Each channel has a dedicated line output, allowing for the 5017 to be used in a multitude of ways. From having full control over a vocal mic + an acoustic guitar to capturing a guitar\/bass DI and mic’d amplifier simultaneously, the 5017 gives the power to the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd an optical compressor and our Silk harmonics circuit to the equation and the versatility of the 5017 is undeniable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe BLEND \u0026amp; VARI-PHASE Controls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps the most powerful features on the 5017 are the ‘BLEND’ and ‘VARI-PHASE’ controls. These controls work in tandem to dial in the ideal blend of a DI and Mic of the same source. Adjusting the ‘VARI-PHASE’ control once both preamps are set ensure no strange phase cancellation is working against you while blending 2 versions of the same source together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese controls can also be used to create a quick mix of a vocal and guitar without a mixing console, which is handy in either a live performance or live recording situation. And since the Mic Input also accepts line level sources, these features can be used to ‘re-amp’ sources that have already been recorded with the stellar instrument input. So many possibilities in such a compact box!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTWO CHANNEL OPERATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith two transformer coupled outputs, the 5017 has separate line outputs for the DI\/Blend and Mic signals when the blend control is set to fully DI.

Signals below 80Hz can be attenuated at a rate of 12db \/ octave, getting rid of building rumble, motor hum, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOLARITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePush button inverts the polarity of the mic input signal path.

This control is most apparent when the signals being combined are at roughly equal levels, and is generally used when blending an instrument’s direct signal with its amplified signal, as captured by a microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE COMPRESSOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased around a new LDR (light dependent resister) design, the 5017’s opto-coupler compressor has been simplified to a single threshold control with auto make up gain. By default, the compressor is set to a fixed 2:1 ratio with fixed attack and release. To set the compressor, simply dial the threshold control down until the desired amount of compression is achieved. An LED light indicates when the compressor is active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINDICATORS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndicators on the 5017 denote signal presence and clipping on both DI and mic signals, as well as compressor activation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTERNAL JUMPERS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo internal jumpers in the 5017 can be set to change the compressor from the mic channel to the DI \/ blend channel, and to change the compressor time constant from standard to fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFREQUENCY RESPONSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Output, no load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-0.2 dB @ 10 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-3 dB @ 160 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOISE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasured at Main Output, unweighted, 22 Hz - 22 kHz.
