INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing Airfield Audio.

Our many years of specializing in tech service, custom build and modifications to high

end studio and professional audio installations are now being expanded with an exciting

new product line. For the Airfield Audio Liminator we have analyzed more than a dozen

classic and vintage audio compressors, and have distilled the best of the best into this

device. Your ears will love the sound of this unique analog processor.

Class A discrete transistor circuitry is used exclusively, with classic input and output

transformers deployed as an important element of the design. The best sound possible is

realized with a complete reduction of cable-induced noise. And, in fact, a main feature of

the Liminator is the inclusion of 2 switchable input transformers for a great range of

flexibility and tone. All front panel controls as well as internal components have been

selected for ruggedness and long life. We take pride in quality construction; all units are

handcrafted with care, thoroughly bench tested, calibrated and burned in for 48 hours.

The Airfield Audio Liminator exemplifies state of the art analog audio design, and

delivers natural, musical characteristics to the recording process. One of the most

versatile compressors ever invented, it can be used with confidence on voice, all

instruments, any sound source, and with an additional unit, on stereo mix and mastering.

For reasons not even science can fully explain, the best analog devices create a sonic

magic that flows from the sound source through real parts and circuitry into the human

ear with the highest clarity and resolution. Airfield Audio is dedicated to this natural

process. It sounds very very very very good.
