Black Lion Audio Seventeen 500 FET Compressor

Description: The King of the FET Compressor Jungle The Black Lion Audio Seventeen 500 is the company’s version of the classic ’76 limiting amplifier. More specifically, it’s BLA’s idea of what the ’76 could have been had it been created with the technology of today and in a 500 Series package. The Seventeen 500 FET Limiting Amplifier features an improved and redesigned IC-based front end, which is combined with BLA’s custom-designed output transformer. This combination results in a clean and modern sound when the Seventeen 500 is lightly compressed, a harmonically rich vintage character when more heavily driven, and a ton of low end that perfectly complements its open high end. The Seventeen 500 also features Black Lion Audio’s proprietary power decoupling for an incredibly low noise floor, and its high-grade Nichicon signal capacitors are considered among the best quality capacitors currently available. Overall, Sweetwater studio engineers are greatly impressed by Sweetwater is an Authorized Black Lion Audio Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty Black Lion Audio Seventeen 500 FET Compressor 500 Series FET Limiting Amplifier with Custom Output Transformer, Sidechain HPF, Selectable Highpass and Lowpass Filters, and Dry/Wet Mix The King of the FET Compressor Jungle The Black Lion Audio Seventeen 500 is the company’s version of the classic ’76 limiting amplifier.

Overall, Sweetwater studio engineers are greatly impressed by the Seventeen 500’s level of detail, character, and versatility.Amazing versatility and value Black Lion Audio first gained notoriety by offering custom mods to classic studio gear, so thinking outside the box is par for the course. That’s why many of the Seventeen 500’s standard features would be considered “hot-rodded” if found on other hardware compressors. These features include a frequency-adjustable sidechain, separate selectable HPF/LPF, and a dry/wet mix knob for onboard New York/parallel compression. Seventeen 500 also includes stereo link functionality for linking two units together. Just like its inspirational ancestor, the BLA Seventeen 500 FET Limiting Amplifier is sure to find its way onto many drum, bass, and vocal tracks … and beyond. Sweetwater tip: Unlike the original, the Black Lion Audio Seventeen 500 yields faster attack times when turned to the left, and slower attack times when turned to the right.
