Manny Marroquin (Usher, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, Duffy, Rihanna, Donna Summer, Jil Scott, Jennifer Lopez, Maria Carey, Pitbul…) www.mannymarroquin.com« The AL.SO Dynax2 is one of the most versatile compressors I have ever used. It sounds amazing on everything from bass, snares, vocals, and even the stereo bus of a mix. I have a room full of classic compressors and the Dynax2 has definitely become one of my ‘go to’ pieces of gear! »

« I use ALSO machines from years ( DYNAX2, M26…) on tour and during studio sessions. I love the way they react and the philosophy of the brand! »

« I love the Dynax! In my opinion, it’s one of the most original designs to come out in a long while. It’s a little hard to describe unless you’ve used one. It’s like how the company describes it : a sound shaper… (…) You can go very subtle or very aggressive with the four compression settings. The last setting which he calls « antidyna » is very fun to use indeed. It gives you some extreme limiting where you can achieve reverse cymbal effects very easily, for example. I really couldn’t compare it with any one compressor. This is my latest favorite toy and I tell everyone about. He’s got some other things cooking which he just hinted at but didn’t go into details. If they’re anything like the dynax, then i’m sure they’ll have a unique way of processing your sound as well…. Bravo Olivier for designing an outstanding and unique compressor! » www.russelevado.com

« Of course, Dynax2, the fastest limiter I have ever experienced, can create some extreme effects, but don’t overlook its superior sound when used as a normal compressor. This box sounds, in a word, CLEAR! Dynamics can be precisely controlled without introducing any artifacts. While mixing yhe latest release by artist Francis Cabrel, « Des Roses et Des Orties », I used the Dynax2 extensively on the lead voice, and occasionally on bass.
