500 Series Compressor/Limiter with Dynamic Presence Control
The COMPRESSOR LIMITER 522 brings state of the industry dynamics control to a compact 500 Series format processor that is good enough to wear the Midas name. When used in conjunction with the LEGEND L10, L6, or other standard 500 Series rackmount chassis, the 522 provides the ideal solution for users seeking the legendary Midas sound in a modular format that boasts upgraded, premium-quality performance. Additionally, the 522’s dynamic Presence control enables operators to add “air” to vocals without the unwanted noise or pumping effects found in competing products – and reduces the risk of feedback occurrence during live performance.
Product Features
- Compact 500 Series premium compressor/limiter with dynamic presence control
- Fully variable dynamic presence feature preserves high mid-range frequencies for a more natural sound during compression
- Dynamic presence control adds “air” to vocals without introducing noise or pumping effects and reduces the risk of feedback during live performances
- Manual envelope controls with linear peak-sensing compression or easy to use Auto mode with RMS compression
- Soft or hard knee compressor response with selection switch
- Sidechain high pass filter with selection switch eliminates undesirable low frequency compression artefacts
- High performance electronically balanced input stage with high common-mode rejection
- High power balanced output drives long audio cables with ease
- Precision gain reduction and signal level metering
- True hardware bypass selection switch removes all circuitry from the signal path when compression is not required
- Power up mute relays prevent switch on thumps
- Premium quality components throughout for a crystal-clear audiophile signal path
