The Hazelrigg Industries VNE is a premium, handcrafted single-channel compressor designed for precise dynamics control without affecting the tonal quality of the source material. Part of the Hazelrigg Industries Solutions Series, the Hazelrigg Industries VNE is a versatile device ideal for both recording and mixing, allowing for subtle or pronounced control over dynamics while maintaining full sound transparency.
The Hazelrigg Industries VNE features an all-Class A vacuum tube audio path, and an innovative Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) circuit drives the compression, providing dynamic control without unwanted tonal artifacts. Developed in collaboration with D.W. Fearn, this advanced design combines the classic sound of a tube compressor with the modern precision of PWM, delivering a high-transparency tool that meets the demands of any professional.
