MLA-4
The Relab Maselec MLA-4 is a triband multiband compressor/expander plugin, designed in collaboration with the hardware designer, Leif Mases. The only officially endorsed recreation, it captures the behaviour of the original hardware while adding practical software enhancements. You can shape dynamics across three bands without upsetting the tonal balance, thanks to Auto Spectral Balance working quietly in the background.
Each band offers both compression and expansion, letting you tighten low-end energy, recover transients, or open up high frequencies with control. Per-band THD also gives you the option to introduce harmonic colour exactly where it’s needed. With detailed monitoring options, including band solo and channel-specific listening, you can make adjustments with clarity and confidence rather than guesswork.
MEA-2
The Relab Maselec MEA-2 is a mastering-grade EQ plug-in, the only plugin to be officially endorsed by Maslelec themselves. Built in collaboration with the original hardware designer, Leif Mases, it captures the character and accuracy of the original hardware while adding practical digital enhancements. The hand-tuned asymmetrical Q design lets you shape frequencies in a more natural, ear-led way, helping your decisions feel less clinical and more musical.
Broad shelving gives you smooth, even tonal balance across wide frequency ranges, avoiding harsh peaks or muddy lows. With mid/side control available on every band, you can fine-tune stereo detail exactly where it matters. Add in fast, intuitive controls, and you’ll move through sessions efficiently while maintaining full control over every detail.
