Owner’s Manual

Firstly, let us congratulate you on your purchase of the Pivot-TC/500
Tone control channel strip with equalizer designed for the API 500 series
Lunchbox or suitable compatible rack.
We know you will be as pleased with it’s sonic qualities as we are.

You are now the proud owner of a product that has the advantages of
more than 40 years experience in audio engineering, today’s component
and manufacturing technology, but still retaining “that sound” uniquely
achievable through Class A design.

As you can tell, Phoenix Audio is dedicated to the development of Class
A discrete technology used within high build-quality equipment.

The Pivot-TC/500 uses our well proven and loved Class A output stage
(DSOP2), but also has our latest breakthrough in transformer-less Class A,
Discrete Input Technology which gives a "valve-like" sound.

You CAN hear the difference!!!

Description:

The Tilt Eq concept was first developed in the 1970's by Quad Ltd, it first appeared
on the company’s model 34 preamplifier. The tilt control tilts the frequency content of
the audio signal by simultaneously boosting the treble and cutting the bass
frequencies, or vice versa, making it a simple to use but powerful EQ.

Phoenix Audio have re-imagined this and taken the original concept and extended it
to provide 3 unique selectable pivot points around which the audio can be tilted.
