Waves Abbey Road RS124 Compressor

The Holy Grail of Vintage Smooth Compressors

You've heard the original units on almost everything the Beatles recorded at Abbey Road. You've heard it, most famously, on Paul McCartney’s immortal bass lines. There’s a reason why Abbey Road considered these heavily modified Altec compressors their “secret weapon.”

More recently, the RS124 sound has been a favorite of Grammy-winning mix engineer Tony Maserati, taking advantage of its unique compression tone on Beyoncé's and Alicia Keys' vocals.

Rescued from the Abbey road archives, several original RS124 units were restored to fully operational status in 2000. And now, thanks to Waves’ meticulous modeling, the RS124’s legendary sound is yours.

  • Unique compression for vocals, beats, bass, synths and mix buses
  • Designed in close collaboration with Abbey Road Studios
  • Two RS124 versions with different tube flavors: Studio and Cutter
  • Super Fuse mode adds explosive, aggressive compression sound
  • Mono, stereo, left, right, mid, and sides processing and monitoring
  • Optional Auto Hold feature reduces compression artifacts
  • Sidechain highpass filter can beef up compressed bass or kick
  • Dry/mix controls for parallel, “New York style” compression
  • Optional high-frequency roll-off for softer tones
  • Presets by Beatles remixer Guy Massey and many more artists
