Description
The Ashly CLX-52 is a 2-channel, universal peak-sensitive automatic gain control (AGC) device delivering exceptional audio performance, precise control, and rugged durability, making it ideal for masking sound applications.
Front panel controls allow you to adjust input gain, threshold, ratio, attack time, release time, and output level. Additional features include an in/out switch for each channel, a stereo tie switch, and eleven-step LED meters for gain reduction and input/output levels. All audio connections are XLR, ¼” TRS, and euroblock, and each channel includes a TRS insert detector patch point for “ducking” or frequency-sensitive limiting in combination with an equalizer.
A unique feature of CLX-52 is the incorporation of a Double Release Time Constant. When a conventional compressor/limiter is adjusted for slow release times, transients such as mic “pops” may cause a severe reduction in gain followed by a slow fade up, making the action of the limiter very obvious. With the Double Release Time Constant, release from gain reduction after a brief transient is always fast, with a slower release after a sustained overdrive.
The CLX-52 is a versatile and highly listenable compressor/limiter suitable for use in professional sound reinforcement, recording and broadcasting.
Audio professionals find our software very intuitive—and you will too.
