2264ALB
Originally designed in 1974, the Neve 2264A mono Limiter/Compressor unit quickly became a legend.

Discrete, Class A/B design and transformer-coupled circuits used in the input, innovative bridge-driver design, side-chain and output stages ensured a totally unique sound. The original 2264A units are still sought after, decades after production stopped, and they remain one of the milestone pieces of studio equipment.
And now the 2264A unit is available for your 500-series rack.
Crafted in England by Neve engineers, the 2264ALB retains the original 2264A's unique sonic characteristics by using the same architecture, matching components and original hand-wound transformers and adds new features: a Signal Presence indicator LED and a Slow Attack option.
