Product description

*** B-STOCK / DEMO ***
B-Stock / Demo betekent dat een product niet meer hagelnieuw in de verpakking zit. Het kan zijn dat het product is teruggestuurd door een klant of dat het heeft gediend als tijdelijke vervanging van een defect model. Het kan ook zijn dat een product door ons is gebruikt voor demonstratiedoeleinden. Meestal heeft zo’n product in onze showroom gestaan maar het kan ook zijn dat het product aan een of meerdere klanten is uitgeleend. B-Stock / Demo apparatuur is altijd is goede staat en volledig werkend. Tenzij anders vermeld wordt hierop 12 maanden garantie verleend gerekend vanaf de aankoopdatum.

*** B-STOCK / DEMO ***
B-Stock / Demo means a product is not brand new. It might no longer be packed in its original box. It can, for example, be a product that has been returned by a client after a try-out period or that it has been served as a temporary substitute for a product being under repair. It can also be used by us for demonstration purposes. B-Stock / Demo equipment is always in good working order and is without noteworthy damages. Unless stated otherwise, we will grant a warranty period of 12 months from invoice date.

Originally released in the 70's, the API 525 is a "feedback" type compressor. An input (threshold) control and output (make-up gain) control are provided, along with an additional "Ceiling" fine-tune function which can increase gain reduction (lower threshold) while simultaneously raising output level to match, so the user can alter dynamics "on the fly" without level changes. A compression/limit switch sets ratio at either 2:1 or 20:1. Attack time is as fast as 15u/s. Four auto release modes are offered via two switches, 0.1s, 0.5s, 1.5s, & 2.0s. A De-Ess function inserts an inverse vocal energy curve filter in the detector for effective sibilance/pop reduction. The 525 design has been taken from the original blue prints and spec control drawings from the API archives.

Release times vary with frequency, with high frequency / full bandwidth content released faster than lower frequencies for natural envelope tracking. Attack time is fixed, chosen to catch the fastest peaks, without "pumping". Equally useful as a tracking, mixdown or program compressor/limiter, the 525 utilizes "vintage" dynamics control and an easy to use multi-function control set. The 525 has a hard-wire bypass switch, a balanced input, and a pinout that is the same as all the other 500 series modules. Two or more 525s can be linked for multi-channel compression.

The API 525 Compressor makes use of the 2510 and 2520 op-amps and exhibits the reliability, long life, and uniformity which are characteristic of all API products.
