527A Compressor/Limiter

About

527A Compressor/Limiter is an outboard or monitor controller by API. It offers feed-forward and feed-back gain reduction, selectable from the front panel. A DC link lets two or more units be combined for stereo and multichannel applications. Its output level stays fairly constant when the threshold or ratio controls are changed.

What it sounds like

A SOFT/HARD knee switch selects a gentle over-easy compression or a sharp knee for harder limiting. It uses 2510 and 2520 discrete op-amps.
