Product Description

Introduced in 1956, the Gates Sta-Level has become legendary in the audio world for its simplicity of design, reliability of operation, and ruggedness of build quality. Initially designed for the radio broadcast industry, the Sta-Level is a basic un-gated automatic gain control compressor. The Sta-Level utilizes three gain stages to achieve a maximum gain of 62 dB (from -55 to +8 dBm). The tubes incorporated in the design are a 6V6 for power output, a 6AL5 for rectifier, and a 6386 for input control. Over the years, this unit has found a home in many studios desiring a unique vintage compressor sound.
