Nady CL5000 Dual Channel Compressor/Limiter

Utilizes unique Interactive Knee Adaptation circuitry which combines hard- and soft-knee compression. Also features fully variable attack/release compression ratio threshold control dual 8-stage gain reduction metering and adjustable gate for easy operation and maximum performance.

FEATURES:
• Interactive Knee Adaptation combines hard- and soft-knee compression.
• Variable attack/release, compression ratio, threshold control.
• Dual eight-stage gain reduction metering
• Adjustable gate.
• Interactive Ratio Control expander/gate.
• Dynamic Enhancer nullifies the 'squashed" sound.
• Servo-balanced input provides automatic hum and noise reduction.
