At Music Machine, we know that each has its place in a well-rounded studio. Compared with a tube preamp, the PreSonus RC 500&#8217;s solid-state preamp gives you better definition at the low and high extremes of its frequency response range. The lows are tighter, and the highs crisper, giving you a transparent-sounding, eminently <em>musical<\/em> signal with plenty of &#8220;air.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Refined, musical equalization<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The PreSonus RC 500&#8217;s 3-band semi-parametric EQ was specifically designed to match the preamp and compressor. Sporting isolated filters and optimized, per-band Q, this equalizer lets you shape your signal subtly and without undesirable artifacts. This EQ even comes with a pedigree: it uses the same circuitry as the semi-parametric EQ in the ADL 700, which has garnered rave reviews.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Great-sounding FET compressor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With fully variable attack, release, and threshold controls (as well as hard bypass), the PreSonus RC 500&#8217;s FET compressor gives you tons of flexibility without letting you get into too much trouble. What we mean is that it&#8217;s hard to make this thing sound bad. Again, the compressor design is the one found in the coveted ADL 700 &#8211; so it&#8217;s already a winner, right from the get-go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PreSonus RC 500 Channel Strip Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transformer-coupled, high gain microphone preamp with a Class A hybrid design<\/li>\n<li>FET-based soft-knee compressor using hybrid detection methods with switching relays for hard bypass<\/li>\n<li>3-band semi-parametric equalizer with switching relays for hard bypass<\/li>\n<li>48V phantom power, 80Hz highpass filter, and -20dB pad<\/li>\n<li>Front-panel instrument and rear-panel microphone and line inputs with Input Select switch<\/li>\n<li>VU meter with selectable output level\/gain reduction display<\/li>\n<li>Analog insert with balanced send and return<\/li>\n<li>High-grade components: film capacitors, 1% tolerance resistors, and very low-distortion op amps<\/li>\n<li>Master output control<\/li>\n<li>Balanced output on XLR and 1\/4&#8243; TRS connectors<\/li>\n<li>Internal toroidal power supply with IEC connector<\/li>\n<li>Rugged steel chassis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"h4black\">Equip your rack with the amazing PreSonus RC 500!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h2>PRESONUS RC500 CHANNEL STRIP &amp; MICROPHONE PREAMP &#8211; Check out This Affordable, High-performance Channel Strip<\/h2>\n<p>PreSonus Channel Strip (One-channel, Solid-state) with Mic Preamplifier, FET Compressor, and 3-band Semi-parametric EQ<\/p>\n<p>The PreSonus RC 500 channel strip gives you the custom-designed FET compressor and semi-parametric EQ developed for the acclaimed ADL 700 tube channel strip, along with a new solid-state high-gain Class A preamp that delivers amazingly transparent, detailed audio with vanishingly low distortion.
