The Avalon VT-747SP is a premium audio processor that combines a tube and discrete modeled Class A opto-compressor with a six-band program equalizer, designed to deliver smooth and musical signal conditioning. It is ideal for stereo buss compression, keyboard processing, and mastering tasks, offering precise control over dynamics and tonal shaping. The unit features output level and gain reduction metering, allowing users to monitor performance with clarity.

Developed in collaboration with Avalon Design, the VT-747SP Native plugin offers comprehensive dynamic control ranging from gentle compression to hard-knee limiting. Users can adjust threshold, compression ratio, attack, and release settings to tailor the response to their needs. The large analog-style VU meter provides visual feedback on gain reduction, while the side-chain path includes low and high frequency contour controls for frequency-dependent compression. A side chain listen mode enables easy monitoring and creative equalization applications.

The six-band graphic equalizer models the smooth response of an all-passive design, with carefully selected frequency, Q, and amplitude settings to maintain natural harmonic balance and minimal phase shift. The EQ can be positioned before or after compression for flexible tonal control. Additionally, users can choose between a warm tube tone using virtual triode tubes or a classic Class A discrete transistor sound in the signal path, enhancing the sonic character and versatility of this high-end processing tool.
