Details
Controls: threshold, attack (250us-64ms), release (fast 500ms - Auto, modeled on Compex F760X), ratio (1.5/2/3/5/10/20:1), make-up gain, variable high-pass filter (0-200Hz per channel, detector-only), continuously variable stereo link (0-infinity)
I/O: electronically balanced in/out (THAT Corp), outboard power supply with rear-panel storage pocket
Notes: Dual-channel successor built around the same audio path and detector circuit as the discontinued single-channel FET II limiter. Electronically balanced (THAT Corp ICs), not transformer-coupled - flagged as deviation from Daking's typical transformer topology. RoHS compliant. Listed as current on TransAudio Group's official Daking manuals page (FET II is explicitly marked discontinued there). Price ($2,200 list) sourced from a 2013 Mix Online review; no fresher confirmed MSRP found - flagged as a potentially dated price basis; some retailers (e.g. Sweetwater) show it out of stock, though it remains in Daking's active/current manual list.
