Spectra 1964 Model V610

THE HISTORY OF THE 601 MODULE AND 610 COMPLIMITER

In 1969, Spectra 1964 first utilized the 601 module in the 610 Complimiter, a piece of outboard gear that allowed users to use the compressor and limiter separately or at the same time. Since its creation, the 601 has gained a reputation of being one of the quietest, fastest and most versatile analog modules in the pro audio industry. Thus, the 610 unit has remained as iconic as other fan favorites like the LA2A and 1176.

LEGENDARY COMPLIMITER GETS FRESH TAKE

Improving on the original 610 Complimiter, Spectra 1964 has taken their classic piece of gear from 1969 and updated it for the modern studio. The 2-chasis unit features an internal and external design facelift including lower distortion, noise, a +24dBu output and high resolution detended controls. Combining the classic topology with updated features has made the new version easy to use for mastering, mix-buss and tracking purposes.

SPECTRA 1964’S IMPACT ON THE AUDIO INDUSTRY

Founding Spectra 1964 in 1964, William G Dilley was an engineer and pilot who took to creating audio equipment for broadcast, recording studio and motion picture purposes. Creating classics like the 601 Compressor Limiter, the 610 Complimiter and a Spectra 1964 console, Dilley changed the face of recording forever and was awarded a fellowship by the Audio Engineering Society in 1977.
