Enhanced Harmonic Overtones
The Cassiopeia module operates vacuum tubes beyond their typical parameters, creating rich harmonic overtones through soft clipping, offering a warm, analogue-like texture to audio signals.
KEY FEATURES
The Klanghabitat Cassiopeia is a stereo vacuum tube saturation module designed to enhance audio signals in the API 500 format, offering a unique approach to signal saturation through the use of vacuum tubes operating beyond their original specifications.
Vacuum Tube Saturation Beyond Specifications
The Cassiopeia module leverages the inherent qualities of vacuum tubes by operating them in saturation. In this state, the tubes exceed their typical operating parameters, leading to the generation of rich harmonic overtones. This effect is achieved via the SATURATION potentiometer, which adjusts the level of incoming signal processed by the vacuum tubes. As the SATURATION control is increased, the tubes are pushed further outside their ideal specifications, inducing a characteristic soft clipping that results in a more musical distortion, providing a warm, analogue-like texture to the sound.
Intense Blending with the INTENSITY Control
The INTENSITY control allows users to blend the saturated signal with the original unprocessed signal, offering precise control over the amount of saturation applied to the output. This feature proves especially useful when the SATURATION control is set to higher levels, where only a subtle amount of the saturated signal is desired in the mix. By adjusting the INTENSITY, users can fine-tune the balance between the original and processed signals, ensuring that the saturation enhances rather than dominates the overall sound.
Output Level Control for Optimal Signal Matching
The final adjustment in the Cassiopeia module is the OUTPUT control. This control enables users to set the appropriate output level for the subsequent device in the signal chain, ensuring compatibility with different audio gear and maintaining signal integrity. By precisely adjusting the output level, users can maintain a consistent and optimal signal level, preventing distortion or clipping in the following stages of the signal path.

KEY BENEFITS
Precise Saturation Blending
With the INTENSITY control, users can blend the saturated and original signals to achieve the desired level of saturation, ensuring that the enhanced sound complements rather than overpowers the original audio.
Optimal Output Level Matching
The OUTPUT control allows for precise adjustment of the module's output level, ensuring compatibility with various audio devices and maintaining the integrity and quality of the signal throughout the audio chain.
