Wes Audio Mimas compressor

WesAudio MIMAS is a next-generation 500 series implementation of the classic FET compressor, now enhanced with digital recall and plugin control for seamless DAW integration.

Key Features

Carnhill Transformers – Core to the Tone

At the heart of _MIMAS are premium Carnhill transformers, delivering the warm, punchy character that defined a generation of compression.

Pure Analog Path – +24dBu Headroom

Despite its digital control capabilities, _MIMAS is a fully balanced analog processor, offering up to +24dBu of headroom. The audio path remains 100% analog, delivering uncompromising classic FET compression.

Selectable Ratios + “All Buttons In” Mode

Choose from classic ratios:
• 4:1, 8:1 for compression
• 12:1, 20:1 for limiting
• Activate the legendary “All Buttons In” mode for aggressive, character-rich compression. True to its roots, this mode operates fully in the analog domain.

Saturation Mode – Color Without Compression

Add analog character and harmonic richness without engaging compression. A dedicated saturation knob lets you dial in the desired amount of coloration, streamlining workflows that traditionally required fine-tuning input/output gain.

ng500 and 500 Series Compatible

_MIMAS is fully compatible with both standard 500 series racks and WesAudio’s ng500 format. When used with the _TITAN chassis, all connected modules can be controlled via a single USB or Ethernet cable.

Note: ng500 is an extension of the 500 series format that enables digital control, recall, and automation.

Advanced Control & Workflow Features

A/B Comparison at the Push of a Button

Even in full analog mode, _MIMAS lets you switch instantly between two independent control states—perfect for quick A/B comparisons during mixing or mastering.

Total Recall & Plugin Control

_MIMAS includes full plugin control via VST2/VST3, AU, AAX, and AAX DSP, making it compatible with all major DAWs. Save, recall, and automate settings right from your session—total integration for a modern hybrid workflow.

Analog Automation

Automate analog parameters like any plugin—draw automation curves in your DAW and _MIMAS will follow. With four touch-sensitive encoders, you can even record automation directly into your DAW.
