Since its first appearance in 1969, the Neve 2254 Mono Limiter\/Compressor has become a legend. With all-discrete Class A circuitry, transformer-coupled inputs, and many innovations - like its bridge-driver design - the 2254 created a totally unique sound that can only be described as 'Neve'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe famous 2254 series of compressor limiters had its birth in the Neve 2253, which was a limiter designed for broadcast use in accordance with the Experimental and Development Department (EDD) of the Independent Broadcast Authority (IBA), a regulatory body set up in the UK in 1972.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy adding a compression side chain to the original design, the 2254 was born. In its original configuration, the 2254 was used in both broadcast and recording consoles as built-in units, usually as part of the meter bridge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike many other compressors, the 2254 does not use a FET, opto-attenuator or VCA to create gain reduction, but employs a diode bridge for this purpose, which is biased by the compressor and the limiter. This creates about a 40dB loss at the attenuator and another 20dB at the gain make up stage, thus requiring about 60db of gain, which is accomplished by lowering the attenuation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eseparate Limit and Compress in\/out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRatio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput\/Control\/Output metering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain Makeup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreshold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimit Level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable Limit Recovery : 100ms, 200ms, 800ms and Auto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable Compression Recovery : 400ms, 800ms, 1.5s and Auto.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Neve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449453408359,"sku":"31967","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/vka_3u_rack_neve_2254_loaded_8cd5332a-cca0-4225-8d0c-e77f30e50ec9.jpg?v=1787089015","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/neve-2254-a-pair-6136-6296-in-vk-rack-vintage","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
