Amek 9098 Stereo Compressor (Used)

The SYSTEM 9098 Dual Compressor/Limiter, designed by Rupert Neve, provides Compression, Limiting and Ambience controls on each channel. The two channels may be linked for stereo operation. Firmly based on the performance and character of the historical 2254 Compressor developed by Rupert in the 1960's, this new unit incorporates the progression in his design concepts over the past thirty years. A greater degree of operational flexibility is coupled with a much higher overall performance specification. However, traditional features which have been Rupert's hallmark have been retained, notably the transformer-coupled inputs and outputs.

"The inclusion of a Compressor/Limiter in my System 9098 product family is justified by the continuing popularity of the famous old 2254 devices I designed in the late 1960's. More than 25 years later, their performance undeniably still brings benefits to engineers and producers seeking inconspicuous control over the dynamic range of microphone signals. The same principles have been applied to the System 9098 Compressor/Limiter. Considerable advances have been made in technology and I am now able to provide a much more flexible device which retains all of the character and musicality of the original design while incorporating some exciting new features."
