B172A
Black Lion Audio hit the mark with the widely adored Seventeen compressor. Black Lion has struck again combining the Seventeen’s F.E.T. circuitry with a worthy optical section in the B172A! This unit combines the 76 and 2A circuits into a single unit.
This allows you to route the signal in any order you like to be able to provide this very useful compression technique.
Flexibility was a main goal of the B172A since its initial concept. The AB-BA switch on the B172A allows for quick internal routing of the signal. The two compressors can also be used completely independent of each other when utilizing the 3rd position (link off) on the AB-BA switch. Each circuit can be stereo linked to use B172A’s in stereo.
