Altec 1591A Solid State Compressor
Estimated price for orientation: 850 $
Category: Signal Processors or Rack Effect
Class:
Description Effect/Enhancement: Tracking, Compression/Limiting MPN: 1591A Brand: Altec Lansing Form Factor: Rack-Mountable Model: 1591A Inputs/Outputs: XLR In Terminal Out
This is a solid state compressor limiter with two inputs. One input has a 600 ohm octal socketed transformer included and the other can be fitted with a octal soceted microphone pre-amp not included. The unit has XLR input connectors and a terminal strip for the output. The unit's compression is achieved with an RMS detector driving an luminary optical coupled photo resistor. This is a similar design scheme that was used in the Urei LA-4's and so on. For its age the unit is surprisingly clean and has been well maintained. It appears that everything is original. These compressors provide an very robust sonic signature. This is a great opportunity to own one of the great sounding compressors.
