The Symetrix 528E is a single-channel Voice Processor intended for use in voice-over studios, broadcast studios, sound-reinforcement, music and speech recording, and post-production. Simply stated, the 528E consists of a high-quality microphone preamp coupled to a threeband parametric equalizer, a de-esser, and a dynamic range processor. It is everything you would have at your disposal in a world-class mixing console. The 528E accepts both mic and line inputs. Of course, while we use the term “Voice Processor” for the 528E, it is perfectly at home with any signal, vocal or not.   From the manual: Inputs Controls and Switches Mic Gain, Phantom Power, Mic/Line Mic and Line Input Connectors XLR-female (2) Clip LED Lights at +17 dBu output level from mic preamp or line input amplifier Microphone Input Type Balanced Transformerless, Low Impedance Phantom Power (DIN 45 596) +48V, nominal Microphone Preamp Gain 22 to 60 dB (pad out) 7 to 45 dB (pad in) Microphone Input Maximum Input Level -3 dBu (pad out) Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) -126 dBV (150-0 Ohm source, 20 Hz to 20 kHz) THD + Noise (Preamp only) 0.05% (2 kHz, 50 dB gain, +17 dBu output) Mic Preamp CMRR> 60 dB (40 dB gain, 20 Hz to 20 kHz) Line Input Type and Impedance 10k Ohm Transformerless Balanced Bridging Line Input Maximum Input Level +24 dBu Line Input Nominal Input Level +4 dBu Line Input CMRR> 50 dB (0 dBu, 20 Hz to 20 kHz) Parametric Equalizer Type Three-band Parametric Equalizer Bands Low: 16 to 500 Hz, Mid: 160 to 6300 Hz High: 680 Hz to 22 kHz Peak/Dip Bandwidth 0.3 to 4 octaves, measured at maximum boost Maximum Boost/Cut +/- 15 dB Metering Type Multi-segment LED bar graph Output Level -20 to +3 VU (0 VU = +4 dBu), VU calibrated, peak responding Gain Reduction Separate displays for: de-esser, downward expander, and compressor 0 to 20 dB per display Data Frequency Response 20 Hz to 20 kHz (+0, -0.5 dB), EQ cut, compressor out, downward expander out, de-esser out THD + Noise 0.05%, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, +4 dBm output Noise Floor Better than -89 dBu, 20 Hz to 20 kHz Dynamic Range Processor Type Interactive Comp/Limiter-Downward Expander Comp/Limiter Ratio 1:1 to 10:1 Downward Expansion Ratio (max) 1:1.8 De-esser Type Program controlled high-cut filter, 12 dB/octave Frequency Range 800 Hz to 8000 Hz Threshold -30 to 0 dBu Output Section Type Balanced, Transformerless Maximum Output Level +24 dBm Balanced, +18 dBm Unbalanced Connector XLR-male Output Clip LED Lights 3 dB below clipping Output Source Impedance 200 Ohms, Balanced Minimum Load Impedance 600 Ohms Balanced or Unbalanced Voice Symmetry Switch Improves modulation symmetry of speech signals Output Gain +/- 15 dB Physical Size (hwd) 1.72 x 19 x 7.25 inches, 4.37 x 48.26 x 18.415 centimeters Weight 7.6 lbs (3.5 kg) net, 10 lbs (4.6 kg) shipping Electrical Power Requirements 115 VAC nominal, 105 to 125 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, 15 watts maximum 230 VAC nominal, 205 to 253 VAC, 50 Hz 15 watts maximumWhat's NOT Included: Any other accessories
