQ-1 appealed to modern studio owners thanks to its combination of tube warmth and ultra-quiet operation. You'll find that same blend of classic character and modern performance in the 5060 and all of TL Audio's gear; from preamp modules to full consoles, TL Audio builds quality into everything they make.
