Broadcast Audio Compressor Limiter


This compressor application is a self contained electronic audio device for the compression of the dynamic range of music or voice. A built in compression ratio of 2 to 1 sufficiently boosts modulation level (loudness) but without destroying the dynamic range of the music or voice so that normalness is maintained.

A peak limiter is included to keep modulation of a transmitter at or slightly below 100%. An LED indicator shows when modulation peaks are excessive.

This compressor limiter consists of two identical compressor circuits. Each may be operated independently of each other or together as a stereo unit. A dip switch is used to connect (strap) the two sections together so each stereo channel is controlled by the peak modulation of either channel. This maintains proper channel separation and integrity. In the mono mode each section works independent of the other. In this way two separate program channels may be used. Another possibility is to feed the output of one section into the input of the other section. In this case a 4 to 1 compression ratio can be obtained. This will be louder still with some loss of normalness in dynamic range of music being noticable. Download Manual Compressor Limiter.
