Overview
U2373 – CRAZY TUBE CRUSHER
INNOVATIVE COMBINATION OF A TUBE-BASED LIMITER AND A SOUND-SHAPING STAGE FOR MAXIMUM SOUND FLEXIBILITY
The U2373 “Crazy Tube Crusher” is a novel, versatile audio tool for tone shaping and dynamics control, based on a high-quality pentode tube circuit. It combines a precise limiter with a flexible tone control stage.
U2379 tube distortion amplifier
Specific sound characteristics of different tube circuits
The circuit of the distortion splits into three stages:
“first gain station” – “input selector” – “ouput selector” “dynamic distortion stage” – “bias” – “gain” – “resonant charging frequency” – “swinging choke resonant + width” – “output stage driver” – “output” – “hight pass inductor”
V2350c – Universal amplifier module
High-quality matching amplifier as an interface for balanced and unbalanced signal sources with different levels and impedances for adaptation to studio levels.
• 11 step mode switch to select the source and adjust the impedance
• 41 step switch with ¼ dB resolution
• Impedance potentiometer for optimal adjustment of signal sources
• Backlit range switch to increase the impedance adjustment
V2359j amp4ribbon
Microphone preamplifier with three integrated filters
Continuously adjustable preamplification from 26 dB to 59 dB, switchable attenuation (-15 dB pad), tonal adjustment of the treble range via a Baxandall tone control, midrange via a quasi-parametric equalizer and low frequencies via a high-pass filter, impedance matching from 150 ohms to 22 kOhms and switchable +48 V phantom power.
W2324 phase shifter
High-precision tool for correcting phase problems
Thanks to the stepless adjustment of the phase angle, the W2324 phase shifter is the ultimate tool for dealing with phase problems in detail and precisely, even when correcting room-related problems in the bass range.
W2344 MK3
MS-Matrix, Extended Stereo Image Processing System
Processing audio material in stereo and M/S:
Existing signal processors can be equally integrated into the stereo and M/S signal path via two flexible loop-in paths.
Universalfilter W2377 MK2
A fully parametric filter with three switchable frequency ranges covers the entire audio spectrum from 20 Hz to 23.3 kHz.
• Fully parametric filter with a wide frequency range from 20 Hz to 23.3 kHz
• 3 switchable, overlapping frequency ranges: 20 Hz to 233 Hz, 200 Hz to 2330 Hz, 2 kHz to 23.3 kHz
• Continuously adjustable frequency range with high resolution via potentiometer
• Variable bandwidth adjustment (Q factor 0.3 to 10) via 9-position ELMA switch
• Continuously adjustable level range from -10 dB to +10 dB via potentiometer
• Frequency-selective high-pass and low-pass function across the entire frequency range
• Illuminated switch for true-bypass function
W2389j (f) M/S-Master junior
Conversion from stereo to M/S and back
The analog-based W2389j precision M/S matrix allows for separate access to the Mid and Side components of a stereo signal, thereby opening up unique creative possibilities in mastering. Thanks to built-in conversion back to L/R, using the matrix is particularly straightforward; it can simply be inserted into the stereo signal path.
