UILT TO THE HIGHEST DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS, THE AMS NEVE 33609 UNIT OFFERS COMPREHENSIVE LIMITING AND COMPRESSION FACILITIES FOR MUSIC RECORDING, POST PRODUCTION AND BROADCAST APPLICATIONS. THE 33609 IS BASED ON A CIRCUIT DESIGN FIRST USED IN THE CLASSIC 2254 LIMITER/COMPRESSOR DESIGNED BY NEVE IN 1969. THE 33609's COMBINATION OF TRANSFORMERS AND GAIN REDUCTION ELEMENT PRODUCES A SOUND QUALITY WHICH IS UNIQUE AMONGST COMPRESSOR LIMITERS. COUPLED WITH THE UNIT'S UNPARALLELED EASE OF USE, THIS SOUND QUALITY HAS MADE THE 33609 A STUDIO STANDARD. MULTIPLE UNITS MAY BE LINKED FOR MULTI-CHANNEL OPERATION. THE LIMITER/COMPRESSOR IS A 2U RACK-MOUNTING UNIT WITH A CLEAR, UNCLUTTERED PANEL LAYOUT. THERE ARE INDEPENDENT SIDE CHAINS FOR THE COMPRESSOR AND LIMITER SECTIONS WITH INDEPENDENT THRESHOLD, RECOVERY AND ATTACK CONTROLS. THE COMPRESSOR FEATURES A SELECTION OF RATIOS FROM 1.5:1 TO 6:1 AND A GAIN MAKE-UP CONTROL THAT COMES BEFORE THE LIMITER. OVERALL GAIN REDUCTION IS INDICATED ON A MOVING COIL METER.

“A brick wall limiter that you can’t hear working. It just does what it says on the tin.”

TWO VERSIONS ARE AVAILABLE, THE 33609/J AND THE 33609/JD. BOTH UNITS OFFER THE LEGENDARY NEVE SOUND BUT WITH ENHANCED INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL I/O SWITCHING COMPARED TO THE ORIGINALS. THE 33609/J USES SIMILAR CIRCUITS TO THE VINTAGE 33609/C. THE 33609/JD INCORPORATES A 340 DISCREET OUTPUT STAGE AS USED IN THE ORIGINAL 33609 DESIGN.
