TUBEULTRA-Q
Ultra-musical 4-band Tube Parametric Equalizer delivers outstanding equalization both in live applications and in the studio
s For gentle contouring and audio sweetening in audio post-production and recording studios s For room equalization and extreme corrective surgery e.g. notching out unwanted frequencies s Our new ULTRA TUBE circuitry warms up your music without unwanted noise s A special Warmth control lets you add the amount of tube sound you want s Selected 12AX7 tubes for outstanding, ultra-musical tube sound
s Parallel filter architecture ensures minimal phase shift and extremely transparent audio performance
s Precision State-Variable filters with Constant-Q principle ensure absolutely stable filter characteristics
s Each band is switchable in/out and is fully adjustable from extremely narrow notch filter (0.03 octave) to broadband equalization (2 octaves)
s A wide overlap between frequency bands allows for extreme cut or boost
s Additional sweepable High and Low Cut filters remove unwanted frequencies e.g. floor rumble and tape hiss s Servo-balanced inputs and outputs s Gold-plated XLR and 1/4" TRS connectors
s Relay-controlled Hard-Bypass with an auto-bypass function during power failure (failsafe relay) s Cut-in delay to avoid switch-on thumps
