DISC Radial Workhorse PhazeQ Phase Alignment Tool

Full Description

Features

• Dual-function 500 Series module designed for use as a phase alignment tool with the ability to behave like a very powerful EQ
• Create exciting new tones that set your recordings apart
• Designed to work with the Radial Workhorse 500 Series rack as well as other 500 Series racks
• 100 percent discrete Class-A electronics
• Warm, rich, organic tonal characteristics
• Single phase-shift adjustment control with a 180° polarity reverse for a full 360° of phase adjustment
• Switchable low-pass filter with two ranges
• Wet/Dry blend control takes a single source and splits the signal enabling you to combine the original sound with the phase-shifted signal
• New type of equalisation with powerful and radical capabilities
• Expand your creative palette through analogue phase experimentation
• Full-size through-hole 100 percent discrete electronics for optimal signal transfer
• All components are hand-selected and hand-mounted
• Road-proven Radial push switches with extra-durable metal outer casings, rated at over 20,000 cycles
• Incredibly robust double-layer steel front panel
• Dual potentiometers with double-up solder points for greater durability
• Potentiometers feature steel casings, steel shafts, and steel retention nuts
• Gold-plated 15-pin card edge with a double-sided design ensures a positive connection to the receptacle for improved mating
• Military-spec circuit board with double-sided design and a full ground plane that assures the lowest possible noise

Controls & Connectivity

• Blend: Used to control the mix between the original dry signal and the wet phased effect
• Phase Shift: Adjusts the analogue phase shift from 0° to 180° as you rotate the knob clockwise
• Invert: Reverses the polarity of the wet signal to extendthe phase shift from 180° to 360°
• Phaze On: Bypass with LED indicator lets you switch off the phase shift effect to compare sounds
• Filter: Lets you apply a low-pass filter on the phased signal to focus the effect on the bass frequencies
• Shift: Extends the filter range from 3kHz - 38kHz to 300Hz - 3.8kHz to better focus the effect of the filter
• Shift On: Bypass with LED indicator lets you switch off the filter to compare the effect it has on the signal path
• Omniport: Dry track output used to feed other devices. Available when used with the Workhorse
