Black Lion Level-Loc – Brutal Classic Meets Modern Versatility
Black Lion Audio, in collaboration with Shure, has reissued the legendary Level‑Loc compressor from the 1960s in a boutique format. Originally designed as a basic speech limiter, this device has become a secret weapon among engineers. It’s a cult classic known for aggressive compression, saturation, and character-enhancing destruction of sound.
Product Features
The Level‑Loc delivers powerful, fixed-ratio compression that crushes the signal in the best possible way. It adds thick, rich saturation – from subtle coloring to complete audio annihilation. It’s a creative tool made for bold producers and sound designers.
Analog Compression with Attitude – A Sound That Crushes
The Level‑Loc offers a distinctive tone: raw, saturated, and analog. With its built-in Mix knob, it supports parallel compression. The vintage-style “Distance Selector” controls the compression threshold intensity. Ideal for drum buses, vocals, guitars, or any sound you want to push to the edge.
Product Applications
Perfect for recording studios, live mixing, or experimental producer setups. Ideal for sound design, adding grit to a mix, and enhancing presence. Especially suited for genres like rock, hip-hop, lo-fi, and experimental music.
