The elixir will suit those who desire a recording preamplifier where just a slight amount of bass colour is added to the original signal whilst retaining full treble extension and a smooth midrange - warm, sweet, liquid - the perfect blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elixir circuit design uses two BE40 True Class A amplifiers in a transformeless input arrangement followed by two newly designed BE50 True Class A high current audio buffers that drive a Lundahl LL1517 output transformer. The topology is balanced throughout with the transformer providing the balanced to balanced output conversion and common mode rejection. This set up is quite different to most single amplifier 500 series preamps and ensures excellent transient response, extended bandwidth and very good induced noise rejection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking at the distortion specifications, the presence of the Lundahl* output transformer adds a subtle amount of harmonic at low frequencies thereby enhancing the bottom end but without sacrificing the wide bandwith needed for good clarity and transient response in the top end. The output configuration of the elixir results in a maximum output level of +34dBu before clipping, which means it can comfortably deliver clean audio into all analogue or digital recorders without overload.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGain range of the microphone input is 22dB to 70dB or -2dB to 50dB with the -20dB pad selected. More than enough for ribbon microphones. The input impedance (selected with the IN Z switch) is 4000 ohms in the H position or 1200 ohms in the L position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe instrument input on the elixir features a \"bootstrapped FET\" high to low impedance convertor that then feeds the elixir amplifier stages. Selection of the instrument input is automatic when a jack is inserted on the front panel input. Gain range of the instrument input is 10db less than the mic input at 12dB to 60dB. The input impedance is switchable 1,000,000 ohms or 20,000 ohms with the IN Z switch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuzzaudio elixir Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAPI 500VPR Series rack module format - plug in and play!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced analogue technology - not a clone or copy of products from the past.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully discrete hi-bias wide bandwidth differential Class A amplifiers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatched and selected semiconductors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformerless input, straightline single path.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh performance Lundahl output transformer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e41 position max trimmed GAIN control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimized \"grunty\" Class A amplifiers for the input\/output functions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Mute and Hi\/Lo input impedance switches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate four LED peak level meter. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Buzzaudio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31461771051054,"sku":"SBUZELIXIR","price":750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/2988\/4462\/products\/sbuzelixir_2_new.jpg?v=1578922724"},{"product_id":"buzzaudio-essence-compressor-api-500-series","title":"Buzzaudio Essence - Compressor API 500 Series","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe essence is a True Class A Optical Compressor designed to fit the API 500 VPR Series rack frames offering a great feature set in a compact package.

The design goal of the SOC-1.1 was to further enhance the attributes of optical compression to provide the user with alot more functionality as well as improve the compressor response to real world audio signals. We have carefully examined the characteristics of the LDR and developed a truly unique process to control it. This process we call the Differential Drive Side Chain topology (DDSC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DDSC circuit separates the positive and negative audio waveform in the compressor side chain and processes them in identical but electrically opposite paths. The resulting control signals are applied to two separate LED (light emitting diode) and LDR elements of our own design, one for positive, the other for negative signals. What this achieves is a compression characteristic that is more \"in tune\" with the audio source because the attack and release time settings are applied independently to the positive and negative elements of the signal, not just to the combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs far as we are aware, no other audio compressor in the market today employs this technique. The benefits of the DDSC design are most apparent when compressing low frequencies such as bass guitar and kick drums, but the SOC is equally at home on just about any audio source you can throw at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuzz Audio SOC1.1 Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls for Attack, Release, Ratio, Drive and Output Levels. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique Differential Drive Side Chain design \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig knobs, large LED backlit VU meters (no bulbs to change). \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate power supply regulators for audio\/sidechain sections. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach channel individually power regulated. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto bypass\/mute relay when power lost. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronically balanced inputs and outputs on XLR. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain reduction metering that doesn't drift. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew generation opamps utilized in the audio path. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Buzzaudio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31461771509806,"sku":"SBUZSOC11","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/2988\/4462\/products\/sbuzsoc11_2_new.jpg?v=1578922695"},{"product_id":"buzzaudio-tonic-3-band-eq-api-500-series","title":"Buzzaudio Tonic - 3-band EQ API 500 Series","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe tonic offers 3 bands of equalisation with a versatile sweep midrange section and fixed two frequency high and low bands.
