1. DISCRETE CLASS A STEREO IMPULSE SHAPER L4 ALLIANCE 3 O Welcome to the world of impulse shaping The nvelope 500 is capable of making subtle or drastic chang es to a sound by providing control over its attack and sustain characteristics This is very useful for reshaping individual tones and is a wonderful tool in any mixing situation as well The nvelope 500 operates independently of the specific level of a signal and unlike with compressors you do not have to spend a lot of time trying to balance a set of complex controls to quickly get the results you seek With its unique Dual Band mode the nvelope 500 gives you enhanced control over processing and can easily handle com plex program material Its dynamics sections can also be by passed allowing it to function as a flexible high low shelf EQ We re sure you ll be happy to know the nvelope 500 offers true dual mono or linked stereo operation whether you are using it in Full Range Dual Band or EQ mode Compatibility iss us gege E REEL es 3 Installation ea nn 3 Controls session 4 CONNECTIONS nenne 6 UE Ee IEN 7 Full Range Mode 8 Dual Band Mode 9 EQ Mode 10 Mixed Mode 11 Appendix sun 12 Deutsches Handbuch 16 dd Manuel Fran ais 30 2 elysia Compatibility The nvelope 500 module requires installation into an API 500 series compatible rack frame not included It needs the pow er supply and the audio connectors provide2. Mixed Mode When the nvelope 500 is not in Stereo Link mode the two individual channels can be used as different pro cessors simultaneously VY For example you can shape one signal in Dual Band mode in channel L and a completely different signal in Full Range mode in channel R Or you can connect the output of channel L to the input of channel R and then process the frequency response with the EQ first followed by some nice Dual Band impulse shaping As you can imagine there are lots of possible combinations 11 3 O Technical Details Frequency response lt 10 Hz 400 kHz 3 0 dB THD N 0 dBu 20 Hz 22 kHz 0 006 THD N 10 dBu 20 Hz 22 kHz 0 01 Noise floor 20 Hz 20 kHz Full Range EQ 90 0 dBu Noise floor 20 Hz 20 kHz Dual Band 87 0 dBu A weighted Dynamic range 20 Hz 22 kHz 112 dB Maximum input level 21 dBu Maximum output level 21 dBu Input impedance 10 kOhm Output impedance 68 Ohm CE Conformity elysia GmbH Am Panneschopp 18 41334 Nettetal Ger many declares with sole responsibility that this product complies with the following norms and directives 2006 95 EG Low Voltage Directive formerly 73 23 EWG or 93 68 EWG 89 336 EWG EMC Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive DIN EN 55103 1 EMC of audio equipment Emission DIN EN 55103 2 EMC of audio equipment Immunity This declaration becomes invalid by any unapproved modifi cation of the d
3. elysia The Magic The nvelope 500 is a dynamics processor that can bed change the character of a sound by altering its im pulse structure It gives you direct control over the en velope of a signal by shaping its attack and sustain intensity More specifically a drum set or individual drums can be made to sound more aggressive and punchy by accenting the attack or tones that are already overly aggressive can easily be tamed Other useful applications would be on picked or slapped bass edgy guitar or any kind of piano recording Generally speak ing the nvelope 500 works optimally on audio signals with a significant percussive attack structure As a balance to the attack shaping the sustain parameters offer control over room sound and space An instrument or a reverb tail can sound tighter by reducing its sustain or can gain more depth make a signal sound longer by increasing it The nvelope 500 is a great tool for shaping individual signals but it can be an indispensable resource in mixing situations as well as it effortlessly helps you to bring a sound to the front with more attack and less sustain or blends it gently into the background by reducing its attack and increasing its sustain A unique feature of the nvelope 500 is the enhanced tweak ability offered in Dual Band mode Individual frequency con trols for attack and sustain yield excellent processing results without unwanted artifacts even when utilized on c
