API 527A 500 Series Compressor/Limiter

Description: Classic API Compression for Your 500 Series Rack The API 527A will infuse your projects with the same unmistakable sound that launched a thousand hit records. The 527A takes API's popular 500 Series compressor/limiter module and elevates it with an overhauled 10-segment gain reduction meter and a bypass switch with a soft bypass option for adding color to a signal without compression. This module teems with signature API sound, courtesy of 2510 and 2520 discrete op-amps, and it includes 31-position detented controls for easy repeatability. The 527A offers both feed-forward and feedback compression, hard- and soft-knee compression, and API's patented Thrust function for frequency-dependent sidechain control. You can also link two 527A modules together for effortless stereo operation. Note: This is not a standalone product — it requires a compatible 500 Series chassis/power supply to function.

And with the 527A, you've got a wide range of characters to choose among and dial in. To start, the 527A has API's patented Thrust highpass filter before its RMS detector, which gives you frequency-dependent sidechain control for punchy low end. The best of the old and new There are two types of compression onboard the API 527A: "old" and "new." The old style uses the feedback type of compression found on the classic early-'70s 525; the new style uses a feed-forward type like that of many popular modern compressors.Flexible bypass options The engineers here at Sweetwater have found that the 527A's flexible bypass options make it useful in a myriad of situations. You can remove this 500 Series module from your signal path altogether, which saves you time in the studio — no need to physically un-patch the device. Beyond that, you can use the 527A's soft bypass function to impart its analog flavor to your signal without compressing it, much like the 529 bus compressor.API 527A 500 Series Compressor/Limiter Features: Audio circuit uses 2510 and 2520 Discrete Op Amps with transformer output Detented, continuously variable, 31-position Threshold, Ratio, Out, Attack, and Release controls 10-segment LED meter displays selectable Gain Reduction and VU Overload indicator LED Patented Thrust switch for frequency-dependent side chain control Hard- and soft-knee compression settings Selectable New/Old switch for modern feed-forward or vintage feedback operation Link 2 527A modules together for effortless stereo operation Flexible soft and hard relay bypass options SpecificationDetail Processor Type Feedback Type Compressor Number of Channels 1 Controls Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Output, Thrust, Knee, Type (Old, New), Link, Meter Threshold +10dB to -20dB Ratio 1:1 to 1:Infinity Frequency Response 20Hz-20kHz Bypass Hard Bypass, Soft Bypass Module Slot Size Single Depth 7.5" Weight 2.15 lbs.
