CAPI 553F

The 553F is basically a fairly faithful recreation of the vintage API 553. The 553 has always been know as a great sounding, limited featured equalizer.

From Jeff at CAPI  “I decided it would be nice to add a HP and LP filter array in the same fashion as the Missing Link. While each filter has only 3 selectable frequencies, I have retained the handy -6dB/-12dB per octave switch options. These filters are buffer by the simple 2 transistor discrete followers used in the original 550.”

The 553F includes these great features:

• Input and output transformers
• Inductor based circuitry
• 3 band EQ (HF, MF, LF)
• HF – Shelving at 10kHz
• MF – Wide peaking filter at 2.5kHz
• LF – Shelving at 100Hz
• 3 poll LPF with a -6/-12dB shelf switch (12kHz, 22kHz, 28kHz)
• 3 poll LPF with a -6/-12dB shelf switch (30Hz, 70Hz, 110Hz)
• Circuitry bypass switch
