The Rupert Neve Designs OptoFET Dual-stage Compressor is a marvel of modern audio engineering, seamlessly combining the precision of FET compression with the warmth of optical circuits. This versatile unit is designed to meet the rigorous demands of tracking, mixing, and mastering, offering complete control over your sound. With its Dual Stage and Dual Band modes, the OptoFET can handle everything from transparent vocal smoothing to powerful, frequency-dependent tone shaping.

Each compressor section boasts independent controls, including variable Attack, Release, Threshold, and Blend, allowing for precise manipulation of dynamics. The Grit and Bloom modes further enhance sonic possibilities, introducing harmonic richness tailored to your material. Whether you want to accentuate the upper frequencies with the FET's Grit or add low-end warmth with the Opto's Bloom, this compressor provides an unparalleled audio palette.

The intuitive front panel layout, featuring high-quality, 31-detent pots, ensures precise adjustments and easy recall of settings. The OptoFET also includes a crossover control, offering flexible handling of high and low frequencies in Dual Band mode. Rear connections include Neutrik XLR combo jacks and a custom RND transformer-coupled output for that signature Rupert Neve sound. Crafted in the USA with military-grade components, the OptoFET is built to last, making it an essential tool for any serious audio professional.
