The A-184-1 is recommended for compact systems where space is an issue or for users who don't need two ring modulators or two slew limiter for instance but a small and multi-functional utility instead.

The upper section consists of a half of a A-114 ring modulator and has inputs for the signals X and Y. The X*Y output emits the multiplied / ring modulated signal. The bottom section is a sample & hold followed by a slew limiter. It has an input for the sample signal and a trigger input. A switch select mode of operation as the module can work as a sample & hold or as a track & hold. When in T&H mode no trigger is applied this section can be used as an individual slew limiter.
