High-end Signal Coloration 

A discrete Class A 500 Series module (the karacter 500) in a sleek desktop chassis, the elysia karacter qube gives you a staggering range of sonic options, from mastering-grade saturation to tube-style distortion and merciless waveform annihilation. The karacter qube sports two channels you can use in dual mono, linked stereo, or even a mid/side configuration, making it a supremely versatile tool for any studio or live situation. Use a gentle touch with THD generation and season to taste, or unleash sonic mayhem with asymmetrical clipping. Parallel process with the integrated mix control to achieve the ideal amount of grit. Fine-tune harmonics with the Color Filter network. Tweak away — the elysia karacter qube’s stepped potentiometers let you recall your settings precisely.

Infuse your tracks with rich character

An ideal all-in-one solution, the karacter qube delivers a broad palette of colors, and they all sound lovely, no matter how mildly or aggressively you process. The karacter qube is designed and built in the company’s factory in Nettetal, Germany, using only top-shelf components, gold-plated PCBs, a robust 4mm aluminum front panel, and solid aluminum knobs. Bottom line, the elysia karacter qube will be infusing your tracks with rich character for many years to come.

Painting with sound

To expand on this concept of “painting with sound,” it’s instructive to consider the well-established relationship between music and the visual arts. When you’re recording music, you are (hopefully) forming a mental picture of your mix. With each overdub, each brushstroke of EQ, in essence, you’re painting with sound. Mid-century Dutch-American abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning famously wrote, “Miles Davis bends the notes . . . I bend the paint.” The elysia karacter qube is a tool for bending the sound. You’ll actually have to use it to fully understand the practical implications of what it can do. Trust us: you just have to hear it for yourself.
