The Sidechain High Pass Filter removes the low-frequency content from the processing greatly enhancing the capabilities of the CP523V for tracking and mastering.
The CP523V is very musical and easy to use. It can process any music material, instruments, vocal or recordings, delivering amazing results.
The Valve – Discrete Transistors Hybrid circuit is the result of a long development process. It produces rich Tube harmonics and tone while maintaining the noise on the extremely low level.
Create Amazing Results Easily!
The CP523V is easy to use even for engineers with less experience with dynamic processors.
Optocompressors are very versatile and produce smooth compression results. Any music material will benefit from the magic touch added by the CP523V.

Coupled with Custom HRK Transformers
The Output of the CP523V is coupled with specially designed custom HRK Transformers. Because of limited space in the 500 modules, HRK Custom Transformers became smaller, maintaining no-compromise performance.
All HRK transformers provide the sweet-spot sonic characteristic with pristine detail reproduction. The goal of the design process was to create the transformer which will deliver a balance between the transparency and colouration typical for transformers.
Discrete Transistor Class A Output Transformer Driver
The output transformer is powered by Class A, No-Feedback, DC-Coupled Discrete Driver.
