Known for its silky-smooth, velvety tone, the RS124 has a fixed attack time that isn't super-fast, allowing even more aggressive threshold settings to deliver pleasing results. It was among the most important pieces of analog gear shaping the sound at Abbey Road and has since become a "holy grail" compressor with almost mythical prestige. In particular, it is said to be responsible for some of the best bass sounds ever captured on tape.
