The Variable Mu Limiter Compressor is the GLUE that holds the mix together while crystallizing it into a professional, final product. All-tube, all transformer, an all-American legend. High Pass Side Chain mod now comes standard.

Attack: Dictated by T4BLA optocell

Release: Dictated by T4BLA optocell

Ratio: Program-dependent

76- (Seventeen) and 2A-style compression in a single 2RU chassis

A/B, B/A, and Independent signal routing switchable on faceplate

CineMag 2A input transformer

Reference-Class 4-Channel Expander/Gate/Compressor/Peak Limiter with Dynamic Enhancer.

Switchable IKA (Interactive Knee Adaptation) program-adaptive compression circuitry combines the advantages of hard-knee and soft-knee characteristics. IRC (Interactive Ratio Control) expander/gate circuitry for virtually inaudible noise suppression.

Attack time: 20us - 800us

Release time: 50ms - 1100ms

Compression ratio : 4:1; 8:1; 12:1; 20:1
