The RP583 is a clean, delightfully warm sounding
compressor/limiter designed for a variety of uses. It
can lightly compress a vocal track, or an overall
program mix, or it can act as a ceiling for the audio
allowing only a designated level of signal pass. All
this is accomplished via optical isolated gain reduction
and tube circuits to maintain a pristine fullbodied
sound. The RP583 has all the necessary
features like analog metering, variable threshold,
ratio, attack and release times, and a stereo link
switch which combines the channels and makes
Channel Two the master.
Why a Tube Compressor/limiter?
With the recent explosion of the digital recording
world, tube based preamps and signal processors
have become popular to overcome the inherent harshness and brittle sound created by the recording medium. Tube based compressors have the added benefit of a natural, even harmonic compression which adds a smooth and warm characteristic to the sound. The Bellari RP583 provides all the compression parameters necessary for complete control over the dynamic process, and it does it all with new and innovative tube circuit technology.
