General Description
Following in the time-honored tradition of the Rane Cor-
poration Engineering department’s never-ending quest to make
the most out of the least, here is the revolutionary sonic enhance-
ment product, the Rane PI 14. Limitations of space and patience
preclude detailing all the limitless virtues of this acoustic stimu-
lator, however one must make due with the allotted time and size
and put down at least a rudimentary sketch of this marvelous
piece of gimmickry.
Over the years, the sciences of audio production and repro-
duction have evolved slowly. Too slowly for Rane engineering.
So, with a little clever application of some otherwise tawdry elec-
trical components, we bring you the PI 14. Not just an evolution,
no way. It’s a revolution.
Have you ever wanted to add just a bit of this or a tad of that
to your sound? Have you ever wondered what was available to
allow it? So have we. The PI 14 gives you the ability to add bits of
this and dashes of that, with continuously variable breadth and
depth. How much would you pay for this flexibility? But wait.
Before you answer that, there’s also the ability to pan from here
to there and if you lose your way, there’s a switch to get you back
again. And if you don’t care for the spectral distribution of the
difference between this and that, there is a special Rinkwitz Liley
4th grade crossover filter which may be used to control spectral
harmony.
The Sheen reduction processor included in the overwhelm-
ingly complex circuitry of the PI 14 reduces to a bare memory
the graininess and shimmer present in many modern record-
ings digitally processed without the assistance of an inverse PI
14 digital dither shield. Now how much would you pay? Yes
Martha, there’s more. More in the form of the rotary Ecstacy
presence control at the far right hand side of the PI 14’s control
panel. This knob can restore life to even the most nauseous
recordings of the past. Don’t dispose of those old bubble gum (or
bubble machine) recordings taking up space in your library. The
PI 14 adds just enough of this or that to these legendary vinyl
dinosaurs to make them worth the 9 styli you’ll wear out playing
just one of them. Now how much would you pay? Let us know.
