It's the only stereo 500-series compressor in the Locomotive Audio lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecise 21-step knobs instead of smooth pots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInput and output gain are set with 21-position stepped knobs, giving repeatable, recallable settings from session to session, and separate AC and DC threshold controls let you shape both the onset of compression and its knee and effective ratio, rather than relying on one all-purpose threshold knob. Custom interstage transformers are built to keep compression smooth without harsh artifacts under heavy gain reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStereo-link and a sidechain filter for bus duty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stereo-link switch ties both channels together for coherent mix-bus or mastering compression, a sidechain high-pass filter protects low frequencies from over-compression, and a hardwire bypass plus a separate power switch (to extend tube life when the unit isn't in use) round out the feature set packed into one 500-series module. Stepped gain knobs make it easy to recall exact settings between sessions, which matters more on a mix bus or mastering chain than on a single vocal track, where repeatability counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-channel (stereo) vari-mu tube compressor, 500-series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOS dual triode tubes, two per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21-step input and output gain knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate AC and DC threshold controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSidechain high-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo-link switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardwire bypass and a separate power switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom interstage transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 2-channel vari-mu tube compressor, 500-series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttack: 10-75ms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease: 150ms - 1.5 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20Hz – 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS\/N: \u0026gt;70dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 2.3kg (5lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: +16V\/260mA, -16V\/300mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Locomotive Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54961112908113,"sku":"61007","price":1843.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/Locomotive_Audio_Power_Mu_500_1.jpg?v=1789721337","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/es\/products\/locomotive-audio-power-mu-500","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
