Carnhill based, transformer coupled balanced inputs and outputs for added character and vintage vibe.
73 style class A output stages bring the desired 73 sound to your mix or drum buses.
Microphone input impedance: HI, 1200 Ohm minimum, LO, 300 Ohm minimum. Higher gain positions gradually have greater impedances, optimum for lo gain ribbon mics. Input is transformer balanced and floating.
Line input impedance: 10K Ohms bridging, transformer balanced and floating.
DI input impedance: Greater than 2 Megohms, unbalanced.
Output impedance: Less than 75 Ohms, transformer balanced and floating, to drive a load of 600 ohms (factory terminated).
Maximum output: Greater than +26dBu into 600 ohms.
THD: Less than 0.025% at 1 Khz, less than 0.05% at 100Hz.
Frequency response: 20Hz ( +0.3dB ) to 20Khz (-0.2dB)
Maximum gain: Slightly greater than 80dB
Noise: Less than -125dBu EIN.
EQUALIZER SECTION:
73 High and low shelving bands with additional bell-like response.
73 dual Vinkor inductor based mid band with extended Q functions.
73 inductor based low pass filter.
COMPRESSION SECTION:
Diode-bridge based compression excels in bringing 2nd order harmonic distortion characteristics and true vintage tone while eliminating nasty odd harmonic content.
Ultra-fast attack and release time options never found in vintage designs allows for far more flexible settings, including FET like sounds and volume maximizing without transient artifacts.
Complex sidechain filtering options work with the already common high pass filters, introducing mid band peak type filters and high-frequency compression, allowing bus correction not possible before.
Sidechain SEND and RETURN connections allow for external sidechain signals or further external processing of the internal one.
Blend control offers built-in parallel compression without any external equipment. Blend ON/OFF button allows for instant comparison in between WET
