September 23, 2000Wave Distribution, of Ringwood, NJ, has announced a distribution arrangement with CLM Dynamics for their DB500s Expounder Equalizer.
The CLM DB500s Expounder is not just a conventional equalizer capable of both surgical precision and extreme creativity. It is also an adaptive equalizer which responds dynamically to the program material, to provide a degree of control and enhancement unavailable in any other type of equalizer.
Two identical channels are provided, each with four frequency bands having considerable band overlap. In addition, Hi-Cut and Lo-Cut filters provide up to 24dB per octave slope, a feature not normally found in conventional equalizers.
A comprehensive selection of bell and shelf responses, variable and widths, slopes and notches makes the Expounder one of the most powerful and versatile equalizers ever designed.
But it doesn't stop there. The LF and HF dynamics sections automatically adapt the degree of boost to suit the program material, expanding the dynamic range of the selected frequencies by up to 5dB. In this way bass instruments can be given extra "punch" and high frequency detail lifted out of the mix.
In addition to this amplitude-domain processing, the Hi-Cut and Lo-Cut filters permit dynamic manipulation of the frequency-domain. By means of the "Track" switch, the Hi-Cut filter allows dynamic noise filtering which is independent of the overall signal level; similarly the Lo-Cut filter performs an inverse function at the bass end of the spectrum.
Using both together means that particularly noisy sources, such as guitar amplifiers and pedals, older keyboards, drum machines and expanders can be cleaned up without resorting to gating.
Further creative potential is unleashed in that these filters can be given a resonant peak at their cut-off frequencies. This in combination with the automatic tracking function gives rise to unique special effects.
Highly musical, low noise circuitry is employed throughout the Expounder and the audio outputs are relay-switched to avoid thumps at power-on and power-off.
The Expounder's US Suggested List Price is $1,999.00. For more information, visit their web site at www.wavedistribution.com. |
