Presonus Eureka Kompressor/channelstrip

This smart new unit offers EQ and compression, plus a transformer-coupled Class-A preamp and an unusual Saturation control. Despite the rise of the virtual studio, some hardware devices will always remain necessary. Microphones and loudspeakers are clearly indispensable, but so too are decent microphone preamps. The 'channel in a box' units — combining preamp, compression, and equalisation — are consistently popular solutions and, despite the advancing quality of plug-ins, in many cases analogue compression and EQ offer a sound quality or character that most plug-ins can't match. https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/presonus-eureka
