Considering the HCL Solution is just over a grand for 2(!) channels and LA2A is close to $3K for 1 channel, that's a hell of a deal. For the price of 1 channel of LA2A you can get 4 channels of HCL S2!

I also ordered the mic - it's actually already been shipped. Any day now. It would be interesting to hear your feedback on the mic. Your credentials are very impressive. It would be super cool to find out that an HCL leveller or mic (or both) were used on the next Janet Jackson or Christina Aguillera hit. Please do tell if that happens!
