SPECIFICATION

SILK
Pushing the Silk button engages the Silk circuit, which enhances the source’s harmonic content in a manner very reminiscent of many of Rupert’s class-A vintage designs.

VARI-PHASE
The VARI-PHASE control rotates the phase incrementally, allowing two signals with the same source to be phase aligned. This control is most apparent when the signals being combined are at roughly equal levels, and is generally used when blending an instrument’s direct signal with its amplified signal, as captured by a microphone.

GAIN
A 12-way precision rotary switch covering from Line (0) and Mic from 0 to 66 dB in 6 dB steps.

+48V
Engages phantom power on the microphone input, as supplied by the 500 series rack.

POLARITY
Push button inverts the polarity of the signal path. The symbol “Ø” is often used to denote opposite polarity.

COMPRESSOR
Based around a new LDR (light dependent resister) design, the 517’s opto-coupler compressor has been simplified to a single threshold control with auto make up gain. By default, the compressor is set to a fixed 2:1 ratio with fixed attack and release. To set the compressor, simply dial the threshold control down until the desired amount of compression is achieved. An LED light indicates when the compressor is active.

BLEND
The 517 can be used to combine and compress a direct signal and an amplified signal. To achieve this, use the DI for an instrument’s direct signal and the mic preamp for either the mic’d speaker cabinet signal or an entirely separate source (like a vocal microphone). The blend control allows you to achieve the desired tonal balance between the two sources.

INSTRUMENT GAIN
Front panel TRS Input and passive through for hi-z sources. Continuous gain control from 0dB to 30dB.

THRU & INST 1/4” PHONE JACKS
These 2 jacks are used for instrument direct input and a THRU output to an amp, and are paralleled and wired together, as it is a passive design. Inserting a plug into either jack breaks the normal MIC input and the user has the full range of MIC GAIN and TRIM. These jacks have a 3 mega Ohm input impedance that will provide less loading (i.e. better highs) than most DI boxes, and the sheer amount of gain that is available makes this input extremely versatile.

रेशम

सिल्क बटन को दबाने से सिल्क सर्किट जुड़ जाता है, जो स्रोत की हार्मोनिक सामग्री को रूपर्ट के कई क्लास-ए विंटेज डिज़ाइनों की याद दिलाता है।

वारी-चरण

VARI-PHASE नियंत्रण चरण को क्रमिक रूप से घुमाता है, जिससे एक ही स्रोत वाले दो संकेतों को चरणबद्ध किया जा सकता है। यह नियंत्रण तब सबसे अधिक स्पष्ट होता है जब संयुक्त किए जा रहे सिग्नल लगभग समान स्तर पर होते हैं, और आम तौर पर इसका उपयोग तब किया जाता है जब किसी उपकरण के प्रत्यक्ष सिग्नल को उसके प्रवर्धित सिग्नल के साथ मिश्रित किया जाता है, जैसा कि माइक्रोफोन द्वारा कैप्चर किया जाता है।

पाना

लाइन (0) और माइक से 6 डीबी चरणों में 0 से 66 डीबी तक कवर करने वाला 12-तरफा सटीक रोटरी स्विच।

+48V

500 श्रृंखला रैक द्वारा आपूर्ति की गई, माइक्रोफ़ोन इनपुट पर प्रेत शक्ति संलग्न करता है।

पुश बटन सिग्नल पथ की ध्रुवता को उलट देता है। प्रतीक "Ø" का प्रयोग अक्सर विपरीत ध्रुवता को दर्शाने के लिए किया जाता है।

कंप्रेसर

एक नए एलडीआर (लाइट डिपेंडेंट रिसिस्टर) डिजाइन के आधार पर, 517 के ऑप्टो-कपलर कंप्रेसर को ऑटो मेक अप गेन के साथ सिंगल थ्रेशोल्ड कंट्रोल में सरल बनाया गया है। डिफ़ॉल्ट रूप से, कंप्रेसर निश्चित आक्रमण और रिलीज़ के साथ निश्चित 2:1 अनुपात पर सेट होता है। कंप्रेसर को सेट करने के लिए, बस थ्रेशोल्ड नियंत्रण को तब तक डायल करें जब तक कि वांछित मात्रा में संपीड़न प्राप्त न हो जाए। एक एलईडी लाइट इंगित करती है कि कंप्रेसर कब सक्रिय है।

मिलाना

517 का उपयोग प्रत्यक्ष सिग्नल और प्रवर्धित सिग्नल को संयोजित और संपीड़ित करने के लिए किया जा सकता है। इसे प्राप्त करने के लिए, किसी उपकरण के सीधे सिग्नल के लिए DI और माइक स्पीकर कैबिनेट सिग्नल या पूरी तरह से अलग स्रोत (जैसे वोकल माइक्रोफोन) के लिए माइक प्रीएम्प का उपयोग करें। मिश्रण नियंत्रण आपको दो स्रोतों के बीच वांछित टोन संतुलन प्राप्त करने की अनुमति देता है।

साधन लाभ

हाई-जेड स्रोतों के लिए फ्रंट पैनल टीआरएस इनपुट और पैसिव थ्रू। 0dB से 30dB तक लगातार नियंत्रण प्राप्त करें।
