Description

The Wes Audio DIONE is a fully analog, iconic VCA compressor, now enhanced with digital recall for seamless workflow integration.The legendary sound of the stereo bus compressor has been a cornerstone of countless recordings for over 40 years. Often referred to as “mixbus glue,” this compression style has set the industry standard.

The first and most important feature of _DIONE is that it’s a 100% analog device with +24dBu of headroom. Despite its digital control capabilities, the signal path remains fully analog, delivering the authentic VCA compression sound you expect.

It uses two THAT 2181 VCAs in the signal chain and an additional two in the sidechain detector for optimal performance.
