From the seller
Cosmetically Good-Very Good condition, excellent / tip top working condition. Used very lightly. Housed in an API Lunchbox in a smoke free/ dust free studio. Close up photos provided so you can clearly see minor cosmetic issues.
Design Type: Solid-state, peak-detecting "feedback" compressor using API 2510 and 2520 op-amps. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Ratios: Switchable between 2:1 (Compression) and 20:1 (Limiting). [1]
Attack Time: Fixed at an ultra-fast 15 microseconds. [1, 2]
Release Modes: Four switchable modes (0.1s, 0.5s, 1.5s, and 2.0s) featuring frequency-dependent behavior where high frequencies release faster than low frequencies for natural tracking. [1, 2]
Ceiling Control: A unique multi-function knob that lowers the threshold while simultaneously raising the output makeup gain, letting you change compression amount on the fly without altering the overall output volume. [1, 2]
De-Esser Function: Inserts an inverse vocal energy curve filter into the detector circuit to reduce sibilance and pops. [1]
Metering: Illuminated analog VU meter displaying gain reduction up to 25 dB. [1, 2]
