Microprocessor TLGR Meter
The CP523V is equipped with Microprocessor True Level Gain Reduction Meter.
This is a unique approach to provide the user with an ultra-accurate gain reduction reading. In most of the Compressors, the gain reduction is measured using the indirect method with an additional LDR circuit or by measuring the Side-chain voltage.
The RVGR is based on a microcontroller that measures the actual level of the signal on the input of the CP523V and the signal level on the output of the compressor stage, in real-time.
Two signal values are compared and the value of the signal reduction is calculated over 400 times every second. The results are averaged and displayed using the Gain Reduction LED Meter.
The typical error of the meter is less than -0.5dB in -1dB to -8dB gain reduction range.

HRK Active Transformer
Bart Hrk developed the propitiatory design of an Active Transformer to solve the problems of the common passive transformers.
Passive transformers are susceptible to electromagnetic interferences (50Hz Hum, RF Smog) and the frequency response dependents on load and source impedance, negatively influencing the overall performance of analogue studio equipment.
The HRK Active Transformer delivers the sound that we love, including the harmonics content and the tonal response, and removes all the hassles associated with passive transformers.
The Active Transformer produces a subtle “Air” effect and provides extended LF performance.
The Active Transfomer saturation depends on the output level. Higher output signal levels will saturate the Active Transfomer more, like in the classic studio equipment.
The CP523V Gain Makeup Stage is made with a Pro-Audio Grade tube, which delivers superb specification matching and a much longer operating time compared to standard thermionic valves.
The CP523V is easy to use even for engineers with less experience with dynamic processors.
Optocompressors are very versatile and produce smooth compression results. Any music material will benefit from the magic touch added by the CP523V.
The side-chain controls are simple and powerful providing the necessary tools for many demanding studio applications.
The CP523V is suitable for recording as a part of the signal path.
It will control the dynamics of the signal from the microphone while enhancing the details and structure of the vocal or the instruments.
The CP523V can be used for tracking or mastering. Two units can be paired in stereo mode.
The Slow Attack mode and the side-chain High Pass Filter can be used very creative way in mastering applications.
Note:
Clips below show the old silver plate version of the CP523V. The balck front panel version has the same sonic performance.
