"  The Phoenix was the first Thermionic Culture product -we’ve put a few little revisions in, but it’s still the same as the original " Vic Keary

Thermionic Culture Phoenix Classic Vari-Mu style British hand made compressor. A beautifully made and wonderful sounding compressor that has found a natural home in many studios looking for warm, clean and musical tube stereo compression with modern features.

This now the standard version, with improvements made over the original as it now contains a Side Chain Filter and a Stand By switch, which allows it to go into a low power mode.

The Side Chain filter operates from 150Hz or 300Hz
