Smooth Compression, Perfect Clarity

From subtle smoothing to brickwall limiting, the AEA 1029 provides ultra-clean compression that you have to hear to believe

The AEA 1029 utilizes a proprietary discrete op-amp design by Fred Forssell and two THAT 4305 VCA chips run off of a single RMS detector being fed by the summed input signals. This design results in a versatile compressor with a clear and balanced sound perfect for taming vocals or smashing drum overheads. Designed to pair well with our TRP and RPQ series preamps, the 1029 Stereo VCA compressor is perfect for recording and/or mixing stereo microphones.

Packed into a sleek, half-rack design – the AEA 1029 is perfect for desktop use or for those looking to save space in their rack. But don’t let its size fool you, the 1029 is a full-featured compressor that packs a punch. With 3 position Sensing Time (Peak Fast, Slow, and RMS) and a variable ratio from 1:1 – Limit, the 1029 can go from subtle to extreme as you see fit. Equally at home in a bedroom or professional studio, the AEA 1029 is the perfect addition to any engineer’s toolkit.
