The Obsidian 500 is a stereo VCA bus compressor that has similiar features to its rackmount sibling but with some welcome additions. The cutoff frequency of the HP filter on the 500 is switchable between 60Hz, 105Hz, 125Hz, 185Hz and 330Hz. Also the Obsidian 500 has a “gentile” 1.5:1 compression ratio (perfect for the stereo buss), in addition to the 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 10:1 and 12:1 ratios and hard-limiting ‘Skull’ mode available on the rackmount.
An optional Dual Mono module endows the compressor with external key functionality and an extra gain-reduction meter, for dual-mono compression.
The Obsidian 500 also has stepped controls for easy recall, and transformer-balanced inputs and outputs.
