The new PowerGrid Trio, a three-slot horizontal chassis for 500 Series modules. It features an external power supply and includes Ground Lift and Feed functions, allowing modules to be seamlessly linked.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003e501+ PREAMPLIFIER\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Quagliardi 501+ is a powerful 500 Series preamplifier delivering a clear and transparent response at low and medium gains while adding a distinctive and colorful character when pushed into saturation. Equipped with a permalloy transformer and the legendary 2520 operational amplifier. Additionally, it features a combo connector on the front panel, allowing you to connect an alternate low-impedance XLR or a high-impedance instrument in DI mode. The 501+ is designed with a modern sound in mind, emphasizing its exceptional transparency, allowing your recordings to truly shine. Pair your 501+ with a low-impedance vocal microphone to achieve a warm vocal presence with a rich harmonic content. In drum tracking, it will deliver remarkable precision, allowing natural transients to shine through with clarity. Connect a bass to the 501+ HI-Z input, and you'll capture with high definition both the low-end depth and the crisp highs of fresh strings.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003e576 FET COMPRESSOR\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Quagliardi 576 FET Compressor is a 500 Series module compatible with any chassis operating within the VPR Alliance standard. It is ideal for tracking audio channels and for use on the mix bus of a track, given its ability to link with another identical module, thereby connecting parameters that determine the amount of compression applied to the audio signal. As the name suggests, the 576 FET Compressor uses a BF245 FET-type transistor to control signal amplification. This compression is found in the legendary UREI 1176 compressors, which have left an indelible mark on the history of pro audio. In a landscape crowded with 1176 clones, Quagliardi aspired to innovate. The inherent FET topology ensures user-friendly controls, while this hybrid design introduces custom transformers, a 2520-like op-amp, parallel compression, and other exclusive features, resulting in a distinct and exceptional audio tool.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003e523 PARASHELVING EQ\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Quagliardi 523 combines parametric and shelving (ParaShelving) topologies in two fully controllable bands (gain, frequency, and bandwidth) in a single-slot 500 Series module. Each band can be seamlessly switched to shelving mode for quick tonal shaping. It also features True Bypass and the proprietary BLUE function — a harmonic coloration circuit designed to add punch and character to your signal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quagliardi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451343859815,"sku":"501308","price":2099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/quagliardi-powergrid-trio-channel-strip_501308_1.jpg?v=1787096874","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/quagliardi-channel-strip","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
