Available either as a mono 500-series module (running at 24v) or coupled to two of our remarkable Class-A Ascent Mic Preamp\/DIs in a stereo 1RU unit, the Gyrator EQ is as powerful as it is fun to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e4-Bands of Gyration\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gyrator EQ was first developed during what most consider the golden age of solid-state analog audio design: the 1970s. Originally designed to emulate the characteristics of an active inductor EQ (think Neve, API), the Gyrator EQ uses a rather clever combination of an amplifier, resistors and capacitors to accomplish incredibly smooth and musical frequency modifications. The modern-day Phoenix DRS Gyrator EQ gives you High, High-Mid, Low-Mid and Low frequency bands, each notched to proven frequencies from a shimmering 15kHz on down to a thumping 40Hz. There's also a high pass filter at 80Hz, which can eliminate rumble or be used \"against\" low-end boosts for an extra range of unique EQ curves (think: Pultec). Even at extreme boosts and cuts, the Gyrator EQ's uniquely musical filters maintain the core quality of your original signal, allowing you to make bold, gut-level EQ moves that won't sound harsh, slurred or out of phase. Used more subtly, these four filters are capable of highly coherent tone shaping suitable for full mixes and mastering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDriving the Output Circuit for More Tone Shaping\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoenix Audio's renown DSOP-2 output amplifier, with its custom-wound transformer, is able to deliver everything from ultra-clean signals with abundant headroom to fat, fully saturated tones.

Importantly, doing so is effortless and intuitive due to the DRS Gyrator's straight-forward design and unerring musicality. Those who own this EQ tell us that it quickly becomes their \"go to EQ\"—used effortlessly every day across a vast variety of instruments, voices and full mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20Hz to 20kHz +- 0.5dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Output Level\u003c\/strong\u003e: +26dBu @ 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNoise\u003c\/strong\u003e: -90dB @ 20Hz to 20kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput level range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -10dBu to +10dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain Meter\u003c\/strong\u003e: LED Metering (Green = -2dB, +4dbu \u0026amp; +10dbu Yellow = +13dB, Red = +16dbu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24v built PSU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Phoenix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31528118124590,"sku":"SPHE500GYREQ","price":565.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/2988\/4462\/files\/Phoenix-Audio-Gyrator.jpg?v=1683295869"},{"product_id":"phoenix-audio-n90-drc-500-series-mono-compressor","title":"Phoenix Audio N90-DRC - 500 Series Mono Compressor","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePhoenix Audio N90-DRC\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePhoenix Audio N90-DRC\u003c\/strong\u003e is a 500 series mono compressor and gate that can deliver both mellow and transparent dynamic control, and limiter style compression with desirable artefacts when pushed.

While appearing quite elaborate, using the compressor\/gate functions of the N90 is a forgiving and intuitive experience—especially given that this is a solid-state compressor. The ease of use is due to the gradual and progressive behavior of the N90's unique control circuit. Gain reduction begins well below, and continues beyond, the threshold, so you'll never hear a sudden \"grabby\" change in dynamics. Instead, you'll easily dial in fluid dynamic control while simultaneously picking up the rich, lush tone of the N90's discrete Class-A circuit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBut You Can Still Push It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith ratios ranging from 2:1 to 8:1, the N90 is clearly designed for mellow, transparent compression. However, the higher ratios do offer up a fair amount of \"limiter style\" artifacts, especially when you switch the attack to \"fast\" and begin to manually manipulate the compressor's release time. Further, by driving more signal into the N90, a wide range of tones can be derived from the DSOP-2 output stage—from crystal clean to warm, pure Class-A analog saturation. Perhaps most importantly, the N90 makes a smooth transition from transparent to more obvious compression \u003cem\u003eand \u003c\/em\u003eoutput stage saturation, meaning that it's never a fussy or sensitive task to dial in your desired sound.

However, having been designed just before the industry largely abandoned analog tape, the N90 houses one of the most advanced, musical analog gates ever conceived. Similar to the compressor section, the N90's gate is intended to be subtle and musical. Its release function is actually a combination of a \"hold time\" followed by a \"fade time,\" making the N90's gate adept at everything from standard noise gating to even more subtle control of ambience levels relative to main signal. There is also an external key input, allowing you to trigger the gate with an external signal. With the N90's gate at your fingertips, you'll discover (or perhaps rediscover) the subtle art of analog gating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLink Up To 8 Units\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp to eight N90-DRC\/500s can be linked together, allowing the compressor and gate functions to be controlled from just one of the units.

The slender shape and transmission characteristics described below make the Neumann KM184 especially suitable for a very wide range of tasks in the radio and television sector.

The result is a tonal balance that is fresher and livelier when compared to the KM 84 with its flat frequency response in that band. This difference was achieved with just a slight change of the capsule's rear opening, and is not due to resonances. Compared to the KM 84 the dynamic range of the KM 184 increased by 21 dB mainly through the reduction of self- noise level to only 25 dB (CCIR) and an increased sound pressure handling capability of up to 138 dB. The microphone operates without any problems, even if the input of following equipment happens to be unbalanced, for example as in some DAT\/CF recorders. The output of the KM 184, as in all Neumann microphones, is balanced and phantom (48V) powered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phoenix Audio DRS-Q4 MKII is a professional Microphone Preamp and DI with -30dB input pad, High Pass Filter and Class A inputs built into a 1U sized unit so you can easily integrate this outboard gear into your studio.

The output of the KM 184, as in all Neumann microphones, is balanced and phantom (48V) powered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phoenix Audio DRS-Q4 MKII is a professional Microphone Preamp and DI with -30dB input pad, High Pass Filter and Class A inputs built into a 1U sized unit so you can easily integrate this outboard gear into your studio.

Like so many other engineers, you'll find yourself reaching for the DRS Mic Preamp\/DI over and over again to reliably deliver a vast array of outstanding sounds for any instrument or voice you're recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1U unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWith 240V\/110V mains voltage input selector switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e20Hz to 20kHz +- 0.5dB,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Output Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e+26dBu @ 1kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNoise:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-90dB @ 20Hz to 20kHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eXLR and TSR 1\/4″ Jack on rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone\/Line input:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eXLR on Rear Panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDI inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e¼” TS Jack on Front Panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndividual Earth Lift:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePush-button Switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain Range (Mic input):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-30 to -70 in 5dB steps With 10dB more available on the fader.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain reduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e-30dB push-button Mic\/Line switch (Mic input)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Input Impedance DI:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMono 1\/4″ Jack on front panel (no FETs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGain Meter:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLED Metering.

Over the past decade or so, the need for more DIs has skyrocketed as instrumentation has incorporated more and more electronic elements. From elaborate analog synth rigs, to multiple laptops, to loop-stations and more, getting excellent tone from multiple DIs is more important today than ever. With their unique gain architecture, Phoenix's Nice DIs intuitively offer up a wide array of tones, such that working with a direct signal takes on the artistry we tend to associate only with working with mic'd signals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure Class-A Tone at Input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Nice DIs are built around a fully discrete Class-A circuit design, all hand-wired with military-grade silver connections into rugged and portable steel boxes. Our transformerless, electronically balanced, ultra-high impedance (10Mohm) input stage assures that your signals are delivered into the circuit in their full glory. No treble roll off, or sluggish bass response as is rampant with so many DIs. Instead, you'll hear the full-bodied, punchy sounds necessary for delivering the powerful, often bombastic and complex, signals of modern music. Guitars and basses will sing; lush synths will swarm; hard-hitting drum machines will thump and crack—each sound rendered with its transients and full frequency spectrum in tact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Transformer-Balanced Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe output stage of the Nice DIs uses Phoenix Audio's renown DSOP-2, an all discrete output amp based on head-designer Dave Rees's infamous TF1 amp (which he developed for use in vintage Neve modules).

With an easily recalled stepped gain control on every channel, dialing in your exact sound is a breeze.

No treble roll off, or sluggish bass response as is rampant with so many DIs. Instead, you'll hear the full-bodied, punchy sounds necessary for delivering the powerful, often bombastic and complex, signals of modern music.

Deliver more gain to achieve a beautifully saturated sound, back off for a cleaner, hi-fi sound, or choose any flavor in-between. And because these DIs can accept line level, you can use the N8, for example, anywhere a line-amp is necessary: along side your console, in a live setting, or simply in any patch to pick up that Class-A tone. With an easily recalled stepped gain control on every channel, dialing in your exact sound is a breeze.

While appearing quite elaborate, using the compressor\/gate functions of the N90 is a forgiving and intuitive experience—especially given that this is a solid-state compressor. The ease of use is due to the gradual and progressive behavior of the N90's unique control circuit. Gain reduction begins well below, and continues beyond, the threshold, so you'll never hear a sudden \"grabby\" change in dynamics. Instead, you'll easily dial in fluid dynamic control while simultaneously picking up the rich, lush tone of the N90's discrete Class-A circuit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBut You Can Still Push It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith ratios ranging from 2:1 to 8:1, the N90 is clearly designed for mellow, transparent compression. However, the higher ratios do offer up a fair amount of \"limiter style\" artifacts, especially when you switch the attack to \"fast\" and begin to manually manipulate the compressor's release time. Further, by driving more signal into the N90, a wide range of tones can be derived from the DSOP-2 output stage—from crystal clean to warm, pure Class-A analog saturation. Perhaps most importantly, the N90 makes a smooth transition from transparent to more obvious compression \u003cem\u003eand \u003c\/em\u003eoutput stage saturation, meaning that it's never a fussy or sensitive task to dial in your desired sound.

However, having been designed just before the industry largely abandoned analog tape, the N90 houses one of the most advanced, musical analog gates ever conceived. Similar to the compressor section, the N90's gate is intended to be subtle and musical. Its release function is actually a combination of a \"hold time\" followed by a \"fade time,\" making the N90's gate adept at everything from standard noise gating to even more subtle control of ambience levels relative to main signal. There is also an external key input, allowing you to trigger the gate with an external signal.
