This AGC processor boasts four separate and independent channels of analog audio gain control, which can be used separately for microphone leveling or similar mono applications, or selectively linked for dual-stereo or split mono/stereo program control.
Featuring colorless Class D (PWM) technology for stable and transparent operation, the 264 employs a unique combination of peak and average response to program dynamics, delivering the gain-riding advantage of an intelligent AGC coupled with the tight peak control of a fast limiter. This combination of long- and short-term level correction normalizes the average-to-peak ratios of diverse audio sources, giving a consistent level of subjective loudness without using excessive, ear-fatiguing compression.
