worry. The sound system or tape can now be run at undreamed of levels, with
total freedom from overdriving, clipping, or tape saturation. A small P.A.
system can now be as loud as a big one, because headroom, clarity, power
usage and signal-to-noise ratios have been optimized and controlled by the
COMPELLOR/ AURAL EXCITER/ DOMINATOR combination.
