EBS MAGNI 500 – FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
Character filter ON
1. INPUT
-A low noise, high impedance
instrument input that will interface with
passive and active instruments perfectly.
2. CHARACTER FILTER
-The EBS Magni 500
provides a preshape filter, Character, which
operate independently from the other
preamp functions. This gives the user the
opportunity to preshape the sound before
the final processing with the other features
of the preamp. When on, boost is achieved
in bass and treble ranges respectively, while
the midrange has a slight drop in gain.
3. GAIN
-Control to adjust the instruments’
signal strength to the right operating level
in the EBS Magni 500. For optimum basic
signal level, turn up the GAIN knob until the
PEAK led starts flashing from the strongest
signal from the instrument.
Note: A correctly set GAIN is vital for the signal
processing to work properly in the EBS Magni 500.
4. COMP/LIMIT
-A low noise compressor
limiter that works fast and effectively,
tightening up the sound and preventing
the bass head from saturating at peaks
when approaching the headroom limit. A
string may be plucked very hard and fast,
without any greater difference in level or
side effects. The COMP/LIMIT knob sets the
compression ratio, i.e. The signal strength
relation between the input and output; the
higher ratio the more compression. The LED
intensity dynamically indicates the amount
of compression during play.
5. FILTER ACTIVE
– This switch actives the filter
section described under point 6.
