2264ALB Limiter / Compressor Issue 1

Introduction

The 2264A LB Limiter / Compressor facilities and performance are
similar to those of a 2254/R Limiter Compressor.

The main advantages of the 2264A LB are it's smaller size and
compatibility with LunchboxTM racks, plus it uses a more advanced circuit
technique, and the response curves it produces are more precise than
those of a 2254/R.

Also it has a switchable Slow Attack feature for applications such as Bus
Compression.

The 2264A LB Limiter / Compressor has been designed for use in
sound broadcast and recording studios where a requirement exists for a
high quality instrument for the control of programme dynamic range.

The unit may also be used for the protection of transmitters from
overloading when the limiter is adjusted for a shorter attack time.

The operational controls and metering are mounted on the front panel of
the unit.
