GREY PRO 2 is the next evolution of Acustica’s multi-model VCA compressor, bringing three distinct compression characters into a single unified workflow.

Enhanced with dedicated NOVA-powered preamps for each model, GREY PRO 2 combines vintage punch, tube-inspired warmth, and transparent dynamic control with harmonic richness, analog-style saturation, and modern operational flexibility.

Designed for mixing engineers working across tracks, buses, and full mixes, GREY PRO 2 is available in VST3, AAX, and AU formats for macOS and Windows.





Inspired by the originals. Expanded for modern production.

Classic compressors were designed for a single purpose. GREY PRO 2 is designed for modern production.

By combining three compressor personalities with NOVA-powered saturation, Mid-Side processing, advanced metering, Auto Gain, and extended dynamic shaping tools, GREY PRO 2 goes beyond hardware recreation and becomes a complete dynamics workstation for mixing and bus processing.

Vintage character when you want it. Modern flexibility when you need it.


Key Features
  • Unified multi-model compressor plugin
  • Three distinct VCA compressor models, each with a unique and clearly differentiated sonic character
  • Brand-new dedicated analog-style preamplification stage for each model
  • NOVA hybrid processing technology
  • Standard and Extended interface modes
  • Real-time metering system
Two Views. One Workflow

GREY PRO 2 adapts to the way you work.

The STD view provides a streamlined, hardware-inspired interface designed for fast operation and immediate results. When deeper analysis is needed, the EXT view expands the workflow with advanced metering, real-time visual feedback, and additional monitoring tools.

About NOVA

NOVA, short for Neural Optimized Volterra Audio, is Acustica’s hybrid architecture combining our Vectorial Volterra Kernels-based technology with advanced neural audio modeling.

At lower signal levels, Volterra dynamic convolution ensures an accurate and stable response. As the signal increases, a neural processing stage progressively contributes, allowing smoother saturation and more natural harmonic development.

This hybrid system ensures continuity across the dynamic range and avoids abrupt transitions between clean and driven behavior.

It's cool that you did the 165 but you should have also done the 160VU and 160X. No one has ever asked for 160SL and 566 plugins.
