Vintage Orban 424A dual-channel gated compressor/limiter with built-in de-essing.

Everything has been tested and is working properly. I went through the pots and controls with DeoxIT, and the optional XLR line-level inputs and outputs have been added for both channels, making it much easier to integrate into a modern studio setup.

This is a pretty interesting piece of older American-made studio hardware. Each channel gives you independent compression/limiting, gate controls, output level adjustment and de-essing, and the two channels can also be coupled for stereo operation.

The unit shows normal cosmetic wear from age and rack use, but overall presents well. Faceplate, knobs, switches and meters are all in good shape.
