The WesAudio Rhea is a dual-channel 500 Series Tube compressor inspired by vintage compressors and includes advanced digital controls, A/B functionality, Mid/Side mode processing and more.
The WesAudio Rhea offers an impressive +24dBu of headroom making it suitable of mixbuss and mastering applications. It provides a warm, classic sound that can be pushed even further thanks to the THD control which adds additional harmonic distortion. Two flavours are on offer, switching between medium and high frequency focused saturation.
While the signal path is 100% analogue, the Rhea makes use of digital controls, offering ultimate precision as well as easy recall. Connected to USB or through an NG500 compatible chassis, the Rhea can also be controlled directly from the DAW via the included plugin that works as VST, AU, RTAS and AAX. The Plugin allows for automation controls as well as controls over the individual channels.
