An input (threshold) control and output (make-up gain) control are provided, along with an additional \"Ceiling\" fine-tune function which can increase gain reduction (lower threshold) while simultaneously raising output level to match, so the user can alter dynamics \"on the fly\" without level changes. A compression\/limit switch sets ratio at either 2:1 or 20:1. Attack time is as fast as 15u\/s. Four auto release modes are offered via two switches, 0.1s, 0.5s, 1.5s, \u0026amp; 2.0s. A De-Ess function inserts an inverse vocal energy curve filter in the detector for effective sibilance\/pop reduction. The 525 design has been taken from the original blue prints and spec control drawings from the API archives.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eRelease times vary with frequency, with high frequency \/ full bandwidth content released faster than lower frequencies for natural envelope tracking. Attack time is fixed, chosen to catch the fastest peaks, without \"pumping\". Equally useful as a tracking, mix-down or program compressor\/limiter, the 525 utilizes \"vintage\" dynamics control and an easy to use multi-function control set. The 525 has a hard-wire bypass switch, a balanced input, and a pinout that is the same as all the other 500 series modules. Two or more 525s can be linked for multi-channel compression.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe API 525 Compressor makes use of the 2510 and 2520 op-amps and exhibits the reliability, long life, and uniformity which are characteristic of all API products.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"API Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450993864807,"sku":"191075","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/api-525-500-series-compressor-limiter-reissue-2694-15-used_191075_1_4da50361-3292-4a1b-83b7-b30e6a4b30f0.jpg?v=1787095406","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/api-525-500-series-compressor-limiter-reissue-2694-15-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
