Firstly, the turnover frequency of the high-pass filter on the 500-series version can be switched between 60Hz, 105Hz, 125Hz, 185Hz and 330Hz, where the rackmount version’s filter frequency is fixed. Secondly, the Obsidian 500 has what Dramastic call a “gentile” 1.5:1 compression ratio, in addition to the 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 10:1 and 12:1 ratios available on the original (both models also have a hard-limiting ‘Skull’ mode, the ratio for which isn’t given).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough the Obsidian 500 is a double-width module, the inherent space restrictions in a Lunchbox rack mean it has lost its external side-chain input — but Dramastic have a solution for this, in the form of the optional Dual Mono module. Not only does this endow the compressor with external key functionality, it also has an extra gain-reduction meter, for dual-mono compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther features include stepped controls for easy recall, and transformer-balanced inputs and outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDramastic Audio Obsidian 500 Compressor Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTXIO Enhanced™ Transformer Balanced I\/O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision Stepped Controls To Accurately Recall Settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVCA Feed-Forward Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable Internal High Pass Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion Port For Additional Features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLink Multiple Modules Together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelectable Pad Settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior Imaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRatio settings: 1.5:1, 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 10:1, 12:1 and 20:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttack control range: 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, 10, and 30 mSec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease control range: 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 sec, AUTO and Lo-Fi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHPF settings: 30Hz, 60Hz, 105Hz, 125Hz, 185Hz, 330 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakeup Gain Output 12 db\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dramastic Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31480669044782,"sku":"SDRMOBS500COMP","price":2150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/2988\/4462\/products\/dramastic_obsidian_dual_mono.jpg?v=1578923357"},{"product_id":"dramastic-audio-obsidian-500-dual-mono-expansion","title":"Dramastic Audio Obsidian 500 Dual Mono Expansion","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDramastic Audio Obsidian 500 Dual Mono Expansion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eDramastic Audio Obsidian 500 Dual Mono Expansion\u003c\/strong\u003e is a monitoring tool that allows you to visually see the metering of you left or right channel via meter display.

The fist difference the user will notice is that the unit suffers no ‘shrinkage’ to the audio sound field.

From there, if the user has decided that the audio is a little too smooth for their application a simple click of the release switch to the \"lofi\" setting will net all the \"in your face\" aggression a user may desire. Overall the clarity and performance of this unit is unparalleled by any unit based around a Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) gain reduction cell. At first look it may suggest something from the past, but at first listen the user will understand the future of professional audio.
