Golden Age Project EQ81 MKIII 4-band Equalizer

Description: Equalize Your Tracks with Superior Vintage Character The EQ-81 MKIII from the Golden Age Project is everything you'd want from a vintage-sounding equalizer, and at a budget-friendly price. GAP based this 4-band EQ off of the classic 1081 module, starting with a comparable class-AB equalizer circuit, but without the lowpass and highpass filters. The MKIII employs some serious, no-nonsense vintage-style electronics, free from integrated circuits in its signal path when the insert connector is in use. The versatility of the MKIII's frequencies has stunned Sweetwater's sound engineers, offering an incredible wide frequency range with shelving and bell switching for the bass and treble bands, respectively. You can get creative and combine the MKIII with GAP's separate Pre-73 preamp to replicate a full vintage 1081-style unit for a fraction of the cost. Additionally, the upgraded knobs and balanced connections set the EQ-81 MKIII apart from the MKII, creating a reliable, self-contained Sweetwater is an Authorized Golden Age Project Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty Golden Age Project EQ81 MKIII 4-band Equalizer 1-channel, 4-band Analog EQ with Balanced TRS and XLR Connectors Equalize Your Tracks with Superior Vintage Character The EQ-81 MKIII from the Golden Age Project is everything you'd want from a vintage-sounding equalizer, and at a budget-friendly price.

You'll find a number of updates with the MKIII, including exterior features like the new level control knobs with more defined grip. Some of the internal improvements include added small coupling caps in parallel with all electrolytic caps in the IC based section and in/out section, and balanced connections that provide for self-contained operation. Additionally, a 230-volt power adapter offers an external power supply to avoid interaction with the audio circuits. Wide frequency range and switchable shelving The new EQ-81 MKIII comes equipped with stepped frequency controls, providing a wide range of frequency selection between 33Hz and 15kHz. The MKIII is also incredibly versatile, making customizing your EQ preferences between bands a breeze with the switchable shelving and bell settings for Bass and Treble, as well as bell-type low and high MID frequency bands that each include switchable Hi Q settings. Your control range is +/-18dB, and the MKIII also provides an off mode for all four bands, allowing for maximum EQ customization of your tracks.Build a 1081-style unit with your other GAP modules There's no doubt that the EQ-81 MKIII functions as a solid, standalone equalizer for a variety of microphone and instrumental tracks. But when the MKIII is combined with GAP's separate Pre-73 preamp using a Unite rack-mounting kit, you can essentially reconstruct a 19-inch 1081-style unit for a mere fraction of the cost. That's right, the iconic 1081 equalizing module — the one that offered those warm and musical characteristics that transformed so many recordings over the years — is finally at your fingertips!Golden Age Project EQ-81 MkIII 4-band Equalizer Features: Vintage-style electronics free from integrated circuits in signal path (when the insert connector is used); tantalum capacitors in EQ signal path Versatile 4-band EQ with inductor-based mid-frequency bands Stepped frequency selection with very wide range (33Hz–15kHz) Control range of +/-18dB, with an off mode for each band Useful as a standalone equalizer, or when paired with GAP preamp via the insert jack TRS jack for INSERT mode in-and output connection (nominal working level is -18dB) IC-based in and output stage for the Line In mode with balanced TRS and XLR connectors Selectable ground lift jumper to disconnect audio signal from chassis ground Includes an external 230V power supply to avoid interaction audio circuits SpecificationDetail Type Solid State Number of Channels 1 Number of Bands 4 Q Type Switchable Hi Q Boost/Cut Range ±18dB per band Freq Range High 3kHz-15kHz Freq Range Hi-Mid 1500Hz-10kHz Freq Range Lo-Mid 230Hz-1600Hz Freq Range Low 33Hz-330Hz RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
