Ashly CLX52 Compressor Limiter (Billy Sheehan/Helix Rochester Compressor) - reduced to £110 £125 Wirral, UK

[ikaney]

Ashly CLX52 Compressor Limiter. Tested and working perfectly.

 

No longer made from what I can see, latest version Ashly produced. Billy Sheehan used this particular model in his rig before moving to the Helix model.

 

Slight damage to one of the knobs (see last photo - nothing major)

 

Low noise, smooth sound, and excellent stereo tracking. The Ashly CLX-52 is a 2-channel compressor/limiter that uses an "infinite soft-knee" characteristic and timing based on compression ratio. This, combined with a dual release time, allows program density to increase as the input signal increases. The result is a peak controller with very low noise, smooth sound, and excellent stereo tracking, and without the usual "constricted" limiter sound. The CLX-52 has many ways to deal with any gain structure. The CLX-52 is extremely useful for such diverse applications as loudspeaker protection, vocal level control, broadcast limiting, musical instrument sustain, special effects, and CD to cassette transfers.
