Tegeler Audio Schwerkraftmaschine - Remote Controllable Vari-Mu Mastering & Bus Compressor

The Tegeler Audio Schwerkraftmaschine is a premium 2U stereo Vari-Mu tube compressor and mastering processor, hand-built in Germany to deliver the legendary glue, warmth, and musical dynamics of classic tube compressors. Powered by four NOS 6BA6 tubes and custom transformers, it offers smooth, organic compression with rich harmonic coloration, while full digital recall and automation via USB/Ethernet/plugin bring modern workflow precision. With six attack/release times, progressive ratio/threshold, side-chain filtering, and stereo linking, the Schwerkraftmaschine is the ultimate tool for mix bus, mastering, drums, bass, vocals, and groups.

Classic Vari-Mu Compression

The Vari-Mu (remote cutoff) tube circuit uses NOS 6BA6 pentodes for smooth, program-dependent dynamics with natural harmonic richness. Six attack/release times and progressive ratio/threshold provide everything from transparent levelling to aggressive glue and “All Buttons In” character. The compressor adds depth, cohesion, and analogue soul without harshness, making it a go-to for buss duties and final polish.

Remote Control & Recall

Full digital recall and automation via USB, Ethernet, or the included VST3/AU/AAX plugin allow instant preset loading, parameter changes, and session recall. Stepped controls ensure perfect stereo matching, while the plugin integrates seamlessly into your DAW for hands-on or automated mixing. The Schwerkraftmaschine combines vintage tube magic with 21st-century convenience.
