Details
Controls: Attack/release speed (fast/slow + Auto), compressor threshold/ratio, de-ess (HF and wideband), peak limiter threshold, output gain trim, LED input/output/gain-reduction metering
I/O: Balanced or unbalanced inputs and outputs (connector type not specified in available sources)
Notable use: Live sound and broadcast dynamics control / de-essing; HARMAN describes it as one of BSS's "legendary products"; also modeled as a Waves plugin
Notes: DISCONTINUED CLASSIC still marked as discontinued on bssaudio.com but page/manual archive retained. Electrical specs (frequency response, impedance, attack/release times, headroom) sourced from third-party archived manual/data sheet (GB Audio), not the current bssaudio.com page which lacks detailed specs - cross-check recommended. Attack: 150us (fast)/750us (slow); Release: 100ms (fast)/500ms (slow); limiter ratio >20:1, threshold +4 to +20dBv. No current price (discontinued, no MSRP).
