Description Condition: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store, unless the item is handmade or was packaged by the manufacturer in non-retail packaging, such as an unprinted box or plastic bag.

API 525 Discrete Compressor Re-Issue Release times vary with frequency, with high frequency / full bandwidth content released faster than lower frequencies for natural envelope tracking. Attack time is fixed, chosen to catch the fastest peaks, without "pumping". Equally useful as a tracking, mixdown or program compressor/limiter, the 525 utilizes "vintage" dynamics control and an easy to use multi-function control set. The 525 has a hard-wire bypass switch, a balanced input, and a pinout that is the same as all the other 500 series modules. Two or more 525s can be linked for multi-channel compression. The API 525 Compressor makes use of the 2510 and 2520 op-amps and exhibits the reliability, long life, and uniformity which are characteristic of all API products.
Exact reissue of API's original 525 from the early 70's Peak detecting "feedback" compressor/limiter Variable Threshold and Output levels Unique "Ceiling" control combines key functions Analog VU meter for monitoring gain reduction 4 Switchable release modes De-Ess function Traditional API fully discrete circuit design Active Balanced Input/Output Hardwire bypass Input Impedance: > 30 K Ohms, Balanced
Output Impedance: 100 Ohms, Transformer coupled, Balanced
Operating Levels: -15 dBu to +20 dBu
Maximum Gain Reduction: 25 dB
Noise: 98 dB below +10 dBu output, at 10 dB of Compression
Harmonic Distortion: 0.5% Max, 30 to 20 kHz
Attack Time: 15 micro seconds
Release Times: .1, .5, 2.0, 2.5 seconds
De-essing: Inversion of the Voice Energy Curve
Slopes: Compression, 2:1, Limit, 20:1
Metering: Compression or Limiting-Illuminated Analog dB meter, shows Gain Reduction
Frequency Response: ±.5 dB, 30 to 20 kHz
Power Requirements: ±12/18 Volts/DC, @80 ma.
Size: 1.5" X 5.25" X 7.5" Deep
Size (Boxed for Shipping): 4.5" X 6.5" X 10"
Actual Weight: 1.77 lbs.
