{"product_id":"compressor-api-525","title":"API 525 compressor","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginally launched in the 70s, the API 525 is a “feedback” compressor. An input control (threshold) and output control (make-up gain) are provided, along with an additional “Ceiling” fine-tuning function that can increase the gain reduction (lower limit) while simultaneously increasing the output level. to match, so the user can change dynamics “on the fly” without level changes. A compression\/limit switch sets the ratio to 2:1 or 20:1. The attack time is as fast as 15u\/s. Four automatic release modes are offered via two switches, 0.1s, 0.5s, 1.5s and 2.0s. A De-Ess function inserts an inverse vocal energy curve filter into the detector for effective sibilance\/pop reduction. The 525 design was taken from the original blueprints and specification control drawings in the API files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease times vary by frequency, with high-frequency\/full-bandwidth content released more quickly than lower frequencies for natural envelope tracking. The attack time is fixed, chosen to catch the fastest peaks, without “pumping”. Equally useful as a tracking, mixing, or program compressor\/limiter, the 525 utilizes “vintage” dynamic control and an easy-to-use multi-function control suite. The 525 has a hard-wire bypass switch, a balanced input, and a pinout that is the same as all other 500 series modules. Two or more 525s can be connected for multichannel compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The API 525 Compressor makes use of the 2510 and 2520 operational amplifiers and exhibits the reliability, long life and uniformity that are characteristics of all API products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch1 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Exact reissue of the original API 525 from the early 70s;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePeak detection feedback compressor\/limiter;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Variable threshold and output levels;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e The exclusive “Ceiling” control combines the main functions;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Analog VU meter for gain reduction monitoring;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 4 switchable release modes;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e De-ess function;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Traditional API fully discrete circuit design;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Active balanced input\/output;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Wire bypass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch1 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Number of channels: 1;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Controls: Threshold, Output, Release Mode, Ceiling, Release;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Ratio: 2:1 or 20:1;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Frequency response: 30Hz–20kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"API","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43949597425882,"sku":"","price":1230.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/6720\/3290\/files\/Imagem_168796ee-da00-4c84-b22d-9e5adcf0669a.png?v=1686396259","url":"https:\/\/musicsa.store\/products\/compressor-api-525","provider":"Music SA - Plugins de Áudio e Equipamentos Musicais","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
