Opto-cell limiter

The Brute is one of the most well suited compressor/limiters within the 500 series format to obtain a "high-end" vocal sound. It will add warmth and presence to your vocal, bringing out a breathy and airy quality while also smoothing out peaks and bringing the vocal up front in your mix. The Brute is also excellent for guitars, bass, and anywhere else and smooth and warm optical limiter can be of use.
