    1712a compressors

    I recognize this pair. I sold them a couple years back. the consecutive ser #s are a tip off. but the icom vhf flush mount screws in the terminal blocks are the giveaway. they seemed to work fine when I sold them. looks like they still do..
    i thought about bidding 10 bucks for them. anyone else see something come back around?

    Ok, what do they do? I assume this is for proaudio. I'm not familiar with them in home audio but I have heard the term compressors on audio boards. There seems to be a lot of stuff used in proaudio that home audio has no use for.
    Thanks

    It's a re-badged EV product.

    While the amplifiers were quite respectable(EV7300/Altec 9444), those compressors not so much.

    You'll find a lot more love for the venerable old DBX 163..................... that's a real DBX product, not the crap under the Harman umbrella.

    18 hours to go and still at $0.78 with no bids. His shipping is a killer.

    Ouch shipping is killer. It would be 55 dollars for me.

    I have had large woofers shipped from Canada and it was only about 10 bucks more than coming from a northern US state
