API 525A FET Compressor Module – 500 Series

API 525A: FET Compressor Module – 500 Series

API 525A: FET Compressor Module – 500 Series

• NEW 525A model, with more features:
  • NEW: Variable Attack from 15 microseconds to 15 milliseconds
  • NEW: 7 Release modes available (0.05 to 2.0 Seconds)
• Module for 500 series. Requires Lunchbox API 500-8B, rack API 500VPR or compatible
• ‘Ceiling’ control, for fine adjustment of its pushbutton functions and to combine Threshold and Gain Make-up
  • Thanks to its "ceiling" control, it is capable of increasing gain reduction and simultaneously increasing the output level, so that you can modify the dynamics in real time, without the risk of altering the output level.
• The same “heart” as the original API 525 from the 70s
• Compressor/limiter with ‘feedback’ peak detection
  • A switch selects the ratio between 2:1 and 20:1, changing the operation type from compressor to limiter.
• VU meter for gain reduction
• Patented API technology:
  • Transformers
  • Operational amplifiers 2510 and 2520
• True Bypass
•
