Aphex 320A Compellor
Besides delivering intelligent compression processing, the Aphex Systems 320A Compellor will handle leveling and peak limiting during audio content transfer. For example-audio captured during a live conference with a wide variation of peaks and levels can be routed through this processor to prepare for post production. The Silence Gate detects gaps in program material and ‘freezes’ the processing preventing noise build-up which can be quite audible in other automatic gain control devices. The gate releases instantly when the program resumes. The 320A is perfect for mic/vocal processing, broadcast pre-processing and video post audio production. I have my eye on this very interesting piece of gear. Used and recommended by Doug Kaye at IT Conversations Studios. $1199 US.

Not only recommended by Doug Kaye… If you’ve got the bucks, the Compellor is a great investment in your audio rig.

I know Mike-I’m on it. I missed one on ebay 2 days ago. Sold for $395. I’ll land one sooner or later.
