AMS Neve 33609/N Dual Compressor/Limiter

The AMS Neve 33609/N is a dual mono/stereo compressor and limiter based on the 2254 console compressor found in Neve 80-series consoles, using the same diode-bridge detector and custom input and output transformers   The operating principals of the 33609/N were inherited from the famed 2254A console compressor, which was a rectangular cuboid housed in the master section.
