Originally mounted in classic discrete Neve consoles from the late 1960's on, these 2254A's are transformer balanced and fully discrete. The sound is...well, it's full, meaty and everything you'd expect from Rupert (ears) Neve. These are increasingly rare for the simple reason that engineers who own them hang on to them.
UREI came out with a solid-state version of these and called it the 1176. The earliest models were silver-faced with a blue stripe around the meter. They featured push-button ratio selection 4:1, 8:1, 10:1, 20:1, as well as attack and release controls. These blue-stripe ones are still in favor with many well-respected engineers like Bruce Swedien (Micheal Jackson, Jennifer Lopez...) .
