980 Spark MkII

Vintage pre-amp warmth, modern precision.

980 Spark MkII blends the warmth of a vintage pre-amp with modern digital precision. Built for fast, intuitive work in sound design and mastering, it shapes the spectral, dynamic and harmonic content of your sound at the same time.

Under the hood it brings together the precision of Compressor ONE, the character of the Musiqual EQ series and the power of 990 Spark Multiband.

Why the 980

• Dynamics and colour together: transparent compression (Punch, Ctrl, Glue) with Tube, Class A or FET colour
• A deep saturation engine: 10 algorithms, from waveshaping to analogue distortion emulation, controlled from an XY screen with dedicated filters
• Modular by design: rearrange the processing modules on the fly
• Ready to go: 76 built-in presets, your own user presets and 4x oversampling for clarity
