Electrodyne 2511 two-band inductor eq:

Electrodyne 2511 two-band inductor EQ: 
The Electrodyne 2511 is a classic two-band discrete transistor reciprocal active inductor equalizer using 1969 / 1970 design technology. The custom inductors and output transformer are made by Electrodyne’s original maker, to strict factory manufacturing tolerances as small as 2%. This allows consistent eq performance and repeatability from channel to channel that was not possible in the 60,s. Smooth performance and eq response from minimum to maximum gain at all frequencies, provides unusually broad sonic and tonal options not experienced since the 1970,s. 
Input: Active balanced discrete transistor impedance converter. 
Output impedance: 150 ohms 
+/-12 db gain range: Equalize or Attenuate 
4 frequencies selectable per band. LF: 40, 100, 250, 500hz. HF: 1.5k, 3k, 5k, 10k. 
Peak/Shelf function on each band. Shelving at all frequencies, Peaking at 250, 500, 1.5k, 3k and 5k. 
Distortion: 0.03%typical. 
Maximum output: +30db at less than 0.8%thd. (+29.5db at 0.06%thd) 
Frequency response: +/- 0.25db, 10hz to 70khz typical. 
Signal to noise: -85db typ.

Electrodyne 2501 discrete two stage studio preamp:

The Electrodyne 2501 is a two stage discrete transistor, transformer coupled preamp with active DI, using classic 1969 / 1970 design technology. Each amp stage is individually optimized for peak performance using Electrodyne factory engineering notes and selected high performance components identical to the originals. The transformers are made by Electrodyne’s original manufacturer to exacting factory specifications. The active DI circuit presents an almost immeasurable load to sensitive musical instrument outputs allowing incredibly accurate capture of the instruments true tone. The output of the DI circuit is designed to directly connect and interact with the mic input transformer to allow maximum tone options. 
Maximum Gain: 68db. Adjustable over 50db in 2db steps with two ranges using 20db pad. 
Output level control: Infinitely adjustable from 0 (off) to +6db over unity. 
Input impedance: Microphone, 50 / 200 ohms selectable. DI, over 7 megohms. 
Output impedance: 150 ohms 
Distortion: 0.02%typical over entire gain range. 
Maximum output: +30db at less than 0.8%thd. (+29.5db at 0.06%thd) 
Frequency response: +/- 0.25db, 10hz to 60khz. 
Signal to noise: -80db typ, -60db at absolute maximum gain. 
Clip indicator: Monitors all three amp stages and illuminates when any stage is 3db from clip.

ELECTRODYNE AUDIO - Summing Station

Controls and Connectors

FRONT PANEL:

SUMMING SECTION:

1)  MONO 1-2, MONO 3-4 buttons: Changes stereo pairs 1-2 and 3-4 to two mono channels each.  This allows two or four mono sources 
      (eq: Kick, Snare, Lead Vocal, Bass, etc…) Avoids using up a stereo pair for mono tracks.

2)  MIX level knob: 31-step detented Master Stereo bus level for accurate recall. “0” setting is unity gain.  +6db of gain above unity is available for boosting mix levels. 

3)  INSERT button: Engages a fully balanced Stereo bus insert for mix mastering and stereo processing gear.

4) BUS trimpots: Allows trimming +1.5db/-3db for exact stereo bus levels to your stereo master recorder (DAW, Stereo tape machine, etc...)

5.) -TRANSFORMER button:Changes mix bus tones by switching mix amps and output transformers to two different configurations. 
     “WARM”, classic 1970’s full transformer harmonics. 
     “TIGHT”, smooth and silky with controlled harmonics.

CUE / TALKBACK SECTION:

6)  TALKBACK button: Mutes incoming CUE or CR LISTEN audio and sends Talkback Mic to CUE bus outputs.

7)  TALKBACK level knob: Adjusts level of Talkback microphone to CUE bus outputs.

8) Talkback Mic.

9)   CR LISTEN button: Switches CUE output from CUE input, to audio selected on CONTROL ROOM source selector buttons.

10)  CR LISTEN level knob: Adjusts level of audio from CONTROL ROOM source selector to CUE outputs, when CR LISTEN is engaged.

CONTROL ROOM SECTION:

11)  EXT-1 button: Selects Control Room input from 1/8” front panel jack. For SmartPhone, MP3 player and other portable audio devices.

12)  EXT-1 front 1/8" jack: For personal/mobile electronics (Smartphone, MP3 player, etc..) Standard 1/8” stereo  audio input jack, over-rides rear 1/4”
         TRS jack when plugged in.  (-6db nominal level)

13)  EXT-2 button: Selects Control Room input from rear panel balanced XLR connectors.

14)  CUE button: Selects Control Room input from CUE input xlr's.

15)  MIX button: Selects Control Room input from Summing section Stereo mix bus.

16)  CONTROL ROOM knob: Controls level of studio monitor speakers.

17)  MONO button: Folds stereo signal to mono (for phase checking, mono compatibility, etc..)

18)  DIM button: Reduces CONTROL ROOM level by approximately 20db.

19)  MUTE button: Mutes studio monitors.

20)  MONITORS button: Selects MAIN or ALT monitor speaker sets.

21)  ALT trimpots: Adjusts level of ALT speakers for matching MAIN speaker levels.
        Factory default setting is no attenuation (equal to MAIN).  Adjustments should be made by setting level controls on your ALT speakers louder than
         Main, and turning down ALT trimpots to match MAIN speaker levels.

22)  HEADPHONE level knob: Adjusts level of HEADPHONE amplifier. (NOTE: Headphone amp can be set Pre or Post Control Room level. (see internal
         jumper settings).

23)  HEADPHONE jack: 1/4” TRS jack for professional headphones.
    WARNING !!!  HEADPHONE AMP HAS SIMILAR POWER TO PROFESSIONAL STUDIO CUE    SYSTEMS AND CAN GENERATE EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS !

PLEASE PROTECT YOUR HEARING.

Performance Specs

Summing Station

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE NOTES:
1.) Output levels listed at positive “Full Scale” values (eg: +6fs) are shown only to illustrate Summing Station extended headroom, and capability of
     exceeding input levels of standard digital converters, not for typical operating levels.
    Operating the Summing Station within normal studio levels will provide superior performance and sound.

2.) Refer to pinouts page for input / output connector types, connector pinouts and accessory wiring notes.

3.) Summing Section thd/frequency response graph shows separate response curves for swept sine wave, with “TRANSFORMER” in WARM and TIGHT
     settings.
    Summing Section harmonic response will vary depending on average levels, dynamic range, frequency balance and harmonic content of original
     material, and “TRANSFORMER” setting on SUM section.

4.) Low frequency rise in Summing Section graph shows accumulation of flat response level from test signals plus natural harmonic contributions from 
     Summing Station discrete transistor summing opamps, mix bus opamps and output transformers.
