Affordable dynamics processing for any situation!
The ACL8 from Alto packs eight channels of dynamics processing - including compression, limiting, expansion, and gating - into a single 2U rackspace. The back panel is equipped with both XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs to easily facilitate the connection of the ACL8 to a wide variety of other outboard gear. By implementing ultra-low-noise circuitry, the ACL8 is a perfect match for compressing vocals or any other delicate sound source. Keep an eye on your dynamics processing thanks to the ACL8's front-panel metering.

Based on the the simple 2-channel ACL2, the ACL8 boasts a Compressor, Limiter, Expander, and Gate and stretches its capabilities to an 8-channel, 2-U model. The ACL 8 provides eight complete dynamic processing strips, and these processors are easy to use with a very low distortion VCA made by THAT for noiseless operation.

Easy to use
The simple, intuitive layout, color scheme and the presence of many illuminated switches make these processors easy to use also by beginners. The ACL8 delivers eight channels of crystal clear compression, brick wall limiting and inaudible noise
gating for the most demanding connoisseurs
