Bogren A-Class Vocal

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.

Born from a custom-modified Type-A unit sourced from the studio of a certain Swedish songwriter, A-Class Vocal brings a legendary studio trick into your modern workflow.

Its unique blend of tone shaping, harmonics and dynamics gives vocals a gorgeous, open top end that EQ alone can’t deliver - or lets guitars, drums and synths in on the secret.

Dial it in, then try mixing without it.

Misused in 1966, Iconic Ever Since

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

It's not just brighter, by using the encoding stage without decoding the signal afterward, engineers turned noise reduction into a distinctive enhancement technique.

Its blend of tone shaping, harmonics and dynamics lifts the top end, adding air and presence that made it a favorite for vocals.

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

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 it 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, toggle bypass, and hear what you’ve been missing.
