Lindell Audio 254E

Warm, punchy, and ready to rock
When Neve first released its iconic 2254E Limiter, it quickly became a fixture in broadcast production facilities around the world. But it was when rock n’ roll producers got a-hold of it that it became legendary. Producers and engineers discovered that if you hit it hard, its compression and limiter circuits produced a warm punchy sound that pumped up tracks and master busses in the most pleasing manner.

Enhance the power of your drum buss
Lindell’s faithful emulation of this classic broadcast limiter provides several useful added features, including a wet/dry Mix knob and selectable slow and fast attack times. Sometimes, the secret to the sound you’re looking for simply involves using the right tool for the job. If you’re looking to turn a meek drum buss into bombs from Bonham, the 254E might just help do the trick.

Achieve a rich analog tone
The original 2254E compressor/limiter used a diode bridge to apply gain reduction, which resulted in a rich analog tone, and the Lindell 254E plugin brings that classic and coveted sound to your DAW with stunning realism. One of the most colorful limiters ever released, the NEVE 2254E was born for radio but had rock in its soul.

  Great sound but very buggy when oversampling is enabled - makes very loud high pitched noises (careful not to blow your tweeters -or even worse, your eardrums), sometimes mutes one channel… Read More

  I thought to try it as a limiter with a mix bus, but it shapes all other instruments so warmly that I forgot about it as a mix bus thing. I’ve tried it with spikey instruments and this thing gives… Read More
