SPL CHARISMA 2 TUBE PROCESSOR . Condition is Used. Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class.
SPL CHARISMA 2
The Charisma 2 is a tube processor whose
sophisticated circuitry enables extensive con-
trol over the tube sound characteristics.
In other words, it is a tube sound instru-
ment that doesnt produce just the usual tube
sound, but is also capable of effects that
resemble the tape saturation of analog tape
machines: the signals gain more impact and
punch, so that especially in the case of per-
cussive instruments it is no longer necessary
to record to an analog machine. At the same
time level peaks can be captured by optimally
exploiting the headroom of digital recorders
resulting in a significant gain in loudness at
the same electrical level. The sound image
becomes more transparent, and a mix pre-
pared using the Charisma 2 has improved per-
ception of depth.
Voices can also be very effectively proc-
essed, to make them rougher and earthier for
example. In a dense mix the voices gain pen-
etration and presence.
Dance/Techno producers find the Charisma
a practical tool for distorting snare, bass drum
or lead sounds, MIDI guitar parts finally sound
reasonable, and truly impressive sounds can
be created using virtually any synthesizer.
Its that easy
The operational design of the Charisma is
simple in its concept: each of the two channels
has three potentiometers for controlling the
drive, tube sound variation and the output
level.
The Charisma 2 is used ideally while record-
ing from the recorder recording the optimised
signal saves rework and takes full advantage of
the digital headroom.

Of all the studio tube
processors I am familiar
with, the transitions from
clean through saturation
and smoky to roughened
characteristics like crunch
and overdrive are here by
far the easiest and most
logical to control.
Ralf Kleinermanns,
Keyboards (D)
The wide range of process-
ing effects, extending from
clearly audible tube distor-
tions, coupled with tube-
type hard or soft knee
compression, also turns the
Charisma into an outstand-
ing multi-distorter in mix-
down, and this application
makes it as interesting for
applications in analog
recording systems as for
pure keyboard setups.
Walter Wehrhan,
Production Partner (DE)
A warning from the Ministry
of Audio: Charisma is addic-
tive! Signals process with
Charisma get more pres-
ence, more punch, the sound
image of a mix becomes
more transparent; each
instrument can be clearly
placed.
