Instant mojo and mid-century vibe to any track

 

Introducing the MAP CL-20 Compressor/ Limiter, AudioScape's recreation of the original Melcor® CL-20 FET unit released in the late 1960’s. The CL-20, along with Melcor’s® GME-20 EQ, could often be found installed in RCA’s custom built consoles from the late 60’s/ early 70’s. A big part of the CL-20’s distinctive box tone is the 1731® discrete op-amps used. Originally designed by Melcor®, the 1731® preceded another famous Farmingdale, Long Island audio-maker’s well-known discrete op amp. AudioScape now make these lovely 1731® op amps at their factory in Florida, and the CL-20 utilizes no less than three of these discrete beauties in its circuit topology. The MAP CL-20 has been adapted to a 500 Series format.

Produktbeskrivning

The CL-20 appears deceptively simple at first blush, there’s only two controls, one for setting threshold and the other for setting make-up gain, and a meter monitoring gain reduction, but there’s quite a lot going on. The amount and the ballistics of the compression are set by the threshold level. Changes in the threshold level automatically adjust the attack and release times, simultaneously. The higher the threshold, the more subtle the compression. At lower threshold settings, the CL-20 is quite aggressive, like an 1176. Fast attack and fast release times. When adjusted to higher settings (past the 12 o’clock point), release times will slow down, however, for a much smoother, more transparent compression.

The CL-20 , like all the MAP 1731-based products, will add instant mojo and mid-century vibe to any track it’s applied to.

AudioScape is manufacturing MAP products again, bringing that classic mid-century vibe to the new millennium. In the early 70’s, MAP had descended from Melcor® Industries. When Melcor® abandoned the audio business for calculators around 1970, a group of their engineers carried on as Modular Audio Products, with the 1731® op amp at the heart of a range of products. Of course, these early discrete op amp beauties are highly sought after today. The CL-20 Compressor/Limiter joins the D.AM-27 Dual Mic Preamp in AudioScape's MAP lineup.

Varningar och säkerhetsinformation

  • Vatten och fukt - Använd inte enheten i närheten av vattenkällor eller i extremt fuktiga miljöer.
  • Föremål och vätska - Var försiktig så att föremål inte faller direkt på 500-seriens modul, och att vätskor inte spills in i höljet genom dess öppningar.
  • Ventilation - Se till att det finns tillräcklig ventilation när enheten installeras i ett rack eller på någon annan plats. Felaktig ventilation orsakar överhettning och kan skada enheten.
  • Värme - Enheten bör placeras på avstånd från värmekällor eller annan utrustning som producerar värme.
  • Strömkällor - 500-seriens modul fungerar med alla godkända 500-seriens chassin av standardmodell. Vi rekommenderar dock att du köper ett av hög kvalitet med tillräcklig effekt för att driva alla dina enheter (500 mA stabil ±16 volts ström).
  • Skydd av strömkabel - Se alltid till att 500-seriens modul sitter ordentligt i chassits kontakt innan du skruvar fast den på frontpanelen.
  • Perioder utan användning - Enhetens strömkabel ska kopplas bort från ditt 500-seriens chassi om den inte ska användas under en längre tid.
  • Skador som kräver service - Kontakta en kvalificerad tekniker.
