AnalogX Chandelier LT2 – Classic British Compressor Emulations, Reimagined

Exclusive to Genesis | Sampled at 96k | Powered by Series 5

Some compressors define an era. The Chandelier 2 takes that legacy into the future.

Introducing AnalogX Chandelier 2, an emulation inspired by one of the most revered British discrete compressors, known for its Class A topology, transformer-driven warmth, and musical response. This compressor became a go-to for mix engineers, prized for its smooth, organic compression and unmistakable tone on drums, bass, vocals, and the mix bus.

Now, with Series 5 technology and Genesis, you can experience the full depth, saturation, and responsiveness of the hardware in a way that was never possible before. This isn’t just an emulation—it’s a transformative work that captures the essence of classic compression and makes it even more flexible for modern production.

A Brief History of the British Discrete Compressor

Born from the golden era of British recording consoles, this compressor lineage was designed to provide smooth, controlled dynamics while enhancing musicality. Unlike modern VCA compressors, its Class A circuit and transformer design introduced a unique harmonic saturation that added warmth and depth, making it a staple in professional studios.

Favoured for its round low-end, smooth midrange, and slightly forward top-end, this compressor became a top choice for punchy drums, thick bass, and mix bus glue. Its ability to add sustain and dimension without over-clamping transients made it legendary.

With AnalogX Chandelier 2, we’ve captured every nuance, ensuring that the compression curves, saturation characteristics, and musical response are true to the original while optimizing it for today’s workflows.
