Descripción
SAT 500 is a single channel module in 500 format fitted with a saturation circuit, which adds low
order harmonics and smoothly evens the signal, all in an amazingly musical and ear friendly
way. It can significantly increase the RMS level. The sound refers to old tube mixing consoles
and tape recorders.
SAT 500 is equipped with unique solutions shaping the content of harmonics in the processed
signal.
The depth of saturation is smoothly controlled with the DRIVE knob. SAT 500 features
an independent control over DRY and WET signal.
The depth of saturation (the amount of added harmonics) is indicated by two LEDs, lighting
up at 4 and 8% THD.
New version features:
The HI SMOOTH function boost high frequencies before the saturation system and attenuate
them after the saturation system. This function causes a higher saturation of high frequencies
with harmonics, which causes smoothing of the signal and pleasant compression for the ear.
The LO SAFE function reduces the low-frequency amplitude before the saturation system and
boost it after the saturation system. This function «protects» the lowest frequencies before the
fast clipping and is invaluable especially for instruments with a high content of low frequencies
such as bass, kick drum, group of drums or the whole mix.
