TheAcme Opticom XLA-3 MKIII is a single channel all-valve optical limiter inspired by the legendary Teletronix LA-2 and built to exacting military-style specifications.
The Acme Opticom uses a unique triple optoelectronic circuit that combines the best characteristics of three separate compression curves into a single unit, producing a full range of non-linear dynamic effects, offering a wide range of tones from clean to darn right dirty.
 
At its core the Opticom features high-speed cadmium-selenide optical photocells for detection as well as all-valve circuitry and point-to-point wiring. The unit truly exudes quality through and through from the military-grade components employed to its 16 gauge solid steel chassis, feeling reassuringly solid. The addition of custom-ordered bakelite analogue control knobs, full-sized backlit panel meters and Neutrik/cliff connectors also ensures the Opticom will provide years of reliable performance for many years to come.
