Vitalizer Mk3-T
Patented. Legendary. Spectacular.
The patented Vitalizer circuitry makes the Vitalizer Mk3-T an unsurpassed sound designer.
Whether live or in the studio, audio productions sound more alive, have more details, more
transparency, a higher perceived loudness and, if required, an overwhelming bass foundation.
The Vitalizer Mk3-T not only swaps the classic, golden robe of the previous model for the new, black design of the SPL Studio Series – the higher internal audio voltage of +/-18 V elevates this third generation SPL classic to greater sonic results and impresses with an even better and more detailed sound experience.
Vitalizing
The five controls of the core of the Vitalizer
Drive
Drive controls the level going into the filter network. The level can be changed between -20 dB and +6 dB. In the center position (0 dB) the level is identical to the input level
OVL
The OVL LED indicates a potential overload of the input stages as well as internal overloads. The OVL LED lights up 3 dB before an overload. This ensures that the Vitalizer always delivers the perfect sound.
Bass Sound
The Bass Sound control can be used to adjust between two bass sound colors.
Soft:
Moving the Bass Sound control from the center position (0) to the left makes bass sounds soft and warm, referred to as Soft.
Tight:
If the Bass Sound control is moved from the center position (0) to the right, this makes bass sounds dry and percussive, referred to as Tight.
The scale dots on the right symbolize this contoured, tight bass sound and are therefore displayed in squares.
Bass Comp
The Stereo Vitalizer Mk3-T features an easy-to-use and effective
“one-knob” compressor that is integrated solely into the bass
processing path, leaving the original bass content untouched. Attack, Release and Threshold are pre-set. Increasing the Bass Comp value on the one hand increases the compression ratio (Ratio) and at the same time lowers the threshold value (Threshold). The compressor works with a soft knee control characteristic to sound as unobtrusive as possible.
By integrating it into the bass path, the high end remain lively and airy even at strong compression rates!
The Gain Reduction LED “GR” indicates that the compressor is operating.
