Features

Class-A stereo equalizer with perfect coherence

Both channels are strictly coupled thanks to precisely selected components. You can work safely with stereo sources, subgroups or the master, without imbalance or image loss.

Resonant high-pass and low-pass filters

The bass and treble bands operate as shelf or resonant filters. You can clean up the low end, control the high end or add character to the cutoff. Ideal for quickly structuring a signal.

Musical parametric midrange

Two Q-switched midrange tones enable wide or more targeted corrections. You can shape the sound in a natural, non-aggressive way. Perfect for adding presence or correcting problem areas.

LC passive high-frequency filter

A passive stage opens up the high end of the spectrum with elegance. You gain air and depth without harshness. A simple knob is all it takes to sublimate the treble.

Precise settings and reliable recall

Notched potentiometers ensure stable, reproducible settings. You can recall your sessions with precision, a real comfort when mixing and mastering.
