A-Designs EM-EQ2 Pultec Style Equalizer Description
See our listing for the NAIL & EQ2 COMBO
Well-suited for tracking, mixing and even mastering
applications, the EM-EQ2 is a dual-mono equalizer housed in a rugged,
all-metal 2U chassis. Sonically nodding to the classic Pultec EQP-1A
sound, the EM-EQ2 utilizes the same discrete Class AB amplifier found in
A-Designs’ popular solid-state EM-PEQ and Pacifica mic pres, putting a
slightly unique twist on the classic filter design of yesteryear. That
aside, the EM-EQ2 faithfully preserves the EQ section design, control
layout and wonderfully smooth musicality of the original Pultec unit.
Additional features include
a nickel core output transformer, Wima caps, and a true hard bypass.
Instead of using common off-the-shelf chokes, A-Designs uses a
custom-wound tapped inductor wound to the same values as the 500 Series
EM-PEQ. Fully balanced, noise-free performance with modern impedance
specs make for intuitive operation and quick studio integration.
“The original EQP-1A has
long been revered by both recording and mastering engineers for its
ability to improve the sound of literally anything running through it,”
says A-Designs Audio’s Peter Montessi. “The much more affordable
EM-EQ2 is our take on that classic design with all of the same freq
settings and inductors that made the Pultec a must-have for capturing
the bottom end. This product is perfect for those engineers who are
looking to add some vibe to their ITB tracks or two-buss but prefer to
use standard rack-mount gear instead of 500 Series modules.”
“I should also point out
that the EM-EQ2 pairs up exceptionally with our HM2EQ HAMMER for those
engineers looking to add some analog texture that the digital world
still lacks,” Montessi adds.
