Karacter 500 Series Color Box

Elysia Karacter 500

The Elysia Karacter 500 brings all the power of their renowned Karacter rack mount module to the 500 series format! Think of the Elysia Karacter as a vibrant box of powerful mastering tools that can be used in conventional and experimental ways. The device’s audio path is entirely class-A, delivering uncompromisingly powerful results with a slew of creative potential that pushes the box’s capabilities well beyond the boundaries of conventional mixing/mastering and into more experimental territory. Using Mastering-Grade Saturation, the Karacter achieves exemplary signal coloration while maintaining a distinctly high-end quality. Under this parameter, the Karacter produces Total Harmonic Distortion with a  soft characteristic slope for symmetrical clipping. There’s also an FET Shred mode that allows the unit to sound more like a tube amplifier, and a Color control that alters the harmonics-frequency relation.  This latter feature can be used when in stereo mode to great effect, as it enables the processing of mid and side bands.
