Since its first appearance in 1969, the \u003cstrong\u003eNeve 2254 \u003c\/strong\u003eMono 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.","brand":"Neve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450420654183,"sku":"116073","price":6495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/neve-2254-e-compressor-limiter-single-20201-k-vintage_116073_1.jpg?v=1787092991","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/neve-2254-e-compressor-limiter-single-20201-k-vintage","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
