2. 1176 Peak Limiter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1176_Peak_Limiter

   Inputs. 1. Outputs. 1. The 1176 Peak Limiter is a dynamic range compressor designed by the American engineer Bill Putnam and introduced by UREI in 1967. Derived from the 175 and 176 tube compressors, it marked the transition from vacuum tubes to solid-state technology. [1]

3. Compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor

   Compressor. For other uses, see Compressor (disambiguation). A small stationary high pressure breathing air compressor for filling scuba cylinders. Natural gas compressor at a gas well. High pressure reciprocating compressor from Belliss and Morcom, used in the bottling industry. A compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure ...

4. Compression (physics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_(physics)

   Compression (physics) In mechanics, compression is the application of balanced inward ("pushing") forces to different points on a material or structure, that is, forces with no net sum or torque directed so as to reduce its size in one or more directions. [1] It is contrasted with tension or traction, the application of balanced outward ...

5. Dynamic range compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression

   One compressor generally stabilizes the dynamic range while the other aggressively compresses stronger peaks. This is the normal internal signal routing in common combination devices marketed as compressor-limiters, where an RMS compressor (for general gain control) is followed by a fast peak-sensing limiter (for overload protection). Done ...

6. Compressor map - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

   Compressor map. A compressor map is a chart which shows the performance of a turbomachinery compressor. This type of compressor is used in gas turbine engines, for supercharging reciprocating engines and for industrial processes, where it is known as a dynamic compressor. A map is created from compressor rig test results or predicted by a ...

7. Surge in compressors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_in_compressors

   Compressor surge is a form of aerodynamic instability in axial compressors or centrifugal compressors. The term describes violent air flow oscillating in the axial direction of a compressor, which indicates the axial component of fluid velocity varies periodically and may even become negative. In early literature, the phenomenon of compressor ...
