Universalfilter W2377 Low, Mid & High Band

Voici un excellent égaliseur de mix et mastering. Très précis, très transparent et très punchy. Il fonctionne en stéréo par le biais d'un petit strap qui relie les modules droite et gauche.

Je conseille cet egaliseur dans une chaine de mastering en association avec un Gyraf XIV  ou un Gyraf XXII par exemple.

Il est également idéal pour un traitement soustractif à la prise de son.

The three fully parametric RS Audio Technique W2377 filter modules cover the complete frequency range from 20Hz to 23KHz. The level potentiometer allows continuous gain settings with an effective range of +/-10dB.

The choice of the overlapping frequency bands (low, mid, high), with just three different modules allow precise control of each band and offers the possibility to combine the modules at will. The filter resonance can be set in steps from 0,3 to 10 and via the left stop position respectively the right stop position a high-pass or low-pass filter can be engaged. The frequency control adjusts the limiting frequency of these filters.

The illuminated switches and buttons allow a quick change between processed and unprocessed material. The Off switch activates a true bypass function, which removes the unit from the signal chain without undesired effects. When networking more than one W2377 the Solo switch bypasses all operating units, so that only the chosen module is active. The Focus button inverts the level of a module to allocate  a specific frequency for boost or cut.

The units comply with the API 500 series and can be integrated in any API environment. High-quality ALPS potentiometers and step switches from ELMA ensure a long-term usage of the units for continuous operation. For the alignment to different studio operating levels the level matching of the in- and outputs can be adjusted with a variable resistor on the print board.

• Level potentiometer with midway indent at 0dB

Applications

First-class fully parametric filter module for API 500 systems for frequency correction during recording, mixing and mastering as well as effect filter for limitation of the band.

• Frequency potentiometer for low, mid and high band filter
• 9 stepped ELMA switch for the adjustment of the filter resonance (Q-factor)
• Frequency selective high-pass and low-pass filter function
• Illuminated switches for the true bypass and solo function
• Illuminated button (Focus) activates the invert-function of the level control
