Audio+Design Express Limiter question

They were cool sounding wideband limiters, but prone to logic problems with those front panel buttons.

WNBC used them in as part of a 3 band limiter during the Howard Stern/Time Machine days at the end. The fed Kahn AM stereo system. After Emmis purchased 660 in 1988 and flipped it to WFAN, these were yanked for a Gregg AM processor and became headphone processors. I salvaged them from the garbage in 1998 when the FAN studio was rebuilt and an Inovonics 250 replaced them as headphone processing.

On the right below the Belar. The unit above was the homemade crossover built by Gary Blau to divide the 3 units into 3 bands.

Not as smooth as some other wideband limiters I've heard (Neve, EMT), but they have a unique sound and are popular with gear heads
