The company is best known for its microphone preamplifiers and analog signal processors, including the HV-3 series of transformerless mic preamps (offered in 2-, 4-, 8-, and 16-channel configurations), the NSEQ parametric equalizer, the TCL-2 Twin Topology compressor/limiter, and the STT-1 Origin channel strip, which pairs solid-state and vacuum-tube signal paths in a single unit. Other catalog staples include the M-2b vacuum-tube preamp and HV-35 500-series module, alongside phono preamps for analog playback and Dante/MADI interface options for larger installations.

The brand has received industry recognition over the years, and founder John La Grou was inducted into the Technology Hall of Fame in 2019.
