Ironically, Dave Harrison himself was initially skeptical about compressors, a sentiment shared by his friend and legendary music producer and engineer, Bruce Swedien. Both held the belief that music should be captured authentically, without interference. However, the requirement for a compressor arose from the broadcast market's demands, seeking a tool to control dynamics and prevent clipping. To meet this demand, Harrison Audio ventured into the realm of compressors, with the result proving extremely effective. Its transparent 'leveling' capabilities, achieved with just a few dBs of gain reduction, quickly made it indispensable in music production for delicately smoothing signals, particularly on vocals, guitars, and other instruments with wide dynamic range. Over time, this compressor's ability to 'dig in' became apparent, transforming it into a sought-after vibe compressor when higher levels of gain reduction were applied. Dave Harrison's initial skepticism gave birth to a tool that not only met the broadcast market’s demands but also became relied on in the world of music production.

Discrete Class A\/B circuitry, custom-designed Marinair® transformers, and unique diode bridge design make this processor, with independent compressor and limiter circuitry, unmatched.\n\nMarinair® Transformers\n\nThe 2264ALB uses exclusive Marinair® specification transformers on the input, bridge-driver, sidechain, and output stages to produce analogue characters throughout.\n\nDiode-Bridge Design\n\nThe 2264 compressor, designed in 1974 by Rupert Neve and his Engineers, used pioneering diode-bridge circuitry to achieve analogue compression. This unique design produces smooth yet exact compression curves. The 2264ALB characteristic compression ratio kicks in at 6dB above the threshold point, allowing transients to smooth over the threshold point, reducing overall distortion.\n\nDiscrete Class A\/B Circuitry\n\nThis compact unit faithfully maintains the classic A\/B circuit design from the classic 2264, using original architecture and through-hole wiring for the necessary audio circuitry.\n\nIndependent Limiter Circuit\n\nThe 2264ALB’s compressor and limiter use independent circuitry and controls. This unique layout layers two distinct dynamic processors, such as a hard limiter and soft compressor, on top of each other to create unique compression curves – specifically tailored to your music.\n\nTrue Bypass Switching\n\nWhen the bypass switch is activated, the input terminals are connected directly to the output terminals, allowing for true-bypassing of signals when A\/B’ing the compressor\/limiter.\n\nDual Auto Recovery\n\nThe 2264ALB features a user-settable release time and two automatic recovery times. The auto-recovery options, A1 \u0026amp; A2, work depending on the program material, with isolated peaks benefitting from a rapid recovery time, while long swells are treated with slower recovery.\n\nPPM Ballistic Metering\n\n6-stage LED metering displays overall gain reduction from -2dB to -20dB, achieved using PPM-scale ballistics.\n\nAudio Processing Insert Design\n\nThe 2264ALB’s audio processing insert design allows the compressor to be added as an insert into a 1073LB, or a 1073LB \u0026amp; 1073LBEQ signal path, placed before the 1073LB’s output transformer – create your custom channel strip.\n\nStereo\/Group Linking\n\nMultiple adjacent or non-adjacent 2264ALB’s housed in the same 500 series chassis can be linked together using the link function. When activated, all compressors in the group will share the same control voltage bus for their threshold trigger. In this mode, all compressors form a dynamic group with no ‘master’ in the chain; whichever compressor receives the loudest analogue input becomes the group threshold trigger at any given moment.\n\nBus Compression Mode\n\nTo bring the 2264 Classic up-to-date, the 2264ALB includes a slow attack feature. When two 2264ALB’s are paired \u0026amp; linked together, the slow attack feature enables ideal bus compression attack speeds to add glue to any mix.\n\nGeneral Specification\n\nAudio Performance\n\nParameters\n\nDimensions","brand":"Neve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57959637057919,"sku":"50050","price":999.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"igs-audio-alter-500-b-stock-49901","title":"IGS Audio Alter 500 (B-Stock)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe classic 1176 sound - now in the 500 series\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Alter 500 from IGS Audio brings classic 1176 FET compression to your 500 series rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alter 500 is based on the original '70s UREI 1176 limiting amplifier.

Anyone familiar with those units will immediately be at home with the DS101.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on a single-channel of the DS201 the DS101 is a sophisticated noise gate incorporating a number of features pioneered by Drawmer, which are invaluable to the sound engineer, such as variable high and lowpass filters for \"frequency conscious gating.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOther features include comprehensive envelope control, attack, hold, decay, and range, plus a whole host of other features, all adding up to one amazing processor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen placed side by side in a 500 series rack two or more gates can be linked using the new infra red triggering mechanism employed on the DS101. This means that any number of gates can be linked with each having their own envelope shaping whilst the trigger pulse passes through unchanged, this opens up a whole world of \"envelope follower\" effects limited only by your imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSetting up noise gates can be tedious and unrewarding. For example, when attempting to separate a signal from unwanted noise or crosstalk that is relatively high in level, spurious triggering of the gate by unwanted components within the sound can be a serious problem. This can often be experienced in the studio when recording a drum kit. If a gate is used to clean up the snare drum sound it is quite likely that the nearby hi-hats will spill into the snare drum microphone and cause the gate to open. Increasing the threshold level may cure this problem, but then there is a very real danger that any quieter snare drum beats may not cause the gate to open at all and the performance can easily be ruined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe DRAWMER solution to this problem is the inclusion of two variable filters, one high-pass and one low-pass, which act upon the side-chain keying circuitry. By setting the output switch to key listen the user can hear the action of the filters and adjust them to reject high frequency spillage from the hi-hats. This now enables the gate to only open on the lower frequencies present in the snare drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe very fast attack of the DS101 means that it can open in a matter of micro seconds, thus preserving the natural attack of whatever sound is being gated and the comprehensive envelope controls mean that the gain can be changed at whatever rate best suits the material being processed. With vocals for example, a fairly fast attack is needed so as not to clip the leading consonants but a slower release time will prevent the end of words being clipped off and will also fade out any noise gradually rather than cutting it off abruptly. This latter point is very important as the human ear is far more sensitive to rapidly changing noise levels than to a constant low level noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother important role played by the gate is in the reshaping of existing sounds. An example of this might involve a simple sampling delay line used to store a sound to be re-triggered later and added to a mix. A gate can be used to impart a slower attack or faster decay to the sound and careful setting of the decay envelope can effectively hide any noise present at the end of the sample. When using a sampler or drum machine the gate can be considered a triggered envelope shaper, and the wide range allowed by the envelope controls make the DS101 ideal for this application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit can be switched to accept a key input, which allows the gate to be triggered externally. An example of this would be to use a snare drum signal to open the gate on a separate ambient microphone to create a natural alternative to gated reverb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a rack full of DS101's each can be individually switched from Gating to Ducking for 'voice over' applications or the removal of 'clicks' and 'pops'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drawmer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57959802470783,"sku":"793","price":429.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/1216\/1407\/files\/793-1.jpg?v=1783943171"},{"product_id":"buzz-audio-essence","title":"Buzz Audio Essence","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Buzz Audio Essence is a two-slot 500 Series optical compressor with programme-dependent gain reduction and extended timing controls.

Originally developed for the dynamics circuit of the acclaimed Shelford Channel, the 535 is outfitted with Rupert Neve Designs’ custom transformers and class-A output amplifiers, all tailor-made for the popular 500-series format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost 50 years after Mr. Rupert Neve created his first diode bridge compressor designs, the 535 reimagines the larger-than-life personality of these classic circuits with new levels of precision and adaptability, helping virtually any track shine through a mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Diode Bridge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the VCA compressor found in the 543 and Master Buss Processor provides unmatched clarity, the weighty, harmonically rich tonality of diode bridge compression can be essential in pushing key sources like vocals, electric guitars, bass and drums to the forefront of a mix. Mr. Rupert Neve's original diode bridge compressors like the 2254 served as an inspiration for the design of the 535. By understanding the limitations of the original 2254 topology, painstaking effort was taken to reproduce the unique tone of the 2254 while improving the noise floor, expanding inflexible time constants, adding full wave sidechain detection for improved dynamic response, widening the range of threshold and ratio controls, and raising the headroom of the diode bridge itself. Delivering the powerful sound of these classic designs with enhanced flexibility for the modern age, the 535 is a dynamic tool equipped to make a statement on virtually any track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTiming is Everything\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unified TIMING control is comprised of six selectable settings, carefully chosen for different applications – a major departure from the fixed attack of the 2254. FAST and MF settings are designed to help clamp down on more transient signals like drums, plucked string instruments and fast vocals. MED and MS have slightly slower attacks and releases which can allow more transients through while having a slightly longer recovery. Lastly, SLOW and AUTO are both significantly slower, and are designed for smoother level control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFAST mode increases the speed of both attack and release for each setting, effectively doubling the number of time constants from 6 to 12. The FAST mode also allows for a dramatic increase in speed as compared to the 535’s renowned ancestors, providing significantly more tonal \u0026amp; operational versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFaster TIMING settings will generally lead to higher peak-to-peak control voltage ripple, and therefore induce more harmonic content, translating into more colour in the main audio path. Slower TIMING settings will smooth the control voltage significantly, and thereby reduce the harmonic content added to the audio path, resulting in more transparent compression. It is also worth noting that due to the nature of this topology, these time constants adapt themselves slightly depending on several factors: compression ratio, threshold, and source material. This dynamically generated timing shift and harmonic content is what gives the Diode Bridge Compressor its unique personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Right Blend\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGiven the naturally coloured sonic signature of the 535’s diode bridge, this built-in parallel compression ability is especially useful. The BLEND control allows the user to inject smaller amounts of extreme compression into an otherwise unaffected signal, creating an enhanced yet natural sound that maintains dynamic range with blendable colour and punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTake Control\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the TIMING control, the diode bridge compressor can be further manipulated by the RATIO, THRESHOLD, GAIN, SC HPF and LINK controls. The RATIO control has six selectable positions on the rotary switch and allows the user to set the slope of the compressor curve, with pre-selected ratios of 1.5:1 through 8:1. The THRESHOLD control has 31 detents and allows the user to adjust the point at which compression begins, ranging from -25dBu to +20dBu. The GAIN control has 31 detents to add make-up gain ranging from -6dB to +20dB. The S\/C HPF is 12dB\/octave sidechain high-pass filter with a frequency set to 150Hz. This feature can be immensely useful for making the compressor respond less to the powerful – and often more sustaining – low frequencies in a mix or instrument, which may otherwise give the compressor a more \"mushy\" response. LINK is designed to utilise the 500-series link buss built into many 500 series racks like the R6 or R10 (check your rack’s manual for details). When both units have link engaged and connected, the control voltage is shared between them – so when one unit is triggered, it will trigger the other unit equally. This can often help maintain a solid centre image in a stereo source. Note: for stereo sources, it is always worth auditioning the “unlinked” sound as well, as linking can sometimes clamp down on the effective stereo width when the compressors are triggered by one side.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rupert Neve Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57959828947327,"sku":"7335","price":859.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/1216\/1407\/files\/7335-1.jpg?v=1783943134"},{"product_id":"wes-audio-dione","title":"Wes Audio DIONE","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt implements famous stereo bus compressor design made with best components available on the market.

Ironically, Dave Harrison himself was initially skeptical about compressors, a sentiment shared by his friend and legendary music producer and engineer, Bruce Swedien. Both held the belief that music should be captured authentically, without interference. However, the requirement for a compressor arose from the broadcast market's demands, seeking a tool to control dynamics and prevent clipping. To meet this demand, Harrison Audio ventured into the realm of compressors, with the result proving extremely effective. Its transparent 'leveling' capabilities, achieved with just a few dBs of gain reduction, quickly made it indispensable in music production for delicately smoothing signals, particularly on vocals, guitars, and other instruments with wide dynamic range. Over time, this compressor's ability to 'dig in' became apparent, transforming it into a sought-after vibe compressor when higher levels of gain reduction were applied. Dave Harrison's initial skepticism gave birth to a tool that not only met the broadcast market’s demands but also became relied on in the world of music production.
