Product Description


  • Original Design Circa 1969
  • The Fastest Analog Compressor/Limiter - 100 Nanoseconds to 20 Microseconds
  • Ultra Low Noise: Not Less Than 80dB Below +4dBu Output With -40dBu Input (Threshold), 20Hz to 20kHz, Unweighted
  • Input/Output - Transformer Isolation
  • Frequency Response +/- 1dB, 20Hz to 20kHz, @ +16dBu
  • Input Impedance: 600 ohms
  • Output Impedance - Approximately 120 ohms (1 kHz), Floating
  • Output Loading - 600 ohms to Infinity, balanced or unbalanced
  • Maximum Gain: 56 dB
  • Input Level: Typically -50 dBu to +10 dBu
  • Threshold Attack Level: 40 dBu
  • Output level: Typically +4 dBu or +8 dBu
  • Frequency Response:
  • +/- 1 dB, 20 Hz to 40 kHz, at +16 dBu (High Z Load)
  • +/- 5 dB, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, at +16 dBu (600 ohm load)
  • Harmonic Distortion: Less than 1/10 of 1%, 30 Hz to 20kHz, at +16 dBu, up to 30 dB compression, with release time such that attack and release does not occur on successive peaks of the lowest frequency utilized (Typically less than 5/100ths of 1%)
  • Compression/Limiting Ratio - Continuously Variable from approximately 11:1 to 100:1
  • Attack Time (Automatically Variable):
  • Limiter - 100 nanoseconds to 20 microseconds
  • Compressor - 100 nanoseconds to 12 milliseconds
  • Release Time For 90% Recovery:
  • Limiter - Less than 90 nanoseconds
  • Compressor - Continuously variable from 50 milliseconds to more than 10 seconds
  • Maximum Temperature - 140 degrees Farenheit
  • Power Requirement - 105 - 125 VAC, 60 Hz 6 watts
  • Physical Dimensions - 3 1/2" high x 19" x 8 1/2" deep for standard rack
  • Stereophonic Interconnection - Two units are coupled easily Requires Model 610 SI Accessory for Interconnection
