Aphex Systems 700 Dominator – Stereo Multiband Peak Limiter

Overview The Aphex 700 Dominator is a stereo multiband peak limiter originally designed for professional broadcast and studio applications. Unlike conventional limiters, the Dominator uses proprietary multiband circuitry to reduce the audibility of limiting action. This allows for greater limiting depth while maintaining clarity and loudness, making it a sought‑after tool for engineers who want transparent control over peaks without sacrificing audio quality.

Condition & Modifications

• Fully functional unit.
• Output ceiling pot removed during its broadcast service life; the limiter is hardwired to a fixed ceiling estimated between –5 to –7 dB. This means the ceiling is not adjustable in its current state. Skilled technicians could restore the original functionality by reinstalling a pot.
• Replacement knobs installed.
• TEC button is missing its cap (button itself still functions).
• Includes power cable.

Technical Features

• Stereo multiband peak limiting for precise control across frequency ranges.
• Proprietary Aphex circuitry reduces distortion and pumping artifacts common in single‑band limiters.
• Designed for broadcast environments where consistent loudness and protection against over‑modulation are critical.
• Provides higher loudness with maintained audio quality compared to conventional limiters.

Cosmetic Notes

• Shows typical wear from broadcast use but remains clean and presentable.
• All controls are smooth and responsive.

Sale Details
