FMR Audio RNLA Really Nice Levelling Amplifier RNLA7239 – stereo opto-style compressor in compact 1/3 rack enclosure, designed to add color and texture to signals. Inspired by classic opto-compressors, it "levels" rather than tames transients, offering warm, thick tone ideal for vocals, bass, acoustic guitars, and stereo mixes. Lightweight chassis (140 x 40 x 120 mm, 0.5 kg) with red knob accent.
RNLA7239 uses archived RNC algorithm for "not invisible" compression, with slow attack/release for organic character. Controls: Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Output. Balanced TRS/XLR I/O, sidechain insert. Low noise and high headroom for pro use. Differs from RNC in hardware and software for unique "gooey" sound.
As versatile tool, RNLA7239 blends vintage warmth with modern reliability, ready for studio or live without compromise.
