Up for sale is this amazing Prism Sound Maselec MLA-2 Stereo Mastering Compressor Limiter
The MLA-2 is just too refined to sit around unused. It deserves to be in a signal chain where its surgical clarity and dynamics finesse can actually shine.
This is one of those pieces you don’t sell lightly — if you're here, you probably already know what the MLA-2 brings to the table. It's transparent when you need it to be, but with just the right kind of attitude when pushed.
It’s lived in a smoke-free studio, always racked and babied. All knobs, switches, and meters are in great working condition.
Whether you're smoothing transients in a 2-bus chain or gently rounding peaks in a mastering setup, the MLA-2 delivers that unmistakable Maselec polish. It’s quiet, it’s musical, and it never gets in the way of the music.
I will ships it worldwide, packed safely and ready to work.
