Neumann U473 compressors limiters expanders racked pair US $1,669
EBAY SELLER AUCTION DESCRIPTION
"Offered here is a pair of rather rare and vintage Neumann U473 mastering quality compressors, limiters, and expanders in a custom made 1U rack with XLR I/O, plus external 24V PSU (100-240V). It is the modules marked A 1/2 on the pictures.
There have been used on many mixing and mastering projects in our studio. Also combined with mastering Neumann PE EQs (although pictured, they are not offered in this listing and are NOT for sale - please, don't ask), they create a great mastering combo. Great working condition, fully balanced with famous Haufe transformers I/O. Noise free.
I've tested these against many modern compressors, including tube ones (vari-mu) and I must say that Neumann is on par, not to overhype this. Given the size of these, one wonders how did Germans pull this off some 40 years ago. Great for drum overheads, or on a mixbus. Guaranteed to work 100%. We have another pair we use frequently, so these are up for grabs. You can buy Crane Song's modern compressor at twice the money asked here and chances are that these Neumanns will do just as well for most applications."
