OWNER'S MANUAL

SAT 500 is a single channel module in 500 format fitted with
a saturation circuit, which adds low order harmonics
and smoothly evens the signal, all in an amazingly musical
and ear friendly way. It can significantly increase the RMS
level. The sound refers to old tube mixing consoles and tape
recorders.
SAT 500 is equipped with unique solutions shaping the content
of harmonics in the processed signal.
The HI SMOOTH function boost high frequencies
before the saturation circuit and attenuate
them after the saturation circuit. This function
causes a higher saturation of high frequencies
with harmonics, which causes smoothing
of the signal and pleasant compression for
the ear.
The LO SAFE function reduces the low-frequency
amplitude before the saturation circuit and boost
it after the saturation circuit. This function
"protects" the lowest frequencies before the fast
clipping an d is in v al u a b l e especially
for instruments with a high content of low
frequencies such as bass, kick drum, group
of drums or the whole mix.
The depth of saturation is smoothly controlled
with the DRIVE knob.
SAT 500 features an independent control over DRY
and WET signal.
The depth of saturation (the amount of added
harmonics) is indicated by two LEDs, lighting up
at 4 and 8% THD.
