RUPERT NEVE DESIGNS NEW STEREO INPUT AND INDUCTOR EQ/COMPRESSOR MODULE AES 2011
RUPERT NEVE DESIGNS NEW STEREO INPUT AND INDUCTOR EQ/COMPRESSOR MODULE
FROM GEAR SLUTZ
At this year’s AES Convention in New York City, Rupert Neve Designs is announcing the release of two new modules for its groundbreaking and multi-award-winning 5088 console: the 5051 Inductor EQ/Compressor module and the 5088 Stereo Module.
The 5051 combines a classic three-band EQ based on Rupert’s vintage designs with the power and flexibility of the Portico Series compressor. Utilizing a discrete, class A signal path and high performance input and output transformers, the 5051 delivers the performance and musicality expected from a Rupert Neve Design. The new Stereo Module for the 5088 uses the same high-voltage, transformer-coupled topology found throughout the 5088, and allows both twice the density and considerable cost savings when compared to mono modules. The Stereo Module is outfitted with a single Penny & Giles 100mm fader, individual left/right pans, individual trims, six auxes and a stereo width control. When Aux to Groups on Aux 5/6 is activated, the stereo channel signal can be routed with an independent mix level to any of the console’s eight groups.
The 5051 module’s EQ design certainly invokes sonic similarities with some of Rupert's classic EQs. The 5051 uses a custom tapped inductor with selected capacitors to form the mid-range equalizer band. The shelf curves are based on Rupert's vintage modules, using very similar frequency choices as well. Each EQ section also uses low feedback, class A, discrete topologies to prevent low level artifacts and harshness from detracting from the tonal shaping. The EQ, however, is a modern design with advantages offered by techniques that were not possible 35 years ago along with improvements in electronic components currently available, and should not be considered a clone. Let's just say it has heritage.
Both the High and Low Bands can be switched from Shelf to Peak curves and offer 15 dB of boost or cut. The High can be switched from 8 kHz to 16 kHz and the Low Band selected at 35 Hz, 60 Hz, 100 Hz or 220 Hz. The inductor based Mid Band offers six center frequencies: 200 Hz, 350 Hz, 700 Hz, 1.5 kHz, 3 kHz and 6 kHz. The Mid Band also has a High Peak switch to narrow the bandwidth or increase the Q of the filter. The 5051 includes an 18 dB/octave High Pass Filter with two corner frequencies on an illuminated button that toggles through OFF, 60 Hz, and 120 Hz, indicated by a blue or red LED respectively.Additionally, the EQ can be switched Pre or Post the compressor. Normally the EQ precedes the compressor but the order can be selected so that the EQ follows after the Compressor. The 5051 also has two XLR balanced inputs that can be switched from the front panel. This allows the user, for example, to have a mic preamplifier and a line input from a DAW pre-patched and easily selectable.
The 5051 Compressor also features a discrete class A signal path proven in the Portico Series. The Threshold has a range of –30 dBu to +10 dBu. The Ratio can be set from 1.1:1 to 40:1. The Attack has a range of 5 mS to 75 mS and the Release allows from 100 mS to 2.5 S to be set. Final Gain can be set from –6 dB to +20 dB.
The Compressor allows the user to select either a modern Feed-Forward topology or the traditional Feed-Back style of compression. Each has advantages depending on the source and desired sound. A 250 Hz high pass filter can be switched into the compressor sidechain to reduce the chance that loud low frequency material inadvertently affects the gain reduction. A LINK switch and associated 1/4-inch phone jacks on the back panel allow two (or multiple) 5051s to be properly used for stereo where gain changes happen together. A pair of 1/4-inch phone jacks is also provided on the back for patching an equalizer into the sidechain for de-essing and finessing. The 5051 has two fast acting, accurate LED bargraph meters to indicate Gain Reduction and Output Level.
It should be pointed out that the 5051, at this time, is intended exclusively for the 5088 console. The 5051 uses a shared central power supply designed to feed up to 25 5051 modules. This both reduces heat buildup within the modules and reduces the costs associated with DC-DC converters in every module.

Chandler Limited Little Devil Pedal
"Hi All-
2011 will be a busy year for new Chandler Limited products. We have four new items in the works and will be releasing them in short order.The first first product will be a new direction for Chandler Limited. I have been a guitar player for 30 years and it is really what got me into music and recording. I have long been interested in making guitar pedals and pursuing sounds that I have wanted for guitar but have been unable to obtain with other gear. I have been experimenting with distortion and boost sounds for the last year and a half and feel that I have guitar pedals that will offer the Chandler sound and build to a new audience.
SO! I offer to you the Little Devil Boost pedals. It is a Class A circuit design that is hand wired and constructed like all Chandler products, and offers a large amount of high quality colored gain, selection of boost range, and three feedback settings. The Little Devil Boost is inspired by our upcoming Little Devil 500 pre amp. The intense sounding discrete amps and feedback settings are the heart of the units. As with the Germ Pre and Little Devil pres you can manufacture and enhance sounds easily and have a variety of sounds at your disposal. The three position feedback switch on each pedal is very much like having three different pedals and when combined with the boost range and gain allow for even more experimentation.
Best wishes,
Wade Goeke
Chandler Limited"

Neve 1073LBEQ Single channel 500 Series equalizer
The Neve 1073LBEQ provides a Neve 1073 EQ circuit in a single 500-series module. The 1073 is widely considered the world’s premier mic preamp & EQ module, delivering the unique Neve sound featured on some of the most famous recordings of the past 40 years.
The big, punchy sound of the classic Neve 1073 module complements any musical genre, from rock to rap, jazz to classical. Its lush sound with classic Neve signature makes it the consummate mic-pre/EQ module for recording vocals, guitars, and acoustic instruments of all descriptions. With the 1073LBEQ module, the highly sought-after classic EQ sound is now available in a 500-series form-factor.
Highlights
* Legendary 3-band EQ design
* When integrated with 1073LB preamp, the combination is 100% discrete and = genuine 1073 mic pre/EQ
* Rotary controls provide accurate adjustment of the 1073 3-band EQ and High Pass Filter
* Signal presence LED illuminates green from a level of -25dB and red from a level of +24dB
* Switch for EQ IN/OUT function, with LED indication
* Electronically balanced classic Neve circuits used in Line Input and Line Output stages for standalone module use. These stages are bypassed and the 1073LBEQ module is 100% discrete when combined with the 1073LB mic preamp
* Audio Processing Insert design allows the audio to/from the 1073LBEQ module to be inserted into the audio path of an existing 1073LB (modules must be fitted in the same rack)
* High frequency concentric knobs perform two functions: HF shelf control and High Pass Filter control
* Fully screened module packaged in Mu-metal case eliminates stray electromagnetic fields from Lunchbox PSU or other module types
The 1073LBEQ provides the legendary sound of Neve in a remarkably simple format. A Line level input feeds an electronically balanced EQ circuit with 3-bands of adjustable EQ and a High Pass filter, which can easily be switched in/out. The output is also an electronically balanced Line level output. A signal presence LED and Neve’s clever Audio Processing Insert design is also integrated into the module.
The 1073LBEQ can be modified to work as an inserted process with an existing 1073LB mic pre module. A modification is required inside both units and a cable, which is supplied with the 1073LBEQ module, is needed to connect the LB mic pre to the LB EQ. The result of this is a genuine 1073 mic/pre input -> EQ -> output audio path when in this mode. Revolutionary!
This mono unit is the perfect solution for studios and audio engineers looking to bring in the very essence of the Neve 1073 EQ sound to their portable racks.
Note: The Neve 1073LBEQ will not work with the A Designs 500HR 2 Slot rack or the Empirical Labs EL500 2 Slot 500 Series Rack.
Anamod 500 Series Two-Stage Transformer/Tube Analog Simulator AES 2010
From Anamod:
Vesatile modeled amplifier
· Two transformer stages - 2 models each
· Two tube stages stages - 4 models each
· All analog - no latency or conversion
· Single-space 500 series rack formatWhether tracking live or re-processing instruments, many people use a tube amplifier to shape the sound of a track. The AnaMod XF Tube provides a unique way to do this. The XF Tube is an analog model of an amplifier which consists of an input transformer, 2 tube stages, and an output transformer. Any of the stages may be bypassed and each stage has switchable parameters. The transformer stages allow for the selection of an iron or nickel core model while the tube stages provide models for both pentodes and triodes as well as configuring the stage as either push-pull or single-ended.
The XF Tube, while being model based, is a purely analog device. It was created using the AnaMod process to model the complex tube and transformer characteristics. Unlike a digital plug-in or processor- based outboard gear, there is no latency, and no A/D or D/A conversions to compromise the sound.
Specifications
Input Impedance: 20KΩ, balanced
Output Impedance: less than 50Ω
Max. Output Level: +21dBu, balanced
Transformer Models: Iron or Nickel
Tube Models: Pentode or Triode
Stage Configurations: Push-Pull or Single Ended
Drive Controls: One for each tube stage
Iron / Byp. / Nickel: Sets the transformer model or bypasses the stage entirely.
Single-Ended / Byp. / Push-Pull: Sets the stage configuration or bypasses the stage entirely.
ANAMOD WILL BE SHOWING THIS FANTASTIC PROUCT AT AES 2010!

ELBERG LM24C 24 channel mixer/summing amp/line preamp
PRESS RELEASE
Danish company ELT launches two new products: The ELBERG LM24C 24 channel mixer/summing amp/line preamp, and the ELBERG HM12 high output headphone mixer amp.
Negative gain enables full output from harddisk to be mixed
The master of the ELBERG LM24C includes a 'SUMMING GAIN' rotary switch (-30-0 dB in steps of 6 dB), which due to negative gain enables it to handle the high level which is created, when 24 tracks from a harddisk recorded at typically +10 til +15 dBu are summed. The commonly used procedure of attenuating the output level of the harddisk – resulting in degraded resolution – can thus be avoided.
New life to your headphone
The ELBERG HM12 is a high output headphone mixer featuring eight mono- and four stereo in- and output. The mono inputs offer pan control, and the stereo inputs a mono button. The master uncludes a switchable two band EQ. The master volume feeds the jack socket for a headphone. An external power supply delivers the voltage (+37 V) for the HM12.
The rear facilitates the two input- and two linked output sub-D connectors. This enables chosen mix channels to be fed to a chain of HM12s, so that each musician can create his or her individual monitor mix. Due to the high supply voltages, the HM12 can make a headphone deliver extremely high sound levels maintaining its transparent and well defined sound throughout. The outputs consist of selected and matched transistors and are short circuit safe.
