al.so

ALternate SOundings is a french high-end pro audio equipment company that designs outboards and professional tools for sound engineers, producers and musicians.

The 2002-established company is lead by Olivier Bolling, a multi-skills audio professional who has been working in the pro audio world for almost 25 years.

The brand introduces its first Sound Tools at the 2006 AES show in Paris : DYNAX and EZAX, 2 different versions of the same compressor, with the unavoidable «Anti-Dyna» mode that allows crazy sound shaping and dynamic controls.

DYNAX then becomes DYNAX ² a stereo version of the original-featured compressor and is presented at the AES shows of Vienna and NYC, in 2007.

AL.SO then releases a new range of fully-compatible 500-format modules, that shows some innovations : Double preamp/DI unit in a single 500 module (MP²), summing mixer module (M²B and M²6) and monitoring section unit…

All these units combined allowing 32 channels max of summing and monitoring controls…in one API Lunch Box!!

October 2009, the company introduces HELLAX, a high-quality multi-purpose mono compressor/limiter for tracking and mixing that allows light compression to total dynamic control of various types of instruments and voices.

Now the company is working on some new projects. To be continued…
