Designed by the now-legendary Saul Walker in the late '60s, the discrete 550A was first used as a modular OEM equalizer. As the industry rapidly embraced the sonic quality of the 550A, it quickly found its way into many custom console designs by Frank DeMedio and other leading engineers. Many of these consoles are still in use today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForty years later, the 550A remains the standard against which other EQs are measured, and it has played a major role in the recording industry for decades. Still copied but never duplicated, the 550A became API's standard channel module EQ when the company began manufacturing consoles in 1971. With virtually all existing units spoken for, popular demand for this EQ resulted in API finally resuming production in 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 550A provides reciprocal equalization at 21 points in 5 steps of boost to a maximum of 12dB of gain at each point. The fifteen equalization points are divided into three overlapping ranges. The high and low frequency ranges are individually selectable as either peaking or shelving, and a band-pass filter may be inserted independently of all other selected equalization settings. Frequency ranges and boost\/cut are selected by three dual-concentric switches, and a pushbutton \"in\" switch allows the EQ to be silently introduced to the signal path. A small toggle switch is used to insert the band-pass filter into the 550A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of Walker's incomparable 2520 op amp and his \"Proportional Q\" circuitry gives the 550A user an uncomplicated way to generate acoustically superior equalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the long-awaited reissue of this unit, an EQ that has had such a part in the history of recording is continuing to make history in today's music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"API","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":241289229,"sku":"","price":995.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0179\/7585\/products\/550A_1_xl.jpg?v=1620843620"},{"product_id":"prism-sound-lyra-1-channel-a-d-converter-usb","title":"Prism Sound Lyra 2","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d492ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9d492ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003eLyra represents the pinnacle of compact audio interfaces.

Similarly, eight analogue output channels, up to 10 digital output channels and stereo headphone outputs can play 20 different channels. For low-latency foldback or monitoring to headphones or main outputs, each output pair (1-2, 3-4 etc or the headphone output) can optionally be driven from the built-in DSP mixer with an individual local mix of any selection of inputs through the controller applet. All analogue inputs are electronically balanced witOur customers told us that many professional users wanted a highly integrated solution with instrument and microphone inputs, and line outputs that could be used for stereo or multi-channel monitoring and\/or foldback to performers. Atlas offers eight analogue recording channels, eight monitoring outputs, stereo digital input and output on a phono connector plus concurrent optical digital I\/O ports that can interface to S\/PDIF or ADAT data formats, giving Atlas a maximum capability of 18 concurrent input and output channels plus stereo headphones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAtlas's eight analogue inputs support various capabilities. Atlas has four high-grade microphone pre-amps with software-controlled gain in 1dB steps, individually-switchable phantom power, 20dB pads - and very low noise and distortion. These combo connector inputs support both microphone and line input, with digitally-controlled mic gain in excess of 60dB. Two front panel inputs also support direct injection (DI) instrument connections with quarter-inch jacks. RIAA Equalization can be selected in the controller applet on channels 1 \u0026amp; 2 so that turntables can be connected for archiving or sampling applications. By selecting the input type (Mic or DI) , low- or high-impedance cartridges can be loaded with suitable termination impedances. All analogue inputs have individually-selectable Prism Sound \"Overkillers\" built in, just as on the higher-priced ADA-8XR, to catch those fast transients. The Overkiller threshold automatically follows the operating line-up level selection (+4dBu or -10dBV). Overkillers are ideal for percussive sounds, particularly drums, where headroom can be a problem. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe co-axial digital I\/O port can be switched in the Atlas controller applet between S\/PDIF and AES3 formats. This control changes the operating voltage and the Channel Status format and is complemented by two in-line adaptor leads that provide external XLR connections for AES3 devices. Other connections include wordclock sync I\/O. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAtlas can also operate in a stand-alone mode using its ADAT or co-axial digital I\/O connections. Once set up using the Atlas controller applet, the unit can be disconnected from the host computer and used independently. Atlas will retain its settings when powered down so even if it is switched off, Atlas can be re-powered and stand-alone operation can continue with the automatically-stored settings. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDigital Mixer\u003cbr\u003eOur customers also identified a need for a unit that could provide low latency foldback to performers, particularly when tracking and overdubbing. In answer to this need, Atlas has a powerful built-in digital mixer that can be configured from the host computer to provide foldback feeds to performers, each with their own stereo mix of workstation playback and any of the inputs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe question of latency in computer interfaces, especially USB and FireWire boxes, is an important one. Obviously there are situations where the round-trip latency needs to be really short, like in overdubbing. The problem is that even if the latency on the interface and in the driver is as short as it could ever be, a native DAW is busy with plug-ins and other software and buffer times are probably set long. The only answer is to provide local foldback mixing in the interface. This is not new, and other products feature it, but most local mixers in competitive products are just too basic. Atlas provides 'console quality' local mixing - every output has its own independent mixer, with channel strips for all inputs and workstation feeds, complete with fader, pan\/balance pot, solo and mute buttons, and full metering. Strips can be stereo or mono, and the mixes are dithered with filtered coefficients, just as in a top-end digital mixer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a very small residual delay through the A\/D and D\/A conversion process in the foldback path, mostly from filters used for decimation and interpolation. However, with the low-latency Prism Sound DSP mixer, the worst-case delay through the A\/D and D\/A path is only 0.5ms and is significantly less at higher sampling rates. This is generally reckoned to be small enough not to be problematic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the unit's outputs will mainly be used for monitoring or foldback, the fact that they are of such high quality makes them suitable for a range of other applications such as insertion points, analogue summing or stem-based mastering. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAtlas\u003cbr\u003eFlexible Monitoring\u003cbr\u003eProfessional users demand more sophisticated monitoring capabilities and are getting used to surround sound with HDTV and DVD, so it is becoming important to support surround monitoring setups. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs well as wanting great analogue recording channels, the DAW user also needs top-quality monitoring. The eight analogue outputs on Atlas allow monitor setups from multi-stereo up to 7.1 surround. Atlas has a real volume knob with mute function which can be assigned to any or all of the analogue or digital outputs for use as a control room monitor control. There are two headphone amps, suitable for all types of headphones, each with its own independent volume control. As well as having its own workstation feed and mixer, the headphones can also be quickly switched across the other output pairs, which is handy for setting up. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSample Rate Conversion and Noise Shaping\u003cbr\u003eThe digital output is equipped with the four Prism Sound SNS noise-shaping curves and includes Prism Sound's renowned synchronous sample-rate conversion, allowing outputs to various external devices at other sampling rates. The sample-rate converter can be used at the outputs as well as the inputs, so as well as dealing with unsynchronised or wrong-rate digital inputs, Atlas can also generate, say, a live 44.1kHz output from a 96kHz session. Since Atlas also includes the full suite of the famous Prism Sound 'SNS' noise shapers, you can also reduce to 16-bits at mastering-house quality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnsurpassed Jitter Rejection\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1990s Prism Sound pioneered testing of sampling and interface jitter and as a result our digital audio products deliver unsurpassed jitter rejection. Prism Sound digital audio products lock up fast and re-generate ultra-stable clock outputs. Another aspect of the traditional Prism Sound converter that is retained was the clocking - it's just as important as analogue-path considerations sound-wise. So whether it's providing a high-quality master clock for the rest of the room, or dealing with a jittery clock from outside, Atlas is as rock-steady as its forbears. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupport\u003cbr\u003eOver the years, Prism Sound's reputation for audio quality has been matched by its reputation for after-sales support and technical advice. Atlas has the benefit of that support and customers have access to one of the best technical teams in the business. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Last Word\u003cbr\u003eWe believe that Atlas delivers exactly what our personal studio customers have asked for - all the performance of a Prism Sound product in a dedicated USB unit that handles line, microphone and instrument inputs with good foldback and monitoring capabilities, yet at a more accessible price tag. We are confident that customers using the new Atlas converter will agree that it sounds as good as it looks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eh automatic unbalanced operation.

Atlas offers eight analogue recording channels, eight monitoring outputs, stereo digital input and output on a phono connector plus concurrent optical digital I\/O ports that can interface to S\/PDIF or ADAT data formats, giving Atlas a maximum capability of 18 concurrent input and output channels plus stereo headphones. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAtlas's eight analogue inputs support various capabilities. Atlas has four high-grade microphone pre-amps with software-controlled gain in 1dB steps, individually-switchable phantom power, 20dB pads - and very low noise and distortion. These combo connector inputs support both microphone and line input, with digitally-controlled mic gain in excess of 60dB. Two front panel inputs also support direct injection (DI) instrument connections with quarter-inch jacks. RIAA Equalization can be selected in the controller applet on channels 1 \u0026amp; 2 so that turntables can be connected for archiving or sampling applications. By selecting the input type (Mic or DI) , low- or high-impedance cartridges can be loaded with suitable termination impedances. All analogue inputs have individually-selectable Prism Sound \"Overkillers\" built in, just as on the higher-priced ADA-8XR, to catch those fast transients. The Overkiller threshold automatically follows the operating line-up level selection (+4dBu or -10dBV). Overkillers are ideal for percussive sounds, particularly drums, where headroom can be a problem. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe co-axial digital I\/O port can be switched in the Atlas controller applet between S\/PDIF and AES3 formats. This control changes the operating voltage and the Channel Status format and is complemented by two in-line adaptor leads that provide external XLR connections for AES3 devices. Other connections include wordclock sync I\/O. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAtlas can also operate in a stand-alone mode using its ADAT or co-axial digital I\/O connections. Once set up using the Atlas controller applet, the unit can be disconnected from the host computer and used independently. Atlas will retain its settings when powered down so even if it is switched off, Atlas can be re-powered and stand-alone operation can continue with the automatically-stored settings. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca name=\"digital_mixer\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nX","brand":"Prism Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":492071025,"sku":"","price":3332.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0179\/7585\/products\/Atlas_Black.jpg?v=1620843525"},{"product_id":"schoeps-cmc-6-ug-flat-freq-response","title":"Schoeps CMC6UG Microphone Amplifier flat freq response","description":"\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eflat frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eextremely low noise and distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ebalanced, very low-impedance output\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ecan be used with very long cables\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ewell-protected against RFI\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003efor use with 12- or 48-Volt phantom powering\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsules of condenser microphones (the only type which SCHOEPS manufactures) can't be connected directly to microphone cables or inputs; a microphone amplifier is required in between.

We've been asked over the years to build a stand alone DAC, and they're finally here in the CONVERT series. Eager to embrace the opportunity to develop a new and better DAC, we designed the CONVERT series converters from the ground up, utilizing cutting-edge digital technology coupled to a Chris Muth designed analog circuit that delivers our signature sound: open, articulate and powerful from top to bottom. Loaded with innovative and useful features accessed from an intuitive front panel, the CONVERT-2 tops an elite class of dedicated stereo digital-to-analog converters in both sound and ease of use. The CONVERT-2 goes beyond transparency - you won't just hear everything, you'll hear it beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIt's All About Implementation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile in theory most converters should be the same, among those who truly understand this hotly debated and endlessly researched area of audio technology, the mantra is implementation, implementation, implementation. How a converter's components are selected, tweaked and assembled according to a specific design, and then tuned for superior performance within that plan is what sets a converter apart - for better or worse. The Dangerous CONVERT-2 has been developed by a team of experts with deep, up-to-the-minute knowledge of digital and analog converter technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFine Tuning The Analogue Side\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA legend among mixing and mastering engineers for decades, Chris Muth has designed the analog gear used to mix and master an endless list of hit records and classic reissues. Chris's powerful, articulate, hi-fi designs dominated the big studios in New York City since the 80s, and via Dangerous his designs have become essential components in the best modern DAW-based mixing and mastering studios. When we set out to develop a new dedicated stereo DAC, Chris brought his relentless design philosophy and world-renowned sound to the CONVERT’s analog technology. Not only did he develop the audiophile-grade analog audio path, Chris also meticulously fine tuned the low-pass reconstruction filters mandatory to implementing any DAC. These filters lie at the heart of how a converter will perform, and the CONVERT series has the jaws of top pros hitting the floor when they hear the big natural sound and the powerful, ultra-clear low-end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfecting The Digital Side\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe brought in digital guru Paul Messick to make sure the digital side of the CONVERT-2 would sing in perfect harmony with its finely tuned analog circuit. Paul rigorously refined the CONVERT's JetPLL ultra-low jitter clocking technology until it surpassed the JET's stated specs, resulting in the virtual elimination of jitter throughout the audio band and beyond. Gone are the sonic headaches and end-of-day fatigue brought on by long-term exposure to jittery digital audio systems. The CONVERT-2's superbly implemented digital technology delivers such a natural, open and non-irritating sound that you’ll forget you’re even listening to converted 0s and 1s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetailed Information \u0026amp; Delightful Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaching beyond transparency and accuracy, the sound of the CONVERT-2 is so open and 3-dimensional that many are saying that these are the most beautiful, natural sounding converters they’ve ever heard. Whether your focus is tracking, mixing or mastering, when you choose a dedicated stereo DAC, you're choosing the unit you’ll trust to make all your sonic judgments, from choosing a mic to deciding how much limiting to use in mastering. You need your DAC to be honest, but you also need it to sound beautiful. With the CONVERT you get the uncanny combination of detailed information and delightful inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Unrivaled Feature Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur design philosophy includes a strict demand that our equipment be elegant and easy to use, and the CONVERT-2 exemplifies that philosophy. No menus, no cryptic multi-finger combinations to remember - just clearly labeled single-function buttons and one volume knob. However, the elegance of the CONVERT’s front panel belies its rich feature set, which brings a level of versatility not found in any other DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated Volume Control With Hard-Bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e - If you ever need to bring down the output level of the CONVERT-2, just turn the knob. When fully up, the volume control is bypassed for feeding a dedicated monitor controller (such as our Monitor ST). When engaged, the volume control lets you achieve exact output levels for many applications, a useful one being sending the analog outputs directly to a set of speakers and using the CONVERT-2 as a monitor controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstant Input Calibration\u003c\/strong\u003e - With industry-standard reference levels of -14, -16 and -18dBFS, you can recalibrate the CONVERT-2 with the push of a button. While many professional converters are only aligned at the factory, the Convert lets you move flexibly between different reference levels on the fly. Anyone who's ever fumbled around behind a rack with a \"tweeker tool\" while a second person watches an external meter knows the special value of our front-panel calibration buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Sample Rate Detection\u003c\/strong\u003e - Simply select \"Auto\" on the front panel and the CONVERT-2 will match its sample rate to the input signal. If you've ever started working at the wrong sample rate (we’ve all done it!), you’ll know why this feature can be so important. If you’re swapping among different DAW sessions at different sample rates, the CONVERT will follow your every move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn The Fly Input Switching\u003c\/strong\u003e - Unique to the CONVERT, you can now swap between multiple digital inputs on the fly from the front panel buttons. No more digging into elaborate menus and system settings just to listen to iTunes, no more rerouting software drivers just to hear a different output. And because the CONVERT can automatically lock to the incoming signal’s sample rate, you don’t need to even think about sample rates as you switch between inputs. Five digital inputs include USB, AES\/SPDIF-1, AES\/SPDIF-2, ADAT and Optical SPDIF (TOSLINK).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSB Uplink\u003c\/strong\u003e - With its unique USB Uplink technology, you can route the CONVERT's AES\/SPDIF-2 signal back up through the USB cable and into your DAW session for printing. Additionally, you can easily switch between monitoring the original digital signal or the Uplinked signal, which means you can add finalizing plugins to your DAW’s return track and quickly flip between the processed and unprocessed stereo signal – especially helpful whether mixing or mastering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Metering\u003c\/strong\u003e - Our premium custom crafted digital meter gives you peak-over-average metering, typically found in expensive outboard mastering meters. The meter automatically calibrates to the chosen input reference level, giving you consistent visuals on every project. Our “3-word-over” indicator tells you when three consecutive samples have clipped, meaning you’re a breath away from violating industry standards for CD reproduction and are about to generate clipping distortion that would be audible in any digital file.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse The CONVERT As Your Master Clock\u003c\/strong\u003e - It's no secret that many digital audio systems are slaved to the best sounding clock in the rack, and The CONVERT's customised JetPLL ultra-low jitter technology is winning shootouts again and again, sending expensive external clocks into retirement. Simply use the Word Clock output and set the CONVERT into Master mode from the front panel, and all the digital gear in your studio can benefit from The CONVERT’s cutting-edge digital technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonitor ST Connectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e - Simply connect the CONVERT-2 to your Monitor ST to bring remote control of the CONVERT’s digital input switching to your fingertips right from the ST Remote. By incorporating the CONVERT into your existing Monitor ST rig, you’re seamlessly adding today’s best DAC to your monitoring system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSacrifice Nothing.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're ready for the world's most articulate, open and natural sounding dedicated stereo DAC, The CONVERT-2 will deliver the beautiful truth of all your digital signals into the analog realm without ever tiring you out.

If anything, these are environments where you need the most accurate monitoring possible, so that absolutely nothing is left to guesswork! The SOURCE from Dangerous Music is a compact and affordable solution to all your monitoring needs with a no-compromise Chris Muth design strategy that’s made Dangerous monitoring products the worldwide standard among top professionals. Throw it in your backpack or use the rackmount kit for permanent installs, the SOURCE is ready for any job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHear Everything, No Matter Where You Are\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"normal\"\u003eYou can’t mix what you can’t hear! With the advent of “prosumer” gear, the monitoring path is typically sacrificed to meet a price-point, allowing what should be true craftsmanship to become guesswork. But true craftsmanship lies in the details – everything from the placement of a mic to an EQ setting to coaching a vocalist requires that you can hear all the nuances perfectly. To deliver that quality of monitoring, the SOURCE incorporates audiophile-grade components in an unconditionally transparent design that reveals every last detail, letting you hear absolutely everything the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffortlessly Route All of Your Signals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"normal\"\u003eAs the centerpiece to your studio, the SOURCE is equipped with a balanced stereo professional level analog input on XLR\/TRS jacks and an 1\/8” stereo commercial level input for iPhones, laptops and other devices. Digital inputs include both USB (for Windows and Mac) and AES\/SPDIF up to 192khz, and the AES\/SPDIF has a very useful thru-port, allowing you to capture or monitor that signal outside the SOURCE any way you see fit. The Selected Line output provides an analog mirror of whatever you’re monitoring in the control room, bypassing the main volume control. Use the Selected Line output to feed an external meter, recording device, club PA system or even for creative re-amping setups. The two onboard reference-grade D\/A converters deliver every last detail of your music, while the robust, crystal clear headphone amplifier and two speaker outputs round out the SOURCE’s incredibly versatile signal paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToggle \u0026amp; Latch For Ultimate Flexibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"normal\"\u003eAny input and speaker outputs can be used individually or simultaneously for all sorts of studio solutions. By switching the input and output sections between “toggle” mode (one at a time) and “latch” mode (simultaneously activated), you can layer sounds and double-up the inputs in creative and very useful ways. For example, set the speaker switches to “latch” and use the second speaker output as a switchable subwoofer out – or perhaps to provide simultaneous live-room monitoring, or to just blast both sets of speakers at once! Set the input switches to “latch” and you can jam along with your portable devices, or otherwise creatively layer multiple input sources. Return to “toggle” mode and easily let the singer hear their own personal headphone mix from an analog input while you engineer the real mix from the USB.

For enhanced EQ control, rear panel DIP switches select between two different transition frequencies for both High and Low controls. And BiX is pedalboard friendly, with a 9VDC power input and a compact, rugged low-profile chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSonically, BiX is a carbon copy of its bigger siblings, with crystal clear, ultra-quiet audio performance.

It’s very musical in its basic sound i.e. when you switch it in ... beautiful top end. It improved just about everything I put through it. So I will be using it on individual tracks, though likely to park it most often on the inserts of the SSL Fusion, which will be across my Audient desk main inserts. And I think there’s more for me to discover on the Buzz comp in terms of pushing it to get more of the diode bridge colouration ... terrific that it has different facets.

First use was on drum overheads, and you can really shape the sound with the DBC. Fast attack is really quick, totally smears off the transients, great for a parallel compression type of usage, or you can do slow attack, fast release for an SSL-kinda thing. I ended up somewhere in between, with the 10ms attack and 100ms release for adding a little \"smack\" to the front of the snare hits, while also bringing up the tone and ambience. Whatever you want it to do, it always sounded great.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.buzzaudio.com\/Images\/thumbs\/drums4.jpg\" class=\"pull-left\" alt=\"drum buss compressor\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePiano on another mix was the next use, and here it also sounded great. The HPF switch helps reduce pumping, and again, the attack control and the hard\/soft ratio switch enables you to go from mild control to full-on pumping for a Beatles-esque compression swell effect. The flexibility does mean, however, that you can set it wrong and get pumping, or un-natural sounding compression. This is not a set-and-forget box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinal use on today's mix was for double-tracked acoustics, using the L and R channels independently. Fast attack and auto release with the side chain HPF switched in, doing just a couple of dB's of gain reduction just helped to tame the peaks and increase the sustain of the acoustics, adding a slight sheen and sense of authority to the sound, making them sound much more expensive than they were!

The elimination of the capsules parasitic capacitances ensures low distortion and ultimate transparency, providing a very realistic sound picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial attention has been paid to the acoustical optimization of the TF08 microphone body; there are no usual side bars in the head basket and the capsule is surrounded by special shaped acoustical lenses placed on the top and bottom. These facets eliminate standing waves and reflections. The sonically transparent grill uses redirecting mesh to provide protection and additional pop filtering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circuitry of the TF08 microphones integrates the highest quality components for low noise, and very natural and low coloration sonics. The TF08 has extremely high overload capability and handles and passes an undistorted output signal up to 10V!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TF08 body utilizes the distinguished design characteristics of our ribbon microphones and is from stainless steel, with hexagonal grill. The TF08 comes with a microphone holder and a US made wooden storage box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated to facilitate a wide range of applications the TF08 delivers smooth sound, with deep bass response and an un-hyped, sibilance free, top end. Due to the un-colored and neutral nature of the sonics built into the TF08, it is especially suitable for applications where sibilance-free sound is a priority, notably vocals and voice over applications. The extended low end and smooth top end make the TF08 an excellent choice for violins, brass instruments, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitars, drum overheads, room microphones, orchestra, and choir among other recording, broadcast, and classical music applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"listItalic featuring\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in the USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5-year parts warranty\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Samar Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":5124626350112,"sku":null,"price":832.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0179\/7585\/products\/Omni_8_TF08.jpg?v=1511535057"},{"product_id":"purple-audio-action-500-series-compressor-limiter","title":"Purple Audio ACTION 500 Series Compressor \/ Limiter","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned to work in standard 500 racks\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Action by Purple Audio features\u003c\/strong\u003e a constant impedance 600 ohm input attenuator feeding the input transformer, just like our \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.purpleaudio.com\/products\/mc77\"\u003eMC77\u003c\/a\u003e units.

Clean or dirty, squashed or controlled, the Action will give you both.Bass? Control, punch, tone, every bass I run into the Action comes out sounding either more aggressive or smoother, both with all the detail you'd want.Kick and snare can get really mean and tight!Anything else you want to throw at it? I guarantee this box will help it sound better.Now the Action also comes with a warning... It has a TON of gain and it takes every engineer that plays with it for the first time an \"OMG\" moment as they scramble for the output knob... 😉 but it can be a super clean gain if you want it to be. Basically I'm in love with this box. I even had Andrew @ Purple Audio match the two that I have so I can use them on a stereo buss and it does miraculous things.Buy it.

Traditional wisdom holds that linear power supplies are ideal for audio and generate less noise and interference.  However, in the case of a 10 slot series 500 rack, even a well designed linear power supply generates a substantial magnetic hum field and far too much heat to allow for internal mounting. This problem is caused in part by the wide variation of line voltage across the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the advancement of switching power supplies it is now possible to have a switcher that does not compromise audio performance and delivers or exceeds all specified current needs.  We have spent years perfecting just such a power supply.  We have comparatively tested all of our, and many of our competitors, modules at full bandwidth (10Hz – 500kHz) on lab quality over built bench supplies to make sure that the Sweet Ten is not compromising audio performance in any way. Simply put, your 500 series modules will perform at their highest level in our rack.

They provide a mid-heavy, almost fatiguing sound with limited bass shelving and can, at times, sound clinical to the point of chilliness.

The tweeter dome uses the same phenolic resin doping technique to match the original performance curve, whereas the woofer is composed of the same original pulp - sourced from the same original manufacturer. Crossover network capacitors are also set at the same value, and the MDF chassis matches the resonance of the original NS10 exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure uniformity across each new CLA10, Avantone opted for a machine-pressed technique for the AV10LHF woofer (in place of the lapped seam design).

– especially when it comes to recording. How great would it be if you could send your vocals, drums, keyboards, etc… through an effects pedal and come up with a sound that no one else has? Well, now you can do all that and much more with the Analog Alien EPI (Effects Pedal Interface).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe EPI is a high-end routing pedal that enables you to take the signal from your effects pedal and record it directly into your DAW, or analog tape deck, professionally – without any loss of signal or fidelity. The EPI does this by automatically adjusting the impedance and voltage levels coming from your effects pedals, so that they will interface properly with professional recording studio levels. The EPI also has RCA -10 dBu input and output jacks,\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003efor connection to non-professional signal operating levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe EPI has two separate insertion points that are independent of each other – A\u0026amp;B. These insertion points enable you to set up two separate signal chains and switch between either of them, or have them both on at that same time. You can blend both signal paths independently from each other, and then combine them at the balanced XLR, buffered 1\/4″ or RCA -10 dBu outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eYou can also plug the output of your stomp box directly into the input of the EPI and take advantage of its unique input circuit.

You can send a pre-recorded track to any effects pedal and then re-record the signal back into your DAW. If you ever wondered what your vocal or snare drum tracks would sound like through a fuzz pedal, now you’ll know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe EPI can also be used as a, A-B box, with both A\u0026amp;B on at the same time, a Direct Box (DI), a Re-Amp Box, or you can split your guitar’s signal and send it out to 4 separate amps, with 4 separate effects, all at the same time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eIn live stage situations, you can hook up two separate pedal boards to the A\/B insertion jacks and have each board on independently, or both on at the same time, while simultaneously sending your effected signal to the house PA and your guitar amp!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe Analog Alien EPI will enable you to use your effects pedals in ways you never even thought of.

The analog drive circuitry allows the MBC’s converter to be fed by either a class-A transformerless path for maximum transparency, or by custom inter-stage audio transformers with variable Silk for a wide variety of tonal enhancements. Coupled with an astonishingly\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emusical limiter, the MBC is always the best choice to capture your analog signals with breathtakingly three-dimensional accuracy.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Long Time Coming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith over seven decades of analog circuit design experience, Mr. Rupert Neve had never considered a converter worthy of his hallmark until the release of the RMP-D8 Dante-connected microphone preamplifier in 2018. While the RMP was primarily designed as a mic preamp, its adoption by engineers at the highest levels of recording, mastering, and touring as their preferred converter led to the development of the MBC, creating a new standard for PCM conversion quality.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual Path Analog Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs the last link in the analog chain before digitization, converter drive circuitry is critical in determining the imprinted digital sound quality. From the ground up, the MBC was designed for reference performance regardless of genre or desired sonic character, and the key to this lies in the quality and adaptability of the analog drive circuitry.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor a bolder, more powerful imprint, a custom-designed inter-stage transformer with Rupert’s acclaimed Silk circuitry can be inserted to recreate the classic tonality of his vintage designs. Uniquely, unlike our audio transformers intended for line-level output, this new transformer is designed to achieve output transformer harmonic content characteristics at a level appropriate for input to the converter itself. \u003cbr\u003eWith the addition of variable Silk, the engineer is able to precisely dial in the desired amount of harmonic content – with the Red mode highlighting harmonics in the mid and high frequencies, and the Blue mode accentuating harmonics in the low-end. \u003cbr\u003eFrom a subtle transformer tonality without Silk, to significantly more color than vintage modules with the Silk \/ Texture circuit fully pushed, the selectable transformer\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epath fills your tracks with enhanced dimensionality and power.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen maximum transparency and fidelity is desired\u003c\/strong\u003e, the transformerless path provides extraordinary detail and clarity. While many transformerless circuits suffer from thin tonal balance and a lack of punch, the MBC’s Class-A circuitry was painstakingly designed to deliver a beautiful sense of clarity, with vibrant detail at both high and low frequencies. As an additional tonal palette to capture your tracks, the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etransformerless path is an essential complement to the weighty, classic sound of the transformer path. No matter what sonic character you’re seeking, the MBC can provide it at the push of a button.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompound Active Release Analog Limiter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe challenge here was to design a limiter that could act as both a musical sculpting tool exceeding the quality of available plug-in limiters, while also being able to act as a transparent safety limiter for tracking or live performance \u0026amp; broadcast.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo achieve this, we refined our compound active release topology to enhance both the accuracy and musicality of the limiter response. The resulting limiter achieves both transparency and the capability of pushing the level of tracks or mixes without damage to the integrity of the source.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo further adapt the sound of the limiter, we’ve added a number of controls to fine-tune its response. The built-in Side Chain High-Pass Filter, sweepable from 20-250Hz, minimizes the limiter’s reaction to low frequencies, which tend to be more sustained in nature than high frequencies. The threshold control sets the maximum levels for your digital signal, and the variable release time constant alters the response characteristic to better fit different source material. To further push levels into the limiter, the class-A line amp stage is capable of adding 20dB of ultra-clean gain. The limiter may be used as a dual mono or stereo linked design via the Link switch, depending on the desired use.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMastering-Grade Conversion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe MBC’s 24-bit\/192kHz converters were developed after years of careful listening, and represent a further advancement of the design within the RMP-D8.
