Introduction 

   

MBC502  is  a  500  series  module  that  occupies  2  slots  in  your  500  series  rack.  It  is  a  dual  band 
optical compressor with a Linkwitz-Riley 4

th

 order (24dB/octave) crossover.  

Each  channel  –  low  frequency  and  high  frequency  offer  control  over  level,  compression  amount, 
attack and release times. Switches allow you to mute one channel so that the other can act as a 
filter,  with  the  filters  centre  frequency  determined  by  the  frequency  selector  knob.  The  VU  meter 
displays  the  master  output  level,  while  gain  reduction  is  shown  on  the  LED  meters.  Last  but  not 
least: The MBC502 audio circuit uses LME49720 ultra-low distortion/low noise Op Amps, for clear, 
defined audio input and output quality.
