And now for something completely dierent
The karacter 500 is a box full of vibrant colors. It covers a
complete spectrum including mastering-grade saturation,
tube-inspired distortion and glorious destruction. Gone are
the days when only racks full of outboard gear could achieve
these elusive and highly desirable styles of tonal coloration...
This all-in-one solution oers two separate channels which
can be set up for dual mono, linked stereo or linked and un-
linked M/S operation. Integrated mix stages for parallel signal
processing and the unique Color Control add to its remarkable
exibility.
The entire unit is designed with discrete class-A topology,
so even the most lo- sounds will benet from the karacters
high-end touch. Enhance your tracks or decimate everything –
its a matter of karacter.
Enjoy countless hours of fun with this marvelous machine!
