STEREO

MK2-T

The Active function switches the Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T on or off.

The illuminated switch indicates that the Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T

has been activated. The Active function is a relay hard-bypass

function that works on both XLR and jack connections. In the

event of a power failure the Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T is automati-

cally switched to hard-bypass (power failure safety).

The Active status-LED flashes after switching on Power indica-

ting that the two Sovtek 12AX7 tubes are warming up. After the

tubes have reached their operational temperature the relays

switch audio to the outputs. When activating the MK2-T you will

notice a little change in sound which is caused by the tubes and

their typical sound characteristics.

The Stereo Vitalizer MK2-T features a Drive control that enables

you to set the level at which the Vitalizer filter network operates.

The level can be changed between -20 dB and +6 dB.

To run the unit hotter set the level between the centre position

(0dB) and the clockwise position (+6 dB) with the proviso that the

Clip LED on the front panel is not regularly flashing. This will

achieve processing at a lower input sensitivity and will result in a

more intensely processed sound. Conversely, in order to achieve

milder processing, set the level between the centre position (0 dB)

and the counter clockwise position (-20 dB).The Clip LED lights up

around 3 dB before the effect signal path is potentially over-

driven. Make sure that the Clip LED only lights up briefly, if at all. It

is essential to avoid the Clip LED being lit up for any length of

time.

The Bass Sound control is responsible for the ‘colour’ or timbre. If

you move the Bass Sound control to the right, you get a drier,

percussive bass sound, known as Tight. As a result of this, on the

right-hand side of the scaling points, there are squares which

increase in size, in line with increased intensity. They symbolise

the contoured Tight bass sound.
