Great stereo opto-compressor for bus compression and overall mix compression.

The MC2 is a professional studio-quality stereo compressor in a compact half-rack format. Simple to use yet extremely powerful, the MC2 by Joemeek will bring out the best in any line-level stereo material and give the gloss of a professional studio to all your performances. It can be used for both recording/mastering, and live work.

Think of the MC2 as three separate pieces of equipment: •A line level stereo preamplifier
•A stereo Joemeek compressor
•A stereo width processor

As Joe Meek always said, "If it sounds right, it is right." The MC2 will make your mixes sound right.
