It's suitable for use in pro audio scenarios, particularly in the studio. This compressor takes the 2254's assets and helps eliminate its limitations by improving the noise floor, expanding the attack/release options, giving you a greater amount of threshold and ratio controls, and minimizing the effects of inter-modulation distortion. The unit uses a diode bridge as a gain control element to give you a pleasing, sonic character.
Controls are on hand for Threshold, Ratio, Timing, Gain, and Blend. These controls are detented for accurate recall. A Link switch lets you operate two of these compressors in stereo.
Meters give you output-level readings or gain-reduction readings. This unit is compatible with any compatible 500-Series chassis. It requires such a chassis to operate.
