Compellor is a revolutionary audio processor that delivers intelligent compression levelling and peak limiting simultaneously. Apparently this is achieved using analogue computer technology that analyses the input waveform and then uses that information to control a single VCA in each signal channel. Basically, the Compellor has been developed to control the gain of a signal in such a way as to be completely unobtrusive.

At first glance, the Compellor might seem to be just another compressor limiter, but in reality its functions are more innovative and varied. Even the meters are novel, using dual coloured LEDs so that they can effectively display information relating to two parameters simultaneously. The average signal is handled by red LEDs, with green ones dealing with the higher peak levels.

This unit has been tested, is fully functional and sounds exceptional !
