Lush, Airy, Top End For Vocals

Bogren (formerly Bogren Digital) has released A-Class Vocal. A spokesperson told us, "Born from a custom-modified Type-A unit pulled from the studio of a top Swedish songwriter, A-Class Vocal brings the true character of this legendary processor into the modern workflow, giving vocals a lush, airy top end no EQ can touch." Here's more detailsin the company's own words...

A-Class Vocal
That lush air around a vocal. The silky sheen that makes you lean in. Some studio tricks stick around for a reason.

A-Class Vocal gives vocals a gorgeous, open top end, or lets guitars, drums, and synths in on the secret. Find your presence, then try mixing without it.

    •    Modeled on a custom-modified Type-A unit from a top Swedish songwriter's studio
    •    A unique blend of tone shaping and dynamics that smooths and lifts the top end
    •    Three simple controls: DRIVE, MIX, and MOD
    •    MOD mode for extra rich harmonics and glue
    •    Built for vocals, and just as at home on acoustic guitars, overheads, synths, and the mix bus

Misused in 1966. Iconic ever since.
Long before plugins, engineers discovered a beautiful side effect of Type-A noise-reduction hardware: used creatively, it could give recordings a luxurious, airy sheen.

It's not just brighter. By removing the decoding stage of the noise-reduction processing, you're left with a unique blend of tone shaping and dynamics that smooths and lifts the top end in a way that made the technique an instant favorite on vocal chains.

A-Class Vocal captures that character from a hardware unit sourced from the studio of a leading Swedish songwriter. The classic sound, without the vintage-hardware ritual.

Follow Your Ears
Turn up the DRIVE to find the perfect sheen. Use the MIX to tuck it in or push it forward. MOD offers an alternative flavor with additional rich harmonics, and a glue that can replace a large portion of your vocal chain.

Limited controls, limitless character.

Don't Stop at Vocals
The shimmer of an acoustic guitar. The sheen of overheads. A little extra glow around a synth.

Start with your vocal, then try A-Class Vocal wherever the track could use some air, even on your mix bus.

You'll Miss It When It's Gone
Sometimes the best way to appreciate a finishing touch is to take it away.

Dial it in. Hit bypass. Hear what you've been missing.
