Featuring a redesigned and improved IC-based front end, Seventeen 500 renders incredible detail and nuance normally not possible with a ‘76-style comp—while adding some features unavailable on original ‘76s.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat makes Seventeen 500 different?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst, Seventeen 500 features a new IC-based front-end circuit not found in classic ‘76 compressors. It provides a clean, punchy, modern sound under light compression and a more colorful vintage character when pushed. That front-end, when coupled with our custom-designed, Black Lion output transformer, is why Seventeen delivers a huge bottom end that balances out its open top end very nicely. All told, Seventeen 500 is capable of delivering a broader tonal palette than original ‘76s.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeventeen 500 features BLA’s proprietary Black Lion-style power decoupling for an incredibly low noise floor. It also uses high-grade Nichicon signal capacitors, widely considered some of the highest quality caps available, reducing the noise floor even further.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBlack Lion could have stopped there… but why? Other features and upgrades include: a frequency-adjustable sidechain and a wet\/dry mix knob parallel compression straight out of the box. Beyond offering a palette of tones not available to anything else on the market, Seventeen 500 also includes the all-important stereo link function.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLast but not least—yes, it does “all-buttons-in” mode, and we’ve made it much easier to engage multiple ratio controls simultaneously than on classic models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e500-series version of Black Lion Audio’s take on the classic ’76 FET compressor\/limiter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImproved and redesigned IC-based front end delivers:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClean, punchy, modern sound under light compression\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eColorful vintage character when pushed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProprietary power decoupling for an impressively low noise floor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmploys high-grade Nichicon signal capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrequency-adjustable sidechain high-pass filter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWet\/Dry mix knob allows for parallel compression not available on vintage rackmount units\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStereo-linkable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Grandestero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43321227542737,"sku":"NBLI031","price":399.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/9931\/8737\/files\/e845b116-29ea-4198-8131-be61e4667ef7.jpg?v=1789935677","url":"https:\/\/grandestereo.shop\/products\/black-lion-audio-seventeen-500-500-series-fet-limiting-amplifier","provider":"La Grande Stereo \u0026 Music Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
