PAIR with Consecutive serial numbers

Barely a year old, but I'm getting out of 500 series and moving on to a new Mastering EQ (see my other listing for the IGS Audio RB 500 Mastering Stereo Passive EQ)

Super smooth due to its parallel architecture and a wide range of mid to high frequency shelves with corner frequencies from 800 that Lift the Vocals forward in a mix, all the way up to 34khz to add effortless air. It's unique design means there's nothing else truly like it.

From Kush:
The Sound of Clariphonic 500

A fiendishly clever high frequency equalizer, designed from the ground up with six parallel signal paths that produced the kind of air, sparkle, and presence previously found only in very old, very expensive analog equalizers.

The Clariphonic 500 module makes it affordable to sprinkle that magic on vocals, drums, and individual instruments as well. The signal path is identical to the original rack unit, with a serious kind of voodoo – somehow it brings out the subtle beauty in everything it touches.

The Focus Engine packs a tremendous amount of equalization power into two switches and a knob. The primary thinking behind this engine was to provide a seriously transformative pair of shelves that reach deep down into the midrange to allow for broad adjustments to the timbre and raw energy of the sound. The corners were deliberately tuned to grab all of the high frequencies from the ultrasonics down through the telephonics (Lift), or to do the same but leave the telephonics alone (Open).

Lift - Lowest band, mids (~800hz) and up

Open - Next band, upper-mids (~3k) and up

The whole point of the Clarity Engine was to give engineers access to the kinds of ultrasmooth, pristinely analog high frequencies normally found only in very expensive and coveted equalizers. Units like Massenburg’s 8200, the venerable Sontec, Cranesong’s amazing IBIS… most of us will never have the privilege of gracing our racks with any of these stunning processors, which is a shame, because they offer something up top that almost everyone wants. Your days of wanting are over. The controls, in a nutshell:

Presence - Bite, cutting thru (~4k)

Sheen - Old fashioned treble (~8k)

Shimmer - Electricity (~18k)

Silk - Pure air (~34k)
