A silky smooth rainbow of EQ.<br \/>\nDial in any frequency, and be amazed.<br \/>\nWe have yet to come across anyone who does not like this EQ.<\/p>\n<p>Inductor based circuits are the \u201choly grail\u201d of equaliser designs.<br \/>\nThese were used for example in the much favoured Pultec equaliser design, which dates back to the late 1950\u2019s.<br \/>\nOwing to their unique electro-mechanical properties, inductors impart a character all of their own, which is very distinctive.<\/p>\n<p>The Iridium uses 16 inductors spread out over the four bands, with custom-wound Carnhill inductors in the low-mid and low bands, giving precise control and the inductor sound on each band.<\/p>\n<p>Iridium is a Class-A, discrete design, with all components carefully chosen and matched to provide an extremely musical sound. You\u2019ll get a very distinctive sound, which most sound engineers love.<br \/>\nHowever, this circuit is a decidedly modern design with updated techniques and components that were simply not available 60 years ago. This is definitely not a \u201cclone\u201d or \u201ccopy\u201d (we at Interphase Audio do not build clones or copies of anything)<\/p>\n<p>As a consequence of using inductors, this provides a \u201cpeaking\u201d or \u201cbell\u201d characteristic, giving tight control of the frequency selected.<\/p>\n<p>Each band provides switch selection of any of 6 carefully selected frequencies chosen at musically pleasing intervals.<br \/>\nEach band allows very fine control of up to 15dB cut or boost per band.<\/p>\n<p>Iridium is available as 500 series module or as 51x series module.<br \/>\nTo find out more about the difference between 500 and 51x modules, check our 500 page<\/p>\n<p>Our rackmount NDUCR features two Iridium running at +\/- 24 volts.<\/p>\n<p>Iridium Specifications<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Input impedance: 30kohm<br \/>\n\u2022 Common mode rejection: 80dB<br \/>\n\u2022 Distortion: 0.001% (+4dBu output, 1kHz)<br \/>\n\u2022 Frequency response: 7Hz to 70kHz (-3dB)<br \/>\n\u2022 Boost \/ Cut range: +\/-15dB (continuously variable)<br \/>\n\u2022 HF Frequency: 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16 kHz (stepped)<br \/>\n\u2022 HMF Frequency: 1.5, 3, 5 6, 7, 8 kHz (stepped)<br \/>\n\u2022 LMF Frequency: 125, 250, 500, 1k, 2k, 4 kHz (stepped)<br \/>\n\u2022 LF Frequency: 50, 80, 100, 150, 300, 600 Hz (stepped)<br \/>\n\u2022 Filter Q: 1.2 (just over 1 octave)<br \/>\n\u2022 Maximum input level (500 module): +28dBu<br \/>\n\u2022 Maximum input level (51x module): +32dBu<br \/>\n\u2022 Maximum output level (500 module): +28dBu (10k load)<br \/>\n\u2022 Maximum output level (51x module): +32dBu (10k load)<br \/>\n\u2022 Nominal input and output level: +4dBu (electronically balanced)<br \/>\n\u2022 Output impedance: 100 ohm<br \/>\n\u2022 Noise floor (typical, unweighted, EQ on): -80dBu<br \/>\n\u2022 Noise floor (unweighted, EQ off): -100dBu<br \/>\n\u2022 I\/O connections (Rack XLRs): pin 2 +, pin 3 -, pin 1 ground<br \/>\n\u2022 Current requirement: 81mA (maximum) per rail<br \/>\n\u2022 Size and weight: Standard 500 Series, 0.4 kilos<\/p>\n<p>Iridium is available in 4 versions:<br \/>\n* as 500 series module<br \/>\n* as 51x series module<br \/>\n* as DIY module<br \/>\n* as 500 series Duo pack<\/p>\n<p>Unclear about the difference between 500 and 51x modules?
