	The xpressor is back! Many of you have asked for this, so we have created this 19“ version which comes in a full aluminum enclosure, making it very light and rock solid at the same time. Further additions to the xpressor are send and return connectors for an external sidechain, plus a superior linear power supply with a shielded toroidal transformer. And just like with our 'bigger' machines, you'll find no cables in the complete audio path at all. Looking for a great sounding and super flexible discrete class-A stereo compressor? The xpressor is shipping right now, and it is more affordable than you might think... The xpressor 500 is now available for $1,499 / 990 €*

Pensado's Place: #32 - Dave Way

Another great episode from Dave Pensado and crew. This one feature Dave Way (Teddy Riley & Guy, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Fiona Apple etc.) a great engineer I had the pleasure of meeting many years ago at Soundworks Studios in New York.

I've actually met a few of the guys featured on Pensado's Place including Jean Marie Horvat and Jimmy Douglass. All great engineer/producers and very cool people.

In this episode Eric Valentine gives a hands on demo of the UndertoneAudio Console that I reviewed in a previous post. 

Make sure you visit Pensado's Place YouTube Channel to view the past episodes.

Thanks Dave, Herb, Drew and all the people involved in the production of Pensado's Place.

Keep up the good work.
