Seventeen 500 Key Features
Innovative input circuit
The Seventeen 500 stands out for its improved input circuit, based on an integrated circuit. This modern design delivers a clear, incisive sound when lightly compressed, while offering a colorful vintage character when pushed to the limit.
Custom Output Transformer
The Seventeen 500 incorporates a custom Black Lion output transformer that delivers deep, rich bass, subtly balanced by brilliant highs, offering a much wider tonal range than conventional compressors.
Exclusive Power Decoupling
Exclusive power supply decoupling guarantees extremely low background noise, delivering outstanding sonic performance even in the most demanding environments.
Sidechain and Wet/Dry Mixing
The Seventeen 500 features a frequency-adjustable sidechain, giving you total control over dynamics. The Wet/Dry button also enables parallel compression, an option not found on vintage compressors.
Stereo operation and "All-Buttons In" mode
The Seventeen 500 features a stereo link for convenient duo use. The "all-buttons in" mode provides explosive ambience or ultra-present vocals, ideal for creative applications.
Intuitive Ratio Activation
Activation of the various ratios is now more intuitive, simplifying their simultaneous use for optimum control, where conventional models were sometimes more complex to handle.
