AMS Neve 2254/R Mono Limiter/Compressor

AMS Neve 2254/R Mono Limiter/Compressor The AMS Neve 2254/R is an exacting replica of the original 2254 80-series console compressor in rackmountable form, with save and recall of settings via USB (Mac/PC). Like so many of Mr. Rupert Neve's designs, the 2254 mono Limiter/Compressor unit quickly became a legend. It started out as a 2-bus compressor in 80-series consoles. Later, when it was made available as outboard as a mono compressor, its shape was an unmountable rectangular cuboid. From there, the 2254 went through three revisions*, including the 2254A, 2254E, and the current revision, the 2254/R. Not only does it retain the original 2254's smooth, rich sonics and gain-reduction characteristics, by virtue of using the same architecture, matching components, and original hand-wound transformers, it also enhances it with modern user-requested features. Now in an easily rack-mountable 1U form, the 2254/R allows settings to be saved and recalled using Neve Total Recall software via USB.
