High-end studio processor manufacturer elysia has extended its line of 500 series modules with the release of the nvelope 500.

A two-space stereo dynamics processor, the German company reckons that the nvelope 500 ‚is capable of making subtle or drastic changes to a sound by altering its impulse structure, providing direct control over the envelope of a signal by shaping the intensity of its attack and sustain’.

The nvelope 500 is primarily intended to shape input signals, but it can be an used in mixing applications as well, as it can subtly move a sound in a mix through control of attack and sustain. A unique feature of the processor is the control offered in Dual Band mode. Individual frequency controls for attack and sustain yield precise results while avoiding unwanted artifacts, even when used on a summing bus.

‘The nvelope 500 can be used on many different instruments such as drums, percussion, bass, edgy guitar, acoustic piano and even on full mixes,’ says elysia co-founder, Dominik Klassen. ‘Generally speaking, the impulse shaping process works optimally on audio signals with a significant/percussive attack structure’.

The nvelope 500 offers true dual mono or linked stereo operation in Full Range, Dual Band or EQ mode. It is made in Germany exclusively using top quality components, gold-plated PCBs, a rugged 4mm aluminum front panel and solid aluminum knobs.

The processor is available immediately at US$1049 MSRP/€649 (exc VAT).
