BAE 500C 500 Series FET Compressor

Classic FET Compression for Your 500 Series RackThe FET compressors of the 1960s and '70s shaped the sound of innumerable great recordings. Inspired by those time-honored designs, the BAE 500C 500 Series module features controls for input and output gain, plus four selectable classic compression ratios of 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, and 20:1; to which BAE adds a barely-there 2:1 ratio which still gives you the analog warmth of the 500C's 2520-style op-amps and transformer-coupled output. Want to go through the circuitry without any compression? Simply hit the GR Off button. On the other hand, if you're looking to mercilessly crush your signal, go for the infamous "all-buttons-in" (ABI) mode. A side-chain highpass filter is onboard for those times when you wish to minimize or eliminate the influence of low frequencies on gain reduction. With its lightning-fast response time and pristine signal path, the amazingly versatile 500C is your go-to body h2 ul ul li ul li:before ul ul li ul li:before h2 h2:first-of-type h2 h4 tr th td tr:nth-child(2n + 1) td @media screen and (max-width: 800px) } @media screen and (max-width: 600px) } Sweetwater is an Authorized BAE Dealer Genuine Open Box Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty BAE 500C 500 Series FET Compressor 500 Series FET Compressor with Input, Output, Attack, and Release Controls; Six Compression Ratios, and Sidechain Highpass Filter Classic FET Compression for Your 500 Series Rack The FET compressors of the 1960s and '70s shaped the sound of innumerable great recordings.

It's great for taming peaks on brass and reeds, and it renders string sections shimmery and creamy-smooth. It's a must-have for punchy parallel processing on drums, and if you have two of them, the possibilities become even greater. Handwired in California, the 500C is built to BAE's usual exacting standards with premium components and a classic circuit design. Every studio needs a good compressor/limiter, and if you're already invested in the 500 Series, the BAE 500C is a no brainer.BAE 500C 500 Series FET Compressor Features: Classic FET gain reduction circuit design 3 x 2520-style op-amps Transformer-coupled output Feedback-style peak limiter Sidechain highpass filter: 6dB/octave @ 125Hz Hard bypass switch Gain Reduction On/Off Compression ratios: 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, ABI ("all-buttons-in") Full casing enclosure High-quality components throughout Maximum input before clipping: +27dBu Noise: -82dB (+4dBu input, 1KHz, A-weighted, GR off) THD+N: 0.15% (+4dBu input, 1KHz, A-weighted, GR off) Frequency response: 10Hz-22KHz (+0.3dB/-0dB ) Single-width module, requires compatible 500 Series chassis Current Draw: Approximately 120mA/rail Handcrafted in BAE's North Hollywood, CA facility SpecificationDetail Processor Type FET Compressor Number of Channels 1 Controls Input, Output, Release, Attack Ratio 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, ABI Bypass Hard bypass switch Power Usage ±16V DC, 120mA RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
