Architect Specifications

CLX-51/CLX-52
The unit shall be a single (CLX-51) or dual (CLX-52) channel compressor limiter with independent gain, threshold, ratio, attack, release, and output level adjustments. It shall have a detector patch point allowing for the connection of an external equalizer in the detector loop to produce frequency selective limiting; or allows the connection of an external microphone source to produce voiceover- compression.

It shall have front panel mounted switches for engaging or defeating the compressor/limiter functions. It shall have front panel switches for selecting input or output meter display. It shall have both XLR and 1/4. connectors on inputs and outputs. Performance specifications shall meet or exceed the following: Gain control shall be +/- 15dB. Threshold shall be adjustable from -40dB to +22dB. Ratio shall be adjustable from 2:1 to infinity. Attack time shall be adjustable from 200uSec to 20mSec. Release time shall be adjustable from 100mSec to 3 seconds. the output level shall be adjustable from minus infinity to +18dBu.

The maximum in-out level shall be +23dBu. The input impedance shall be 20K ohm balanced bridging. The output impedance shall be 200 ohm quasi-balanced. The frequency response shall be 20Hz to 20KHz, +/-0.2dB. Distortion shall be <0.01% THD, 1KHz @0dBu, and <0.15% THD @ +15dBu from 20Hz to 20KHz. Hum and noise shall not exceed -96dBu @ unity gain.

The unit shall operate at 115VAC +/-5%, 50-60Hz. The unit shall be designed for mounting in a standard EIA 19. rack (19.L x 1.75.H x 6.D) and shall have a shipping weight of 8 lbs. The unit shall either be a model CLX-51 (single channel) or a CLX-52 (dual channel) Compressor Limiter manufactured by Ashly Audio, Inc. No other unit shall be acceptable unless submitted data from and independent research lab verifies that the above size/performances specifications are met
