Here’s a Gates solid statesman broadcast limiter, a broadcast-quality audio compressor/limiter from the 1960s. It is known for its warm, tube-like sound despite being solid-state. The unit was designed to prevent FM over-modulation while maintaining fidelity. It features a fast attack time (3-5 microseconds) and a fixed compression ratio of around 30:1. These units are often used in recording studios for vocals and drums due to their musical high-frequency reduction.
