The dbx Medel 903 is a compressor/limiter designed for use in a 900 Series mainframe or custom installations. It features unique characteristics such as 'Over Easy' threshold behavior and Infinity + (negative) compression to achieve large amounts of gain reduction without undesirable side effects. The unit utilizes patented true-RMS level detection for superior sonic performance.
| Input Impedance (Balanced) | 25K Ohms |
|---|---|
| Output Impedance | 22 Chms |
| Maximum Input Level | +24 dBm |
| Frequency Response | 20Hz-20kHz (+1, -l dB) |
| Attack Rate (63% gain reduction) | 15ms for 10 dB above threshold |
| Release Rate | 120 dB/sec |
It provides a gradual increase in the ratio of gain reduction as the input signal approaches and exceeds the pre-set threshold, avoiding sudden alterations of dynamics.
It uses patented, true-RMS detection to interpret signal levels as the human ear hears them.
