We have just received two 2254R Compressor/Limiters from AMS Neve, UK.
They are classic mono limiter/compressors made to the late-1960’s design.
Originally designed in 1969, the original Neve 2254 mono Limiter/Compressor unit quickly became a legend in its own right. Discreet, Class A design and transformer-coupled circuits used in the input, innovative bridge-driver design, side-chain and output stages ensured a totally unique sound. The original 2254 units are still sought after today by audio pioneers, decades after production stopped and they remain one of the “milestone” pieces of audio equipment.
Features:
HOW MUCH: £9,500.00 / $14,400 (pair)
THE HISTORY: Designed in 1969, the original Neve 2254 mono Limiter/Compressor unit quickly received legendary status. Featuring a discrete, Class A design and transformer-coupled circuits – used in the input, innovative bridge-driver design, side chain and output stages ensured a totally unique sound. They were used in studios across the world and are still highly sought after, decades after production stopped – and even if you find one you’ll also often have it built into a rack enclosure with a custom power supply.
REPLICAS AND MODERN EQUIVALENTS: Neve have recently recreated a version of this compressor that they now call the 2254/R. Designed as accurate replica of the original Neve 2254 Limiter‑Compressor, with its smooth sound character, it is available from most larger music dealers. Plug-in designer Waves also used the 2254 as inspiration for its V-series compressor.
