AMS Neve 2254R mono Limiter/Compressor with recall

One of the most appealing aspects of the Neve 2254 is its straightforward and intuitive feature set, which lets you dial up the perfect setting in an instant. The 2254/R comprises a limiter and compressor that can be used independently or in series. The brickwall-style limiter is ideal for preventing clipping while tracking and for reigning in harsh transients during mixdown; it includes variable recovery times (stepped at 100ms, 200ms, and 800ms), along with an AUTO mode, which adjusts the recovery time according to the source audio.

Additionally, the limiter section features a fixed 5ms default slow attack and an optional fast attack mode, with continuously variable attack speeds between 100ms and 2ms. The 2254/R’s compressor section includes a ratio control with five settings (1.5:1. 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, and 6:1), a –20dB to +10dB threshold control, gain makeup, and recovery control with 400ms, 800ms, 1.5s, and AUTO settings. Whether you’re looking to subtly shape the dynamics of a track or aggressively smash them for colorful, pumping compression, the AMS Neve 2254/R has you covered.
