A-Designs Audio Introduces EM-EQ2 Stereo Equaliser

News Image
Following the success of its Pultec-style EM-PEQ 500 Series equaliser module, A-Designs Audio has launched a new two-channel rack-mounted version, known as the EM-EQ2.
Well-suited for tracking, mixing and even mastering applications, the EM-EQ2 is a dual-mono equaliser housed in a rugged, metal 2U chassis. Sonically nodding to the classic Pultec EQP-1A sound, the EM-EQ2 utilises the same discreet Class AB amplifier found in both A-Designs' popular solid-state Lunchbox EM-PEQ and the Pacifica mic pre, putting a rather unique twist on the classic filter of yesteryear. That aside, the EM-EQ2 faithfully preserves the EQ section design, control layout, and of course the wonderfully smooth musicality of the original Pultec unit.
Additional features include a nickel core output transformer, gold Grayhill rotary switches, Wima caps and a true hard bypass. Rather than using 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.
Peter Montessi, A-Design's Audio's, said: "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. The 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 rackmount 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."
The EM-EQ2 is available now.
