SPL Vitalizer Mk3-T

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 fundament.

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.

Drive controls the level going into the filter network. The level can be changed between -20 dB and +6 dB. In the centre position (0 dB) the level is identical to the input level.

The Bass Sound control can be used to adjust between two bass sound colours.

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 Mid-Hi Tune control is used to set the starting frequency of a broad-band shelving filter. In line with the setting of Process control, all frequencies above this value right through to the end of the audio range are processed.

The control range is between 1.1 kHz (hard right) and 22 kHz (hard left).

One of the Sovtek 12AX7 double triode tubes is used within the Mid-Hi Tune filter and gives the mid frequencies even more accurate transparency with a soft and silky sound pattern.
