User manual ROLLS RP533

[. . . ] The RP533 is a powerful unit designed for all the signal preamplification and processing required before digital recording. Or, for live applications, the RP533 is ideal for enriching a vocal, fattening up a horn, or giving depth and presence to a piano or guitar. Any application requiring a warm, full-bodied sound can be realized with the RP533.

Gain: Adjusts the amount of gain in the tube microphone preamp section. Threshold: Sets the level at which the income signal must overcome in order for the RP533 Compressor to begin compressing. Ratio: The signal to compression ratio - sets the amount of increase in input signal required to raise the output signal 1 dB. Attack: Varies the amount of time taken for the RP533 to begin compressing once the Threshold level has been reached. Release: Varies the amount of time taken for the RP533 Compressor to return to normal gain once the signal has dropped below the Threshold level. Output Level: Varies the overall signal level from the RP533. Active Switch: When in, the signal is routed through the Compressor/Limiter section of the RP533. Active Switch: When in, the signal is routed through the Sonic Exciter section of the RP533. Bottom: Adjusts the amount of low frequency process is applied to the signal. Definition: Adjusts the amount of high frequency process is applied to the signal. Meter Switch: Switches the signal metering from indicating the output jack level (+4 db Ref. ), to indicating the amount of gain reduction of the compressor. VU Meter: Indicates either the output signal level, or the amount of gain reduction, depending on the position of the Meter Switch. REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION Outputs: XLR balanced and 1/4" unbalanced connectors for connecting the RP533 to a mixer or other line level input. Side Chain Input: 1/4" unbalanced jack for receiving incoming signals to directly access the detector circuit of the compressor section. Side Chain Output: 1/4" unbalanced jack for sending out the signal from the RP533 compressor section. This jack may also be used as a pre-Output Level output. Note: The Side Chain Input and Output is not an effects loop, it breaks the signal path of the RP533 compressor control circuits. Input: XLR balanced and 1/4" unbalanced connectors for connecting signals to the RP533. SERIAL NUMBER MODEL RP533 533MADE IN U. S. A.
