Joemeek SC-2 500 Optical Compressor

Known for its smooth, musical compression and unmistakable British character, the SC2 is designed to add warmth, control and cohesion without making the source feel flat or over-processed. Its photo-optical circuit reacts naturally to the incoming signal, making it ideal for vocals, instruments, drum overheads, stereo groups and mix bus use.

Simple controls, analogue tone and stereo-linked operation make the SC2 500 a practical choice for adding classic “glue” and character to modern studio setups.
