ASHLY CLX 52 Stereo Compressor Limiter

  The CLX Series compressor/limiters use an "infinite soft-knee" characteristic and timing based on compression ratio. This, combined with a dual release time, allows program density to increase as the input signal increases. The result is a peak controller with very low noise, smooth sound, and excellent stereo tracking without the usual "constricted" limiter sound. The CLX-51 and CLX-52 have many ways to deal with any gain structure. The mechanical design is ready for years of rugged service and we back our quality with Ashly's exclusive Five Year Worry-Free Warranty. The CLX series is extremely useful for such diverse applications as loudspeaker protection, vocal level control, broadcast limiting, musical instrument sustain, special effects, and CD to cassette transfers.  

The Multicom Pro-XL MDX4600 gives you 4 channels of first-class dynamic
control in a single rack space. With a multitude of new features like the
advanced program-adaptive expander gate, extensive metering plus a variety
of configuration options, the Multicom Pro-XL puts a lot of dynamic processing
power in your rack.
