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\u003eBLEND\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 517 can be used to combine and compress the Mic input and the Instrument input. For example, the Instrument input could be used for an acoustic guitar’s pickup output while the Mic input is being used for either a guitar amp speaker or a vocal. The blend knob can then control the tonal balance between the two sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSILK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIlluminated push-button that engages the Silk circuit, which enhances the source’s harmonic content by utilizing the custom Rupert Neve Designs output transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARI-PHASE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VARI-PHASE control rotates the phase incrementally, allowing two signals with the same source to be phase aligned. 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\u003eINSTRUMENT GAIN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront panel TRS Input and passive through for hi-z sources.
