Acme Audio Mfg. Co. proudly presents the Acme Opticom XLA-500, a tube optical audio limiter that delivers a wide range of non-linear, dynamic audio effects. Drawing inspiration from the acclaimed XLA-3, Acme Audio has carefully re-engineered its topology into a compact two-space 500 series module.
At the core of the Acme Opticom XLA-500 Limiter is a distinctive triple optoelectronic circuit, which integrates the best characteristics of three unique compression curves into a single unit. Paired with Cinemag input and output transformers and a class-A gain stage, the Acme Opticom XLA-500 Limiter achieves a versatile tonal palette, ranging from clean to harmonically rich to gritty, with compression curves that span from subtle and slow to fast and aggressive.
Designed as the most versatile 500 series optical limiter available, the Acme Opticom XLA-500 Limiter excels at a variety of tasks. Whether gently controlling the dynamic range of vocals, adding depth and weight to bass, or creating a crushed, punchy drum track, the Acme Opticom XLA-500 Limiter performs each task with exceptional ease, delivering outstanding results for both the user and the listener.
