AudioScape proudly introduces the AS78 Dual Peak Limiter. Taking inspiration from the original 78 born in the late 1970s, renowned for its pinpoint accuracy, unique sound and rock-solid performance, this beast has been a secret weapon for engineers and producers for decades.

Offering two independent channels, each with its own input and output controls, the AS78 will give you precise control over the dynamics of your audio signals; it will tame wild peaks, add punch, or sculpt the overall sound like no other. Since it’s dual channel, you have the choice of channel-linked Stereo Mode or discrete dual channel A/B Mode. It also features a unique new Sidechain HPF, switchable 80 or 120Hz, for more nuanced sidechain triggering. The AS78 is designed for ultimate versatility.

The AS78's distinct sound signature is characterized by its lightning-fast response, transparent compression, and a touch of harmonic saturation. With its unparalleled control, intuitive UI, and robust build quality (like all of our AudioScape products!), this compressor is a must-have in your arsenal.

This is the resurrection of a legendary two-headed beast that was described at the time of its original release in 1980 as a dual channel version of the most widely used compressor/limiter in the world. Employing a Dual FET-based topology, the AudioScape AS78 perfectly tracks in the selectable Stereo mode. In this mode, Input and Output levels are controlled individually, per channel, while the single, ganged Attack and Release pots control both channels simultaneously. In Stereo mode, the loudest signal from either channel controls the GR equally for both channels. In the A/B mode, while Attack and Release are still single, ganged controls, the individual dynamics of each channel determines each channel’s GR. This makes the AS78 a uniquely versatile stereo/ dual peak limiter.

In AudioScape’s updated design, we added a Sidechain HPF, switchable 80 or 120Hz, to allow for more nuanced sidechain triggering by filtering out high energy low frequency information. With this kind of control, you can easily tame wild dynamics with surgical precision. The unique design of the AS78 allows the user to crush transients without the buzz-kill of sonic artifacts, or simply and subtly soften transient peaks in the 2-mix transparently. Strapped across the stereo buss…inserted over the BG vox tracks or stereo acoustic guitars…adding depth to the drum stem, AudioScape’s AS78 is an indispensable bit of kit in the sonic toolbox.
