Behringer Bode Frequency Shifter 1630

Shift into high gear and get ready for that drop because the BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER 1630 from Behringer is here! Expand your setup with an authentic recreation of the famous module from the ‘70s made with state-of-the-art circuitry including a voltage-controlled beat frequency quadrature oscillator. The BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER just might be the piece you need to fill out that empty slot in your setup.

FEATURES

• Authentic recreation of the famous Bode frequency shifter from the '70s

• Accurately shifts the entire frequency spectrum continuously variable from -5 to +5 kHz

• State-of-the-art circuitry includes voltage-controlled beat frequency quadrature oscillator

• Accurately shifts input signals over the audio frequency range of 30 Hz - 16 kHz

• Amount of shift is accurately voltage-variable with linear or exponential control

• Variable threshold squelch minimizes apparent carrier bleed-through due to input signal background noise

• Less than 1% total unwanted modulation and distortion products

• Eurorack specs: 14 HP, 110 mA +12 V, 110 mA -12 V

Ready for Any Signal
The BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER accurately shifts the entire frequency spectrum of any input signal from -5 to +5 kHz. Simply plug in any audio source and start turning the giant knob to lower or raise the frequency. The amount of shift can also be varied with the Scale knob which lets you switch between linear or exponential control.

Controls
Additional controls on the BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER include a variable threshold squelch which minimizes carrier bleed-through and can be used to creatively alter the input signal’s characteristics. Up to three control voltages can also plugged in, as well as up to four output signals.

Eurorack Ready
The BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER is designed to fit into a standard Eurorack case. Just connect the power cables to the power supply and mount the module using the included screws. This allows it to be mixed with other synth modules for a truly unique set up.
