The original hardware was custom-built by in Hamburg for the post-war NWDR (Northwest German Broadcasting) network. Only a few dozen units were ever produced, primarily used to boost signal-to-noise ratios in AM radio transmissions. It is famously documented in the "Braunbuch" , an anthology of technical descriptions for German broadcasting hardware. Technical Architecture A soft-clipping stage that precedes the compressor

A flexible internal or external sidechain with a tilt-style filter to focus compression on specific frequency energy. It was developed by NEOLD and is distributed
