CLX−52
Architect & Engineering Specs

The unit shall be a dual channel compressor limiter with independent gain, threshold, ratio, attack, release, and output level adjustments. It shall have a detector patch point allowing for the connection of an external equalizer in the detector loop to produce frequency selective limiting; or allows the connection of an external microphone source to produce voice-over-compression. It shall have front panel mounted switches for engaging/defeating the compressor/limiter functions. It shall have front panel switches for selecting input or output meter display. It shall have XLR, 1/4”, and Euroblock connectors on inputs and outputs. Performance specifications shall meet or exceed the following: Gain control shall be ± 15dB. Threshold shall be adjustable from -40dB to +22dB. Ratio shall be adjustable from 2:1 to infinity. Attack time shall be adjustable from 200uSec to 20mSec. Release time shall be adjustable from 100mSec to 3 seconds. The output level shall be adjustable from minus infinity to +20dB. The maximum in-out level shall be +23dBu. The input impedance shall be 20K ohm balanced. The output impedance shall be 132 ohm servo-balanced. The frequency response shall be 20Hz to 20KHz, +/-0.2dB. Distortion shall be <0.01% THD, 1KHz @0dBu, and <0.15% THD @ +15dBu from 20Hz to 20KHz. Hum and noise shall not exceed -96dBu @ unity gain. The unit shall operate at 100 - 240VAC +/-5%, 50-60Hz. The unit shall be designed for mounting in a standard EIA 19” rack (19”L x 1.75”H x 8”D) and shall have a shipping weight of 8 lbs.
